The Frigate That Flies by The Pirate Ensemble Lyrics
First the Tower of London, arr
The guards won't know what hit it
We swoop right down and take the crown
And the crown jewels with it!
And when we fly to Paris
Oh, the treasures I'll be grabbing
The Mona Lisa will look lovely
Hanging in me cabin!
Hey ho!
Imagine the places that we'll go
No one can stop us when we're so high
In the stratosphere
Hey ho!
We'll be the freighter that plunders
Every one of the world's seven wonders
When we're up in the skies
For who can fight a frigate that flies?
No one can fight a frigate that flies!
Next, we'll roam to Rome, me lads
And here's what I'll be stealing:
I'll rob the Sistine Chapel
Of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling!
And for all the folks in Egypt
It will be a dismal day
They'll be crying for their mummies
When we take their mummies away!
Hey ho!
Imagine the places that we'll go
No one can stop us when we're so high
They will all cower in fear (Arr!)
Hey ho!
From Delhi to Rio to Venice
There's no city that we will not menace
When we're up in the skies
For who can fight a frigate that flies?
No one can fight a frigate that flies!
Oh, how high we will be, (We will be)
'Cause the blue fairy dust surely packs a mighty wallop (Only takes a dollop)
Soon it will set us free (We'll be free)
From the chains of gravity
Then we'll hoist up the sail
And we'll set course for the sun
'Cause, when you've got wings
No wicked deed cannot be done
And we owe it all to our great and glorious captain!
Although, now that you mention it, why are we taking orders from some fairy, anyway?
Heh heh heh... A two, three, four!
Hey ho!
Imagine the places that we'll go
No one can stop us when we're so high
Givin' a pirate cheer!
Yes! (Arr!)
Hey ho!
We'll be the freighter that plunders
Every one of the world's seven wonders
When we're up in the skies
For who can fight a frigate that flies?
Hey ho!
There's not a town or a county
That will not yield its bounty up
When our ship draws near
Hey ho!
There's not a city or village
That we will not plunder or pillage
When we're up in the skies
For who can fight a frigate that flies?
And every nation
Will give a donation
When they see us sail the skies
In a frigate that flies!
Hey!
The guards won't know what hit it
We swoop right down and take the crown
And the crown jewels with it!
And when we fly to Paris
Oh, the treasures I'll be grabbing
The Mona Lisa will look lovely
Hanging in me cabin!
Hey ho!
Imagine the places that we'll go
No one can stop us when we're so high
In the stratosphere
Hey ho!
We'll be the freighter that plunders
Every one of the world's seven wonders
When we're up in the skies
For who can fight a frigate that flies?
No one can fight a frigate that flies!
Next, we'll roam to Rome, me lads
And here's what I'll be stealing:

Of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling!
