Tarantella
Peter Pan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
me thinks I see a spark a gleam a glimmer of a plan
in which perhaps it may redeem me honor as a man
kiddnap Wendy, seize the boys, and you'll have Hook to thank
for when the time is ripe you'll see the children walk the plank!
Oh!- when was such a princely plot concocted by another
to murder all the boys and keep the Wendy for our mother
All
When was such a princely plot concocted by another
to murder all the boys and keep the Wendy- for our mother
Captain Hook
Hey!
(bravo!)
bravo!
(bravo!)
bravo!
(yoho!)
yoho!
(yoho!)
yoho!
(to the ship!) to the ship! (to the ship!) to the ship! (to the ship!)---
To the ship!
The lyrics of Peter Pan's song Tarantella, as sung by Captain Hook, reveal his wicked plan to kidnap Wendy and the boys and ultimately kill them by making them walk the plank. The lyrics demonstrate Hook's cunning and strategic thinking, as he believes this will earn him honor as a man. The chorus, sung by all, emphasizes the unusual nature of this plot - to murder all the boys but keep Wendy for their mother. Hook then leads his crew in boisterous cheers and orders them to return to the ship to set the plan in motion.
The lyrics encapsulate the villainous nature of Captain Hook and his obsession with revenge against Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, taking extreme measures to achieve it. The upbeat and lively tune of this song adds to the air of celebration around the crew's plans, which is a stark contrast to the dark and malicious intentions behind them. The song is a unique and memorable addition to the musical score of Peter Pan, adding depth to the character of Captain Hook and his role in the story.

Cyril Ritchard was clearly having the time of his life playing Captain Hook.

The best version of captain hook
@MacDougalPuppy
We did this play in middle school and on the first rehearsal of this scene, the kid playing Hook said "Tempo? Tempo? TARANTULA!"
@PTSmash
It's funny you say that, because I once got an idea for an animation of a spider doing the Tarantella. I thought of giving it the title "Taran-tula".
@kennethwayne6857
I believe that tarantella is the Italian word for tarantula but don't quote me on that.
@Sigma0283
Now that kid did his homework right.
@Blokewood3
The dance was named after the spider. Supposedly doing the dance was supposed to save your life if you got bitten.
