Let me fly,
fly, fly in stormy water
Let me walk on the bottom
of the rolling sea
Let me run, run, run around
this great infernal land
Cause 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, oh
Columbus say,
I'll sail to China in a shorter way,
King he say, this world is flat,
Sail to foreign war you add,
Oh let me fly, fly, fly the stormy water,
Let me walk on the bottom
of the rolling sea
Let me run, run around
this great infernal land
Cause 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
Cause 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
but there's the Statue of Liberty.
Oh, let me fly, fly, fly the stormy water.
Let me walk on the bottom
of the rolling sea.
Oh, let me run, run, run around
this great and fertile land,
because the world ain't
big enough for me.
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 sail right home again,
ship load of gold for the Queen of Spain,
king he say you're kicking
at the ground,
always know that the world was round.
Oh, let me fly, fly, fly the stormy water
Let me walk on the bottom
of the rolling sea
Let me run, run, run around
this great and fertile land
Cause this world ain't big
enough for me, no, no!
The world ain't big enough for me.
The world ain't big enough for me!
