In 1492 I was terrified<\/p>\n
Kept thinking the Atlantic Ocean had no \u2018other side\u2019<\/p>\n
But then I got 3 wooden ships from the King and Queen of Spain<\/p>\n
And I sailed off, found America and made it home again!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And now I\u2019m back!\u00a0\u00a0 From my big trip!<\/p>\n
Brought coffee, fags, potatoes and diseases in my super ship<\/p>\n
The natives started out quite friendly \u2013 they were clever, strong and brave.<\/p>\n
Then they tried to kick us out, so now we\u2019re treating them like slaves!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Columbus \u2013 me! I am the guy<\/p>\n
Who wants to sail into the unknown ocean? I\u2019ll give it a try!<\/p>\n
I took a compass and a quadrant and I sailed for 70 days<\/p>\n
And when I finally arrived, I had found the USA!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And now I\u2019m back!\u00a0From my big trip!<\/p>\n
Brought coffee, fags, potatoes and diseases in my super ship<\/p>\n
For this, I\u2019m famous round the world but my bubble\u2019s just been burst<\/p>\n
They say a Viking called Leif Erikson reached the US first!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With the help of my superior navigation<\/p>\n
And the Far East as my aim and destination<\/p>\n
I was searching for a new route to buy jewels, silk and spice<\/p>\n
Europeans would get richer, and I\u2019d get paid \u2013 hey nice!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Why did you act so tough Columbus? You might wonder<\/p>\n
But you don\u2019t get the kind of pressure we were under<\/p>\n
The Portuguese, the Dutch and British were all trying to explore<\/p>\n
But thanks to me the Spanish crown was the first to step ashore!<\/p>\n
