I'm going down to the ocean shore I'm gonna find me a giant white seagull I'm gonna stick out my thumb and catch a ride to Portugal Where the ladies all play castanets The ladies play c-c-c-castanets On my flight of fancy Come along with me on my flight tonight Flight of fancy I'd really love the company Then I'm gonna ride a hot air balloon Painted yellow like an August moon I'm gonna sail over Pakistan and land in Astrakhan In a field of whirling dervishes Whirling dervishes And then I'm gonna ride a Jefferson Aeroplane It's gonna take me back to '69 When this world was greener And we thought the plane would never land On this flight of fancy Where the ladies all play castanets In a field of whirling dervishes
