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
