Columbus'
First Voyage
to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb"
Columbus sailed the ocean blue,
Ocean blue, ocean blue.
Columbus sailed the ocean blue
In 1492.
He sailed west to reach the east,
reach the east, reach the east,
He sailed west to reach the east
In 1492.
Asian shores he never reached,
Never reached, never reached,
Asian shores he never reached,
In 1492.
Instead, a whole new land he found,
Land he found, land he found,
Instead, a whole new land he found,
In 1492.
Columbus
Sailed the Ocean Blue
to the tune of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm"
Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492.
Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492.
With three tall ships, 120 men,
sailing on, sailing on, sailing on, on, on, on --
Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492.
He proved the earth was round, not flat, in 1492.
He proved the earth was round, not flat, in 1492.

Sail
Your Ship
to the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat."
Sail, sail, sail your ship.
Sail it night and day.
Look for land, look for land
All along the way.
Columbus
to the tune of
Eeensy-weensy
Spider
Columbus was a sailor who thought the world was round,
He asked for ships but many turned him down.
He went to ask the King and Queen of Spain,
And he told them of the gold and the spices they would gain.
He had
to wait six years for the king and queen to say,
We'll give you ships so you can sail away.
It was the year of 1492
When Columbus sailed from Spain with his tough and able crew.
They
sailed upon the ships out of sight of any land
Things didn't go exactly as they'd planned.
They begged Columbus to turn and head for home.
But Columbus urged them onward across the sea and foam.
On
October the 12th in 1492
A sailor sighted land and yelled it to the crew!
Columbus went ashore and claimed the land for Spain.
He was thankful that his voyage had not been made in vain
Days
of the Week
to the tune of "The Addams Family"
Days of the
week (snap, snap) Days of the week (snap, snap)
Days of the week, Days of the week, Days of the week (snap, snap).
There's Sunday and there's Monday There's Tuesday and there's Wednesday
There's Thursday and there's Friday And then there's Saturday.
Days of the week (snap, snap) Days of the week (snap, snap) Days of the
week, days of the week Days of the week (snap, snap)
When
you sailed our way
to the tune of
"Sailing, Sailing."
Columbus, Columbus, sailed across the sea,
And found a very special land
That belongs to you & me.
Columbus, Columbus, we celebrate your day,
In fourteen hundred & ninety-two
When you sailed our way.
Oh,
Columbus
to the tune "Oh, My Darling Clementine."
Oh, Columbus; oh, Columbus,
Sailed the ocean wide & blue.
He landed in America,
In fourteen ninety-two.
Pinta,
Nina, and Santa Maria
to the tune
"Here we go round the mulberry bush"
I saw three ships come sailing by, come sailing by, come sailing.
The Pinta, Nina, and Santa Maria to find Japan or China
Who's in the three ships sailing by, sailing by, sailing by?
Some hundred sailors making a fuss and their fearless leader, Columbus.
I saw three ships sight the land, sight the land, sight the land.
Birds and branches gave them a clue on October twelfth, fourteen
ninety-two.
Sway to the music as song is sung.
