In fourteen hundred and ninety two,

A sailor from New Delhi

Was walking down the streets of Spain,

Selling hot tamales

 

Chorus:

He said the world was roundo

He said it could be foundo

That hypothetical calculatin' son of a gun Colombo

 

He walked right up to the Queen of Spain

And asked for ships and cargo

He said I'll be a son of a gun if I don't bring back Chicago

-Chorus

 

The ships cook, the ships cook

Yes he was a cookin'

He slipped a rat into the pot

When no one else was lookin'

-Chorus

 

The second mate, the second mate

Yes he was a singin'

He hit the second highest note

And all our ears were ringin'

-Chorus

 

The first mate, the first mate,

Yes he was a biggun

He fought and killed an octopus

And used its arms for riggin'

-Chorus

 

The captain, the captain,

Yes he was a sailin'

He guided us around the world

And home without a failin'

-Chorus
