Mr. Christopher Columbus - October 12th 1492

[Eyeball]

By Andy Razaf

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
