Christopher Columbus

Mister Christopher Columbus Sailed the sea without a compass When his men began a rumpus Up spoke Christopher Columbus, yes There's land somewhere Until we get there We will not go wrong If we sing, swing a song Since the world is round-o We'll be safe and sound-o 'Till out goal is found-o We'll just keep rhythm bound-o Since the crew ws makin' merry (Mary got up and went home) Then came a yell for Isabel And they brought on the rum and Isabel No more mutiny, no What a time at sea With diplomacy Christopher made history Mister Christopher Columbus He used rhythm as a compass Music ended all the rumpus Wise old Christopher Columbus (Badass sax solo by Gene Sedric) (Badasser Stride Piano solo by Fats Waller) (Wild Trumpet solo by Herman Autrey) Well, looky there! Christy's grabbed the Santa Maria and he's going back! Yeah, ahhh looky-there! In the year 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue... what'd I say?
