Christopher Columbus
Composer(s): Chuck Berry - Andy Razaf
Performer(s): Andy Kirk



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
