"Columbus discovered a part of the world never before seen by Europe. He thought he landed in the Indies, but really he found a new, New World. One, two, three - repeat after me…"

Lyrics:

Columbus first discovered
An island, it's true
He named it San Salvador
in 1492

Chorus
New, New World
New, New World
Yes, Columbus discovered
A brand new world
New, New World
New, New World
Yes, Columbus discovered
A brand New World

He thought it was the Indies
Named the people Indians
but a new world was discovered
'round the globe that ever spins
(repeat chorus)
(instrumental solo)
(repeat chorus)

Columbus' first voyage
To lands so new
Like the country of Cuba
Hispaniola, too
(repeat chorus)
