I was riding on the Mayflower

When I thought I spied some land

I was riding on the Mayflower

When I thought I spied some land

I yelled for Captain Arab

I have yuh understand

Who came running to the deck

Said Boys forget the whale

Look on over yonder

Cut the engines

Change the sail

Haul on the bowline

We sang that melody

Like all tough sailors do

When they are far away at sea

I think I'll call it America

I said as we hit land

I took a deep breath

I fell down I could not stand

Captain Arab he started

Writing up some deeds

He said Let's set up a fort

And start buying the place with beads

Just then this cop comes down the street

Crazy as a loon

He throw us all in jail

For carrying harpoons

Ah me I busted out

Don't even ask me how

I went to get some help

But I walked by a Guernsey cow

Who directed me down

To the Bowery slums

Where people carried signs around

Saying Ban the bums

I jumped right into line

Sayin I hope that I'm not late

When I realized I hadn't eaten

For five days straight

I went into a restaurant

Lookin for the cook

I told them I was the editor

Of a famous etiquette book

The waitress he was handsome

He wore a powder blue cape

I ordered some suzette that I said

Could you please make that crepe

Just then the whole kitchen exploded

From boilin fat

Food was flying everywhere

And I left without my hat

Now I didn't mean to be nosy

But I went into a bank

To get some bail for Arab

And all the boys back in the tank

They asked me for some collateral

And I pulled down my pants

They threw me in the alley

When up comes this girl from France

Who invited me to her house

I went but she had a friend

Who knocked me out

And robbed my boots

And I was on the street again

Well I rapped upon a house

With the US flag upon display

I said Could you help me out

I got some friends down the way

The man says Get out of here

I'll tear you limb from limb

I said You know they refused Jesus too

He said You're not Him

Get out of here before I break your bones

I ain't your pop

I decided to have him arrested

And I went looking for a cop

I ran right outside

And I hopped inside a cab

I went out the other door

This Englishman said Fab

As he saw me leap a hot dog stand

And a chariot that stood

Parked across from a building

Advertising brotherhood

I ran right through the front door

Like a hobo sailor does

But it was just a funeral parlor

And the man asked me who I was

I repeated that my friends

Were all in jail with a sigh

He gave me his card

He said Call me if they die

I shook his hand and said goodbye

Ran out to the street

When a bowling ball came down the road

And knocked me off my feet

A pay phone was ringing

It just about blew my mind

When I picked it up and said hello

This foot came through the line

Well by this time I was fed up

At trying to make a stab

At bringing back any help

For my friends and Captain Arab

I decided to flip a coin

Like either heads or tails

Would let me know but I should go

Back to ship or back to tail

So I hocked my sailor suit

And I got a coin to flip

It came up tails

It rhymed with sails

So I made it back to the ship

Well I got back and took

The parking ticket off the mast

I was ripping it to shreds

When this coastguard boat went past

They asked me my name

And I said Captain Kidd

They believed me but

They wanted to know

What exactly that I did

I said for the Pope of Eruke

I was employed

They let me go right away

They were very paranoid

Well the last I heard of Arab

He was stuck on a whale

That was married to the deputy

Sheriff of the jail

But the funniest thing was

When I was leaving the bay

I saw three ships a sailin

They were all heading my way

I asked the captain what his name was

And how come he didn't drive a truck

He said his name was Columbus

I just said Good luck
