Well, I've never been [to] Greenland

And I've never been to Denver

And I've never buried treasure in St. Louis or St. Paul

And I've never been to Moscow

And I've never been to Tampa

And I've never been to Boston in the fall

'Cause we're the Pirates

Who don't do anything

We just stay home and lie around

And if you ask us to do anything

We'll just tell you:

...

We don't do anything.

EDIT:

Viking Hippie found a typo!

Veggie tales, on lemmy? Alright.

I feel like the "raised fairly extreme Christian -> fuck basically all that noise" demographic is uh, kinda either underrepresented or unacknowledged on lemmy.

I may no longer be religious, but, goddamnit, that song is a banger.

I've previously ... apparently just completely introduced a fair amount of people to the NRA's uh Eddie Eagle, the gun safety mascot.

I'm guessing there is actually a fairly large amount of nerds who were raised American Christian in the 90s, who also basically had dysfunctional families, and thus spent a lot of time on their computers and the internet, trying to escape that.

It's been a long time since I heard Veggie Tales.

Well, I've never been Greenland

Me neither, but I HAVE been there.

It's quite lovely in the summer and nowhere near as cold as you'd expect.

Ah! The lyrics page I copied from must have messed that up, hah!

... the verses get increasingly ridiculous.

By the end, you have:

And I've never licked a spark plug

And I've never sniffed a stink bug

And I've never painted daisies on a big red rubber ball

And I've never bathed in yogurt

And I don't look good in leggings

...

And we've never been to Boston in the fall!

... this is all being sung by a 90s CGI/cartoon cucumber with a face, amongst a bunch of other CGI fruits and vegetables, dressed as pirates, basically on beach lounge chairs, on a moored like, galleass or something.

I think ostensibly the joke for the adults is supposed to be like, a guy or some guys who just own a boat, but never actually take it out, just use it as an excuse to get away from the house.
