Looking for the lyrics and the name of the song that begins "I want to be where the warm winds blowin' Layin' in the noonday sun. I want to go where the palm trees swayin..."

And who was the female singer that featured it? Must have been 1980-1985.

It's funny how one request reminds you of another song.

I remember as a kid there was a childrens show on steam radio in England, all about pirates. What little I remember of the theme tune is....

Fare well my hearties and the ship was set to sea
when the warm winds are blowing in the High Barbaree...

Greetings,Bert. I'm smiling because I've just been trying to find out exactly what you wanted to know in 1998. The villain was Meester Calamanco and he offered people sugar plooms in a very sinister way. I always sing that song in a lovely wind, and what I sing is So fare thee well my dearie, my ship will set to sea, when the warm winds are blowing on the High Barbaree. Sorry I have no more information than that.

to where the warm winds blowin
i shouldna ate that curry
my pants are in a tidy mess
a brown distasteful slurry
the smell of boiled eggs on the breeze
a hint of cabbage pong

it dribbles quickly past my knees
now lets all sing along

CHORUS    SHITEY SHITEY TOO RA LAY HUM BIDDY DO DAH NID

      REPEAT THREE TIMES

I got this email today:

> I was surfing the web trying to find a link to an old tune which I have known since childhood in the UK. Today,one of the movie channels is running the movie 'High Barbaree'
>
> This brought the old tune back to mind although I do not expect to hear it in the movie.
>
> The lyrics which I have never forgotten are "Fare thee well my dearie,my ship will put to sea when the warm winds are blowing on the high Barbaree"
>
> I punched these words into Google and up popped Mudcat site with a couple of readers discussing this tune.I think that the earliest writer was in 1998.

Anybody have more words to the writer's "High Barbaree" song? Bert?

I remember that this was the theme tune to a (serial?) play on BBC Children' Hour. The key to the song was that it was a clue to the search (for treasure?), which was found where it came to land, when a model ship, with its sails set as found, was launched at a specific point on a lake in the High Barbary when the Warm Winds were blowing.
