"Rough, Tough, Burly Sailor Song" is a song from the animated series Disney's Adventures of the Gummi Bears, featured in the episode "Up, Up, and Away". It is sung by Chummi Gummi and the other Gummi Bears. Parts of the melody heavily reference the sea shanty "The Sailor's Hornpipe".

An extended version of the song was released on The Disney Afternoon soundtrack album.

Lyrics[]

We are rough, tough, burly sailors
As tall as we are wide
And the ocean's just an itty-bitty pond
With Gummies on the other side

We are rough, tough, burly sailors
We are rough, tough, burly guys
And we sail the seas on the salty breeze
Eating Gummiberry Pies

Sing hey! Heave-ho!
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
We'll be heaving and a ho-ing
But we don't know where we're going
Sing hey! Heave-ho!

Sing hey! Heave-ho!
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
We'll be heaving and a ho-ing
But we don't know where we're going
Sing hey! Heave-ho!

We are rough, tough, burly sailors
We're a rough, tough, burly crew
To stay big and burly, we get up early
And eat burly barley stew!

We are rough, tough, burly sailors
We love to tell tall tales
Of sailing ships, of mermaid's lips
And taming killer whales

Sing hey! Heave-ho!
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
We'll be heaving and a ho-ing
But we don't know where we're going
Sing hey! Heave-ho!

We are rough, tough, burly sailors
Don't ever call us dumb
We hammer and hammer on the old windjammer
But we never smash our thumbs (Ouch!)

Sing hey! Heave-ho!
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
We'll be heaving and a ho-ing
But we don't know where we're going
Sing hey! Heave-ho!

Sing hey! Heave-ho!
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
We'll be heaving and a ho-ing
But we don't know where we're going
Sing hey! Heave-ho!
