Never-Never Land was quite a place. Peter Pan had told Wendy about the Lost Boys, mentioning the possibility that she could come and be their mother, but he hadn't said very much about a pirate ship that lay at anchor not far from shore, or about the pirate leader, the fierce and blustery Captain Hook.
Sometimes the sound coming off the deck of the pirate ship was just as fierce and blustery as the Captain himself, and the voices of the pirates, echoing off the waters of the bay, could be heard up and down the coast of the mysterious island.

Song #9 - High Sea Robbery
Pirates
We’ve made an obsession out of our profession
And we practice it twenty-four hours a day
We’re out to getcha and when we catch ya
We’ll take every bit of your treasure away
Captain Hook
Oh, me mates, scan the sea
If there’s a sail in sight, then report to me
Pirates
Yo ho, yo ho
‘Cause we still got plenty of room in the hold
For very precious metals like silver and gold
And it’s just like robbing a floating bank
And the other crew will join us or walk...
the plank!
We don’t feel sorrow from the folks we borrow from
We’re just doing business in the usual way
To get our profits up we’ll make you cough it up
Hand over all that you owe us today.
Captain Hook
Oh, me mates, look what I see
A rich Spanish galleon sailing right at me!
Pirates
Yo ho, yo ho
‘Cause we still got plenty of room in the hold
For very precious metals like silver and gold
And it’s just like robbing a floating bank
And the other crew will join us or walk…
you know what—heh, heh!
‘Cause we’ve made an obsession out of our profession
And we practice it twenty-four hours a day
We’re out to getcha and when we catch ya
We’ll take every bit of your treasure away
Yo ho, yo ho!
