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
