Pirates Putting on a Play

First Mate, Jack, Annie, Pinky, Blinky, Slinky, Stinky, Billy, Molly, Jonah, Nathaniel, Wilhelmina, Peter, Bilgerats & Scallywags Pirates

First Mate: Time to turn those cell phones off

Pirates: To adventure we away

First Mate: No photographs and don’t you cough!

Pirates: We are pirates putting on a play!

First Mate: Don’t rip your candy wrappers, please.

Pirates: Hey, my hearties off we go.

First Mate: Now climb a-board, but don’t you sneeze.

Pirates: We are pirates putting on a show!

First Mate: Raise the curtain, set the scene.

Pirates: Take your places don’t delay

First Mate: Don’t be afraid if we act mean.

Pirates: We are pirates putting on a play!

First Mate: Cue the fife and cue the drum.

Pirates: Pick the pace up don’t be slow

First Mate: A-hoy, out there! We’re glad you’ve come.

Pirates: We are pirates putting on a show!

Pirates:  T’was just another summer day when Jack and Annie came to play

They spied a ladder hanging down from way up high down to the ground

They climbed the ladder to take a look they found a tree house full of books.

They made a wish and the tree house shook it spun and spun and off they took.

Annie/Jack: Up here high in the tallest tree there is one thing we would like to know. Out there through history time and space. Where is the next place we will go?

Pirates: Yo ho! Yo ho! Yo ho! Yo ho! Yo ho! Yo ho! Yo ho!

Reading a Book

Jack, Annie & Jonah

Annie: Reading a book is such a fun thing.

Jack: The number one thing I like to do

Annie: Me too

Jack: You meet new faces

Annie: See new places

Jack/Annie: You’re never bored or lonely with a story if you’ll only go a long for the ride Let it draw you inside soon there’s nowhere else that you’d rather be.

Annie: You’ll see       From beginning to end

Jack: A book is a friend

Jack/Annie: and when it’s over you’ll be richer from the journey you took.

Annie: You’ll be cheering and high fiving

Jack: Neither flying nor skydiving

Jack/Annie: is a bigger thrill than reading a book.

Jack, Annie & Pirates: Sailors read the moon Sailors read the stars Sailors read the distance between Jupiter and Mars. Sailors read the winds so has it not occurred if sailors read the sky they can read a word.

Jonah: A – B – C –D   E-F-G and there are

Jack/Annie: Reading a book is such a fun thing the number one thing we like to do.

Jonah: others as well who’d like to read and to spell I’ll tell the quarter master and the swabs the mates and the cook friends, if we can sail the ocean.

Jack, Annie & Jonah: Reading tidal waves in the motion then it should be simple reading a book.

Jack/Annie: You’ll be reeling you’ll be jigging      With your sails at overflowing

Jonah & Pirates: We’ll be whistling in the rigging We’ll be yarring and yo-ho-ing

Jack, Annie, Jonah & Pirates: With the very thought of knowing that you’re going to be reading a book.
