"Ballad of Badbeard" is a sea shanty about the pirate Badbeard sung in the episode "The Ballad of Badbeard". It is first sung by Clyde Flynn, introducing the kids to the tale, then by Phineas, Ferb, Baljeet, Buford, Isabella, and the Fireside Girls aboard the pirate ship (accompanied by Candace on shore) as they sail to find Badbeard's treasure.
Lyrics[]
Original Version[]
Clyde Flynn: Arg, arg, arg, arg, this is the Ballad of Badbeard! (2x)
Clyde, Phineas, Isabella, Baljeet and Buford: Arg, arg, arg, arg, this is the Ballad of Badbeard
Revamped Version[]
Phineas: Avast, me 'arties!
We're sailing for the Isle of Spleen,
To search for the Treasure of Badbeard!
Holly: I'm feeling sick.
Gretchen: You're looking green.
All: We search for the Treasure of Badbeard!
Buford: We'll plunder and pillage
Baljeet: And do some math
Ferb: And all refuse to take a bath
Isabella: We seek adventure and romance
Baljeet: I'm running out of underpants!
All but Ferb: There's ghosts who haunt the cave, and worse:
Talking Skull: It's guarded by a pirate's curse!
Candace: Why do my nostrils whisper to me?
All: Arg, arg, arg, arg, This is the Ballad of Badbeard! (X2)
Demo version[]
He had the baddest beard around,
But never make fun of the bad beard.
He slit me gullet and blew me down!
You shouldn't have laughed at the bad beard.
He wears it with a pirate's flair,
A fam'ly lodges in his hair.
Sometimes it's pink, sometimes it's plaid,
A paisley beard is really bad.
His beard is fond of wearing pants.
We hear his beard can sing and dance.
Arg, arg, arg, arg, This is the Ballad of Badbeard!
Arg, arg, arg, arg, This is the Ballad of Badbeard!
