The Frigate That Flies — The Pirate Ensemble Lyrics

The Frigate That Flies Song 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,
All 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 stealin':
I'll rob the Sistine Chapel,
Of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling!

Oppenheimer:
And for all the folks in Egypt
It will be a dismal day
They'll be crying for their mommies
When we take their mommies 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
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 the frigate that flies?
No one can fight a frigate that flies!

James:
Oh, how high we will be, (Crew: We will be)
'Cause the blue fairy dust surely packs a mighty wallop (Crew: It only takes a dollop)
Soon it will set us free (Crew: 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

Crew:
And we owe it all to our great and glorious captain!

Yang (speaking):
Although now that you've mentoined it, why are we taking orders from some fairy?
(A two, three, four!)

Crew:
Hey ho!
Imagine the places that we'll go.
No one can stop us when we're so high
Give 'em 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 the 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 in the skies,
In the frigate that flies!
Oi!
