Dinah Washington — Christopher Columbus

Mr. Christopher Columbus Sailed the sea without a compass Well, when his men began a rumpus Up spoke Christopher Columbus He said, "There is land somewhere So until we get there we will not go wrong If we sing a swing song Since the world is round we'll be safe and sound 'Till our goal is found we'll just keep the rhythm bound" Soon the crew was makin' merry Then came a yell, let's drink to Isabella Bring on the rum A music in that all the rumpus A wise old Christopher Columbus Soon the crew was makin' merry and Mary got mad Then came a yell, let's drink to Isabel So bring on the rum A music in that all of the rumpus A wise old Christopher Columbus Christopher Columbus Christopher Columbus
