CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS

Mister Christopher columbus

Sailed the sea without a compass

When his men began a rumpus

Up spoke, Christopher Columbus

There is land somewhere

Until we get there,

We will not go wrong,

If we sing, «swing a song»

Since the world is round,

We’ll be safe and sound

Til our goal is found,

We’ll just keep rhythm bound

Soon the crew was makin merry

Then came a yell, «Let's drink to Isabelle,

Hum, bring the rum, Ho Hum»

No more mutiny,

What a time at sea

With di-plo-ma-cy

Christy made his-to-ry

Mister Christopher Columbus

He used rhythm as a compass

Music ended all the rumpus

Wise old Christopher Columbus
