Once upon a time I had this idea

That the world was round like me

So I asked the queen for three fine ships

To sail across the sea



Traveling with hoodlums as my crewman

Made me quite a little scared

Luckily I found that in the new world

Somebody was already there



I wasn't very sure just what to call them

See the funny clothes they wear

So I called them Indians

'Cause I knew they were already there
