[Intro: captain and crew] Who’s got the gold? WE’VE GOT THE GOLD! What do we do? GIVE IT AWAY! Twenty-four karat? TWENTY-FOUR BARS! Enough golden paper to outshine the stars! Hoist the Main! Let the Pirate Talk roll! Twenty-four bars of candy gold! [Verse 1] At Home Port, Bridget and Scoot struck gold, Twenty-four fortunes to fill and fold. Paper bars packed with a candy surprise, No royal mint, just a gleam in our eyes. Trip Line rattles along the street; The Porchlight Pirates come up for a treat. The Cardboard Kraken gives way to the crew; Bridget’s Booty has plenty for you. [Chorus: lead and crew] Twenty-four bars of candy gold! PASS IT AROUND! Sweetest little treasure in this pirate town! Come Empty-Handed! LEAVE WITH A HAUL! A damn fine fortune to share with you all! Unfold the paper! WHAT DO YOU SEE? A gold-bar fortune, and the sweets are free! [Verse 2] Treasure Map X says, “You Are Here,” Under a WEB with the pumpkins near. “I Fixed Your Door!” says a skeleton thin. “Good! Open it wide; let the treasure come in!” “The Map Eats First?” Let the map wait, Jack! Parrot chirps out The Pirate’s Secret Track: “Let’s Find Some Booty!” We answer, “Aye!” With Special Thanks and a bar held high. [Bridge: playful inspection, instruments drop back] A One-Way Prophet said, “They’ll take the lot!” That’s what we brought it for, ready or not! “Who Holds the Scale?” Our parrot cries, “Tare!” as he steals the captain’s prize. Net Weight: pure Sugar! Benign Taste: divine! The bank won’t accept it; the pirates don’t mind. Nobody’s Force Fed; pick what you please, Let the Aftertaste sail on the Halloween breeze! [Final Chorus: full crew, fiddle soaring] Twenty-four bars of candy gold! PASS IT AROUND! Sweetest little treasure in this pirate town! Come Empty-Handed! LEAVE WITH A HAUL! A damn fine fortune to share with you all! Unfold the paper! WHAT DO YOU SEE? A gold-bar fortune, and the sweets are free! [Outro: captain and parrot] “You’ll Never Get My Treasure?” EXCEPT FOR TONIGHT! Hold out your bag in the lantern light! “One More Port!” Let the good fortune roll! The next little pirate gets candy gold!
