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 diplomacy   Christy made history      Mister Christopher Columbus   He used rhythm as a compass   Music ended all the rumpus   Wise old Christopher Columbus
