| Lyrics: | In fourteen hundred ninety two, three ships set out to sea: the Nina and the Pinta and the SANTA MARIE! And as they sailed the stormy seas On that historic day From way up in the crow's nest, You could hear Luigi say ... Chorus: (strong italian accent) PUH-leeeZUH Meester Columbus, Turnah da SHEEP around! Take-UH me back, I WANNA see my two feet on the GROUND! Why-yuh tell-uh Eeezabella Thatta the world is round? PULEEEZUH Meester Columbus Turn-uh da SHEEP around! Then Chris took out his mandolin and he began to play. They sang and danced the Tarantell until the break of day. They ate up all the provolone - that's Italian cheese. But still up in the crow's nest you could hear Luigi's pleas ... (Chorus) And then one day they sighted land just off the starboard bow. Columbus said "I told ya so. The journey's over now." An Indian girl upon the shore yelled "I see you up there, man!" Luigi shouted back, "Ahoy" and started on a plan. (Repeat Chorus) Oh please Mr. Columbus don't take me back no more. I wanna stay right here and make the chief my father-in-law. I'm glad you told Isabella that the world was round. I don't know where we are but there's pisanos all around. |
Mr. Columbus, Turn the Ship Around Song
