Cabin Fever

"Cabin Fever" is a song from the 1996 film Muppet Treasure Island.
When the wind drops, and the Hispaniola begins to drift, the crew go stir crazy out of boredom. The human pirate twosome, Calico Jerry and Easy Pete, are the first to succumb to cabin fever and the rest of the crew quickly follow suit. Some of the lead characters, including Squire Trelawney and Gonzo, dress up in Cuban-&-Mexican-style costumes and dance around the ship playing maracas with Angel Marie playing the ukulele. Some crew members also dress up as cowboys and goatherds. Additionally, the Hispaniola gets decorated in tropical-themed party decorations with the sky darkened.
==Lyrics==
Calico Jerry: I've got cabin fever!
Easy Pete: I've got it too!
Muppets: CABIN FEVER!
I got cabin fever; it's burning in my brain
I've got cabin fever; it's driving me insane
We got cabin fever; we're flipping our bandanas
Been stuck at sea so long that we have simply gone bananas
Ariba!
Chica chica boom
A chica chica boom boom chic
Chica chica boom
A chica chica boom boom chic
We got cabin fever; we've lost what sense we had
We got cabin fever; we're all going mad
[Heard only in the soundtrack version]
My sanity is hanging by a thread
Since we're going nowhere, I've gone out of my head
We were sailing sailing over the bounding main
And now we're not! Ha ha heh!
Grab your partner by the ears
Lash him to the wheel
Do-si-do step on his toe
Listen to him squeal
Allemande left, allemande right
It's time to sail or sink
Swing your partner over the side
Drop him in the drink
We got cabin fever
No ifs, ands or buts
We're disoriented
And demented
And a little nuts
Ach du lieber Volkswagen car
(Yodel-lay-ee-hoo)
Sauerbraten, wienerschnitzel
Und wunderbar
(Yodel-lay-ee-hoo)
Men: We were sailing, sailing, the wind was on our side
Real Old Tom: But then it died
Muppets: 
I've got cabin fever
I think I've lost my grip
I'd like to get my hands on
Whoever wrote this script
Si!
Angel Marie: 
I was floating 'neath a tropic moon
And dreaming of a blue lagoon
Now I'm crazy as a loon
Everyone: 
Cabin fever has ravaged all aboard
This once proud vessel has become a floating psycho ward
We were sailing, sailing, headed who knows where
And now though we're all here
We're not all there''
Cabin fever!
AAHHH!!''

==Trivia==
*In this song, the upbeat music plays a tiny portion of the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor when Real Old Tom comes out of the black coffin with purple silk inside.
*This is the first Muppet song that one of the characters criticizes the Jim Henson Production staff members who write the script to the film.
