Christopher Columbus-Guy Mitchell
Let me fly, fly, fly stormy water
Let me walk on the bottom of the rollin' sea
Let me run, run, run around
this great and fertile land
'Cos this world ain't big enough for me
Columbus say to the Spanish King
"I'll let you in on a mighty fine thing
I aim to prove that the world is round
United States ain't never been found."
United States ain't never been found
"Now gimme ships," old Columbus say
"I'll sail to China the shorter way"
The king, he say "This world is flat,
Sail too far and where you at?"
Oh, let me fly, fly, fly stormy water
Let me walk on the bottom of the rollin' sea
Let me run, run, run around
this great and fertile land
Cos this world ain't big enough for me, oh no
The world ain't big enough for me
Now Queen Isabella, she gave heed
Said "Go buy the ships you need
Take my jewels but travel slow
'Cos you might fall down to the world below."
Might fall down to the world below
Crew was a-yellin' "Turn back home
We ain't ready for the Kingdom Come"
Look-out hollered, "Land I see,
Why there's the Statue of Liberty"
Oh, let me fly, fly,
fly stormy water
Let me walk on the bottom of the rollin' sea
Oh, let me run, run, run around
this great and fertile land
'Cos this world ain't big enough for me
Oh no
The world ain't big enough for me
Now all of the Indians come out then
To welcome Chris and the hungry men
"Step right up and have a little bite
And the Rotary meets on Monday night"
Rotary meets on a Monday night
Columbus sailed right home again
Ship load of gold for the Queen of Spain
King, he say, a-kickin' at the ground
"Always know'd that the world was round"
Oh,let me fly, fly, fly stormy water

Let me walk on the bottom of the rollin' sea
Let me run, run,
run around this great and fertile land
Cos this world ain't big enough for me Oh no
The world ain't big enough for me.
The world....
Ain't big enough.
For me
