"The Frigate That Flies" is a song sung by James and the pirate crew in the film, The Pirate Fairy, as they think about the things they will do when Zarina makes the whole ship fly.
Lyrics[]
Port: 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!
Bonito: And when we fly to Paris,
Oh, the treasures I'll be grabbing -
The Mona Lisa will look lovely
Hanging in me cabin!
Crew: Hey ho!
Imagine the places that we'll go
Starboard: No one can stop us when we're so high
In the stratosphere
Crew: Hey ho!
We'll be the freighter that plunders
Every one of the world's seven wonders
When we're up in the skies,
Port: For who can fight a frigate that flies?
Yang: No one can fight a frigate that flies!
Starboard: 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!
Oppenheimer: 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!
Crew: Hey ho!
Imagine the places that we'll go
No one can stop us when we're so high
Oppenheimer: They will all cower in fear (Arr!)
Crew: Hey ho!
From Delhi to Rio to Venice,
There's no city that we will not menace
When we're up in the skies,
Bonito: For who can fight a frigate that flies?
Oppenheimer: No one can fight a frigate that flies!
James: 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
James and Crew: And we owe it all to our great and glorious captain!
Yang: Although, now that you mention it, why are we taking orders from some fairy, anyway?
[Crew gasps. Zarina throws a sword and pins Yang by his mustache.]
Heh heh heh...A two, three, four!
Crew: Hey ho!
Imagine the places that we'll go
No one can stop us when we're so high
Oppenheimer: Givin' a pirate cheer!
James: Yes! (Arr!)
Crew: 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!
Trivia[]
- Yang questioning Zarina being their captain foreshadows they were actually using her for their own ends.
