(Let me fly, fly, fly stormy water
Let me walk on the bottom of the rollin sea
Let me run, run, run around this great and fertile land
Cos this world aint big enough for me)
Columbus say to the Spanish King
Ill let you in on a mighty fine thing
I aim to prove that the world is round
United States aint never been found
(United States aint never been found)
Now gimme ships, old Columbus say
Ill sail to China the shorter way
The king, he say This world is flat
Sail too far and where you at?
Let me fly, fly, fly stormy water
Let me walk on the bottom of the rollin sea
(Let me run, run, run around this great and fertile land
Cos this world aint big enough for me, oh no)
The world aint big enough for me
Now Queen Isabella, she gave heed
Said Go buy the ships you need
Take my jewels but travel slow
Cos you might fall down to the world below.
(Might fall down to the world below)
Crew was a-yellin Turn back home
We aint ready for the Kingdom Come
Look-out hollered, Land I see,
Why theres the Statue of Liberty
Let me fly, fly, fly stormy water
Let me walk on the bottom of the rollin sea
Oh, let me run, run, run around this great and fertile land
Cos this world aint big enough for me
(Oh no)
The world aint big enough for me
Now all of the Indians come out then
To welcome Chris and the hungry men
Step right up and have a little bite
And the Rotary meets on Monday night
(Rotary meets on a Monday night)
Columbus sailed right home again
Ship load of gold for the Queen of Spain
King, he say, a-kickin at the ground
Always knowd that the world was round
Let me fly, fly, fly stormy water
Let me walk on the bottom of the rollin sea
(Let me run, run, run around this great and fertile land
Cos this world aint big enough for me Oh no)
The world aint big enough for me
The world... Aint big enough...
For me
