"Dead Man's Chest" is a written lyric from Robert Louis Stevenson's book Treasure Island for which music was added by Henry Waller for a Broadway rendition of the story in 1901.
The song is performed in a medley at the end of The Muppet Show episode 507. After Kermit takes "Black Jackson" (Glenda Jackson) captive, the cast sing "Fifteen men on the dead man's chest, yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"
