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 Since the crew was makin' merry Merry got up and went home 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
