were going on a treasure hunt
were going on a treasure hunt
going to get some fancy ones
were not scared!

we cant go over it we cant go under it
oh no! weve got to go through it
splish splosh plish splosh splish splosh

were going on a treasure hunt
were going on a treasure hunt
going to get some fancy ones
were not scared!

uh oh! a jungle
a dark gloomy jungle
we cant go over it we cant go under it
oh no! weve got to go through it
stumble trip stumble trip stumble trip

were going on a treasure hunt
were going on a treasure hunt
going to get some fancy ones
were not scared!

uh oh a sand storm
a swerling werling sand storm
we cant go over it we cant go under it
oh no! weve got to go through it
whooo hooo whooo hooo

were going on a treasure hunt
were going on a treasure hunt
going to get some fancy ones
were not scared!

uh ho! a cave
a sparkly shiny treasure cave
we cant go over it we cant go under it
oh no we have to go through it
tip toe tip toe tip toe

one wooden leg
two beedy eyes
oh no its a pirate!

quick back through the cave
tip toe tip toe tip toe
back through the sand storm
whoo hoo whoo hooo
back through the jungle
stumble trip stumble trip
back through the river
splish splosh splish splosh

get to the house open the door!

oh no forgot to shut the door
back down the stairs

into bed
under the covers
(sigh) were never going on a treasure hunt again
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(to the tune of twinkle twinkle little star)
yo ho its a pirates life
sail in dark sail in light
sail through the day and all through the night
yo ho its a pirates life

when I was 1 I had some fun the day I went to sea,
I jumped aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me,
we go this way that way forwards and backwards over the deep blue sea,
a bottle of rum to fill my tum its a pirates life for me!

when I was 2, I lost my shoe the day I went to sea,[repeat the rest of above!] and continue making rhymes to numbers as high as you want to go!
