Lyrics
Sesame Street Green: Now here's my favorite pirate song and Frazzle Red will help.

Frazzle Red: With puppets. Heh, heh, heh.

Sesame Street Green: Mm.

Frazzle Red: Look at this, look at this, Sesame Street Green. Look at this. (mimicking dog's bark)

Sesame Street Green: Frazzle Red!

Frazzle Red: Okay, okay. Oh.

Sesame Street Green: There was an old pirate who swallowed a fly. I don't know why he swallowed a fly. I don't know why. There was an old pirate who swallowed a fish. That was his wish to swallow a fish. He swallowed the fish to catch the fly. Why oh why he swallowed that fly. I don't know why. There was an old pirate who swallowed a shark. What a lark. He swallowed a shark. He swallowed the shark to catch the fish. He swallowed the fish to catch the fly. Why oh why he swallowed that fly. I don't know why. There was an old pirate who swallowed a harpoon. What a loon. He swallowed a harpoon. He swallowed the harpoon to catch the shark. He swallowed the shark to catch the fish. He swallowed the fish to catch the fly. Why oh why he swallowed the fly. I don't know why. At last the old pirate he swallowed some bicarbonate of soda. He ate his quota so he swallowed that soda. He swallowed the soda to burp up the harpoon. He swallowed the harpoon to catch the shark. He swallowed the shark to catch the fish. He swallowed the fish to catch the fly. I don't know why he swallowed the fly. I don't know why.

Pirate: (burping)
