(Note: Sung to the tune of The Nightmare Before Christmas's "Kidnap The Sandy Claws")

Sung by Twilight Sparkle

Fluttershy was reluctant to release a fish called Gil that she had nursed back to health, and so Twilight and the rest of her friends went to the beach together to try and convince her to let him go.

Then a pirate ship washed up on the shore (as you do), beginning yet another weird adventure for all.

Mishap off sandy shores?
I'll spin a shanty
And some more
It started when Fluttershy
Just wouldn't tell
A lil' fish goodbye
Oh yes, that is why

Wheeee
La, la, la, la, la, la
La-la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La-la-la-la-la

Mishap off sandy shores, misadventure! Ho!
I'll tell you every detail - all you need to know

So we were chillin' on the sand
But then a ship washes up and
It washed Gil straight into the sea
Out of reach of those on land
A pirate captain disembarks
He says he wants to find some mark
At Gallopinghost Islands tides
And Rainbow dragged us for the ride

Mishap off sandy shores, started off so plain
We got roped into swashbuckling then went home again

We stopped first at an old port town,
Hoofbeard explain what will go down
We had to recover a map
That his old crew had stashed
Wheeee!

While Fluttershy recovered Gil
AJ fed him pineapple swill
Hoofbeard admits that if we fail
Pirates Pony's totally doomed

Rest of us went to a bar
Found that's where Hoofbeard's old crew are
They tried to kidnap me
But out of them, I kicked the tar!

Mishap off sandy shores, it gets strange from here
So go get your rum bottles and go lend me an ear

They admit that the map is in a nearby creature's pit
Cos they got sick of chasing the moving "X" that's on it

We get led where they chucked the map
It's guarded by a giant crab

Pinkie Pie distracts it with fun
We grab the map and run!
Ummm!

We meet back on the ship with the map and clue
A message Hoofbeard sent that says "I'll meet up with you"

Our stake in Hoofbeard has just thinned
He then leads us somewhere
With no wind

We're lost!
You see!
I get something, listen now
So we all stage a mutiny
And we intend to head straight back
We make some wind, then suddenly
Out of nowhere we're set upon
We get attacked by merponies
One of which Hoofs has his eye on
And that's what the X means, you see

Mishap off sandy shores, so all is explained
And Fluttershy has realised she can't make the fish stay

Mishap off sandy shores, together at last
The merponies give us a ride and we head home so fast
Mishap off sandy shores, started off so plain
We got roped into swashbuckling then went home again
