[Verse 1]
First the Tower of London, argh
The guards won't what hit it
We swoop right down and take the crown
And the crown jewels with it
[Verse 2]
And when we fly to Paris
All the treasures I'll be grabbing
The Mona Lisa will look lovely
Hanging in me cabin
[Verse 3]
Hey ho
Imagine the places that we'll go
No one can stop us we're so high in the stratosphere
[Verse 4]
Hey ho
We'll be the freighter that plunders
Everyone of the world's seven wonders
[Verse 5]
When we're up in the skies
For who can fight a frigate that flies?
No one can fight a frigate that flies
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Hey ho
Imagine the places that we'll go
No one can stop us we're so high they will all cover in fear
[Verse 9]
Hey ho
From Delhi to Rio to Venice
There's no city that we will not menace
[Verse 10]
When we're up in the skies
For who can fight a frigate that flies?
No one can fight a frigate that flies
[Verse 11]
Oh, how high we will be (We will be)
'Cause the blue fairy dust surely packs a mighty wallop
(It 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
[Verse 12]
(A two, three, four)
[Verse 13]
Hey ho
Imagine the places that we'll go
No one can stop us we're so high, give 'em a pirate cheer, yes (Argh)
[Verse 14]
Hey ho
We'll be the freighter that plunders
Everyone of the world's seven wonders
[Verse 15]
When we're up in the skies
For who can fight a frigate that flies?
[Verse 16]
Hey ho
There's not a town or a country
That will not yield its bounty up when the ship draws near
[Verse 17]
Hey ho
There's not a city or a village
That we will not plunder or pillage
[Verse 18]
When we're up in the skies
For who can fight a frigate that flies?
[Verse 19]
And every nation
Will give a donation
When they see us in the skies
In the frigate that flies
Oi
