If You Can't Be Columbus
If you can't be Columbus, why be anything at all?
If you can't be Columbus, why be anything at all?
Why don't you sail that ocean blue
And find some land for me and you?
If you can't be Columbus, why be anything at all?
If you can't be Columbus, why be anything at all?
If you can't be Columbus, why be anything at all?
Now all you do is tend them goats.
Why don't you go and get three boats?
If you can't be Columbus, why be anything at all?
Hush now, little baby, don't you cry
Columbus gonna come for you when you die
He will find you, where'er you be
Scoop you up and take you off to sea
You might meet Jesus where you'll be
You might go to heaven, just wait and see
You might go to heaven if things go well,
Or boat'll sink and you'll go straight to hell.
If you can't be Columbus, why be anything at all?
If you can't be Columbus, why be anything at all?
Just let that banner fly unfurled.
We sure could use a brand new world.
If you can't be Columbus why be anything at all?
If you can't be Columbus, why be anything at all?
If you can't be Columbus, why be anything at all?
It must be India we've found,
'cause there's injuns all around.
If you can't be Columbus, why be anything at all?
