about

Words and music by Igor Koyfman

lyrics

I've got a pirate story in my head
Ephemeral, but what's more real than that?
A pirate and a parrot – what a pair
To challenge them no one would ever dare
Captain Flint and parrot Captain Flint

I've read a hundred books about the sea
And piracy has always called to me
Innumerable heroes of the trade
Yet in my mind next to these two they fade
Captain Flint and parrot Captain Flint

I've heard of Captain Blood and Errol Flynn
The consummate swashbuckler of the screen
I've heard of Captain Hook and Peter Pan
But there is nobody greater than
Captain Flint and parrot Captain Flint
