COLUMBUS SAILED THE OCEAN
("Pop! Goes the Weasel.")
All around the great wide world,
Columbus sailed the ocean
To prove the world was big & round
That's real devotion!

         

*WHEN YOU SAILED OUR WAY
(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.

         

*COLUMBUS DAY
("Mary Had a LIttle Lamb.")
Columbus sailed the ocean blue,
Ocean blue,ocean blue.
Columbus sailed the ocean blue,
In fourteen-ninety-two.
Columbus sailed the ocean blue,
Ocean blue,ocean blue.
I enjoy making discoveries,too.
How about you?

         

*OH, COLUMBUS
("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

(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, China,, orIndia.
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 brances gave thema clue on October twelfth, fourteen ninety-two.

Sway to the music as song is sung.
