In 1492, three ships sailed out to sea, The Nene, and the Pinta, and the Santa Marie,And as they sailed the stormy sea on that historic day,From way up in the crow's nest you could hear Luigi say,Polizia, Mr. Columbus, turn the ship around, Take me back, I want to feel my two feet on the ground,Why you tell Isabella that the world is round, Polizia, Mr. Columbus, turn the ship around.A-a-a-a-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, a-a-a-a-a-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.But Christ took out his mandolin and he began to play, They sang and danced a-da-***-*** until the break of day,They ate up all the prove-a-lone and drank up all the wine, But still up in the crow's nest you could hear Luigi cryin',Polizin' Mr. Columbus, turnin' the ship around, Take me back, I wanna feel my two feet on the ground,Why you tell it Isabella, that the world is round, Polizin' Mr. Columbus, turnin' the ship around, a-a-a-a-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.And then one day they sighted land just off the starboard bow, Columbus said, I told you so, the journey's over now,An Indian shouted from the shore, a-mortar, the Nubians say, bah, Luigi turned around and said, egu's a-pura d'aleana,Polizin' Mr. Columbus, don't take me back no more, I'm gonna stay right here and make the chief my father-in-law,I'm glad you tell Isabella that the world is round, I don't know where we are, but there's Poisoners all around.
