Way back in 1492
All the people thought the world was flat
But young Columbus simply disagreed
The earth was round, he was sure of that.

Way back in 1492
The queen of Spain gave him three strong ships.
He headed West on the ocean blue,
In search of the Indies and a treasure or two.

Sail away Christopher Columbus
Sail away on the deep blue sea
Sail away Christopher Columbus
On the Nina and the Pinta and the Santa Maria
Look what you have found!

Sail away Christopher Columbus
It's a new world big and round.

Sail away!
