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 diplomacy

Christy made history

Mister Christopher Columbus

He used rhythm as a compass

Music ended all the rumpus

Wise old Christopher Columbus
