Misto Cristo Cristofo Columbo
went for a boat ride one fine day.
On his day off travelled such a way off
He found the U.S. A. Ohhh!
Misto Cristo Cristofo Columbo
Thought the world was round ohh!
Presto, west-o sailed the man Columbo.
He found the U.S.A.
Took him ages, cost a lot o’wages,
Then from the sea there rose a hill.
Though we fly now, landing from the sky now,
We get the same old thrill. Ohh!
Misto Cristo Cristofo Columbo
Thought the world was round ohh!
Presto, west-o sailed the man Columbo.
He found the U.S.A.
Isabella really liked this fella,
Pawned her best fur coat
To buy the boy a boat!
Ohh!
Misto Cristo Cristofo Columbo
Thought the world was round ohh!
Presto, west-o sailed the man Columbo.
He found the U.S.A.
Sailed the Niña, Pinta and Marìa,
Figured to stop and load some freight;
But where the ground was
All he found was real nifty real estate. Ohhh!
Misto Cristo Cristofo Columbo
Thought the world was round ohh!
Presto, west-o sailed the man Columbo.
He found the U.S.A.
Roughed it, bluffed it, first he thought he’d muffed it
‘Cause all he found was ground unplowed
So he hoed some, later on there growed
Some buildings tall and proud ohh!
Misto Cristo Cristofo Columbo
Thought the world was round ohh!
Presto, west-o sailed the man Columbo.
He found the U.S.A.
When he docked here
Almost no one flocked here.
Now it’s more alive.
Just try a Sunday drive! Ohh!
Misto Cristo Cristofo Columbo
Really pulled his oar. Glad he got here,
Now we have a spot here known as Freedom Shore.
Where the helpless homeless open up freedom’s door!
