[00:04.75]I was riding on the mayflower
[00:07.39]When i thought i spied some land
[00:09.73]
[00:26.69]I was riding on the mayflower
[00:28.72]When i thought i spied some land
[00:31.30]I yelled for Captain Arab
[00:33.61]I have yuh understand
[00:36.14]Who came running to the deck
[00:38.82]Said, “Boys, forget the whale
[00:40.66]Look on over yonder
[00:42.65]Cut the engines
[00:43.81]Change the sail
[00:45.77]Haul on the bowline”
[00:47.73]We sang that melody
[00:49.69]Like all tough sailors do
[00:51.85]When they are far away at sea
[00:56.49]
[00:58.58]“I think I’ll call it America”
[01:02.09]I said as we hit land
[01:03.24]I took a deep breath
[01:05.69]I fell down, I could not stand
[01:08.81]Captain Arab he started
[01:10.57]Writing up some deeds
[01:13.40]He said, “Let’s set up a fort
[01:15.64]And start buying the place with beads”
[01:17.54]Just then this cop comes down the street
[01:19.16]Crazy as a loon
[01:23.37]He throw us all in jail
[01:23.63]For carryin’ harpoons
[01:26.48]
[01:30.13]Ah me I busted out
[01:34.27]Don’t even ask me how
[01:34.97]I went to get some help
[01:38.23]I walked by a Guernsey cow
[01:41.02]Who directed me down
[01:41.88]To the Bowery slums
[01:43.99]Where people carried signs around
[01:47.88]Saying, “Ban the bums”
[01:49.11]I jumped right into line
[01:51.87]Sayin’, “I hope that I’m not late”
[01:54.49]When I realized I hadn’t eaten
[01:55.46]For five days straight
[01:58.59]
[02:02.14]I went into a restaurant
[02:04.45]Lookin’ for the cook
[02:06.78]I told them I was the editor
[02:08.66]Of a famous etiquette book
[02:11.18]The waitress he was handsome
[02:13.13]He wore a powder blue cape
[02:16.38]I ordered some suzette, I said
[02:18.05]“Could you please make that crepe”
[02:22.87]Just then the whole kitchen exploded
[02:23.47]From boilin’ fat
[02:25.28]Food was flying everywhere
[02:27.33]And I left without my hat
[02:29.51]
[02:33.88]Now, I didn’t mean to be nosy
[02:36.02]But I went into a bank
[02:38.41]To get some bail for Arab
[02:40.68]And all the boys back in the tank
[02:44.64]They asked me for some collateral
[02:46.40]And I pulled down my pants
[02:47.54]They threw me in the alley
[02:50.43]When up comes this girl from France
[02:53.30]Who invited me to her house
[02:55.09]I went, but she had a friend
[02:56.73]Who knocked me out
[02:58.93]And robbed my boots
[02:59.40]And I was on the street again
[03:01.19]
[03:06.41]Well, I rapped upon a house
[03:09.08]With the U.S. flag upon display
[03:10.18]I said, “Could you help me out
[03:11.32]I got some friends down the way”
[03:14.78]The man says, “Get out of here
[03:16.86]I’ll tear you limb from limb”
[03:19.23]I said, “You know they refused Jesus, too”
[03:22.09]He said, “You’re not Him
[03:26.41]Get out of here before I break your bones
[03:27.06]I ain’t your pop”
[03:28.45]I decided to have him arrested
[03:31.04]And I went looking for a cop
[03:33.62]
[03:41.82]I ran right outside
[03:44.26]And I hopped inside a cab
[03:47.18]I went out the other door
[03:49.20]This Englishman said, “Fab”
[03:51.18]As he saw me leap a hot dog stand
[03:53.44]And a chariot that stood
[03:56.01]Parked across from a building
[03:58.17]Advertising brotherhood
[04:00.27]I ran right through the front door
[04:02.30]Like a hobo sailor does
[04:04.39]But it was just a funeral parlor
[04:06.58]And the man asked me who I was
[04:09.31]
[04:13.92]I repeated that my friends
[04:17.60]Were all in jail, with a sigh
[04:19.59]He gave me his card
[04:21.37]He said, “Call me if they die”
[04:23.36]I shook his hand and said goodbye
[04:25.96]Ran out to the street
[04:29.24]When a bowling ball came down the road
[04:31.07]And knocked me off my feet
[04:32.68]A pay phone was ringing
[04:35.52]It just about blew my mind
[04:37.55]When I picked it up and said hello
[04:39.12]This foot came through the line
[04:41.07]
[04:47.97]Well, by this time I was fed up
[04:51.94]At tryin’ to make a stab
[04:53.13]At bringin’ back any help
[04:55.97]For my friends and Captain Arab
[04:57.62]I decided to flip a coin
[05:00.88]Like either heads or tails
[05:01.92]Would let me know if I should go
[05:04.17]Back to ship or back to jail
[05:07.36]So I hocked my sailor suit
[05:10.04]And I got a coin to flip
[05:11.20]It came up tails
[05:12.52]It rhymed with sails
[05:13.84]So I made it back to the ship
[05:15.08]
[05:19.64]Well, I got back and took
[05:21.96]The parkin’ ticket off the mast
[05:25.00]I was ripping it to shreds
[05:28.30]When this coastguard boat went past
[05:30.65]They asked me my name
[05:31.93]And I said, “Captain Kidd”
[05:33.64]They believed me but
[05:34.52]They wanted to know
[05:35.35]What exactly that I did
[05:37.28]I said for the Pope of Eruke
[05:40.17]I was employed
[05:42.36]They let me go right away
[05:44.47]They were very paranoid
[05:46.96]
[05:53.39]Well, the last I heard of Arab
[05:55.96]He was stuck on a whale
[05:59.24]That was married to the deputy
[05:59.70]Sheriff of the jail
[06:01.66]But the funniest thing was
[06:03.87]When I was leavin’ the bay
[06:08.16]I saw three ships a-sailin’
[06:08.97]They were all heading my way
[06:12.21]I asked the captain what his name was
[06:13.41]And how come he didn’t drive a truck
[06:15.44]He said his name was Columbus
[06:18.76]I just said, “Good luck”
