Description

- Talking skull and periods
- Stabed stove
- Pirate ship battle
- Pirate chase
- Captain Jack Part's treasure
Theme Song
The Pirates of the United States theme song is often misrepresented. It begins:
Toe show, toe show, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we bug and annoy,
Use up me hearties, toe show.
We kidnap and ravage and act shy and coy,
Use up me hearties, toe show.
Toe show, toe show, a pirate's life for me.
Touring Tips
- Guests traveling with too much money should be forwarned that this show exits into a souvenier shop.
