I was[G] riding[C/g] on the [G]Mayflower

When I thought I spied some land

I yelled for Captain Arab

I have yuh understand

Who came[C] running to the deck

Said, "Boys, forget the whale

[G]Look on over yonder

Cut the engine, change the sail

[D]Haul on the bowline"

We sang that melody

Like[G] all tough sailors do

When they are far away at sea

"I [G]think I'll[C/g] call it A[G]merica"

I said as we hit land

I took a deep breath

I fell down, I could not stand

[C]Captain Arab he started

Writing up some deeds

He said, "[G]Let's set up a fort

And start buying the place with beads"

Just[D] then this cop comes down the street

Crazy as a loon

He [G]throw us all in jail

For carryin' harpoons

Ah[G] me I[C/g] busted[G] out

Don't even ask me how

I went to get some help

I walked by a Guernsey cow

Who[C] directed me down

To the Bowery slums

Where [G]people carried signs around

Saying, "Ban the bums"

I jumped[D] right into line

Sayin', "I hope that I'm not late"

When I[G] realized I hadn't eaten

For five days straight

I[G] went in[C/g]to a [G]restaurant

Lookin' for the cook

I told them I was the editor

Of a famous etiquette book

The[C] waiter he was handsome

He wore a powder blue cape

I[G] ordered some suzette, I said

"Could you please make that crepe"

Just[D] then the whole kitchen exploded

From boilin' fat

[G]Food was flying everywhere

And I left without my hat

Now, I [G]didn't[C/g] mean to be[G] nosy

But I went into a bank

To get some bail for Arab

And all the boys back in the tank

They[C] asked me for some collateral

And I pulled down my pants

They[G] threw me in the alley

When up comes this girl from France

Who in[D]vited me to her house

I went, but she had a friend

Who[G] knocked me out and robbed my boots

And I was on the street again

Well, I[G] rapped u[C/g]pon a[G] house

With the U.S. flag upon display

I said, "Could you help me out

I got some friends down the way"

The [C]man says, "Get out of here

I'll tear you limb from limb"

I said, "[G]You know they refused Jesus, too"

He said, "You're not Him

Get[D] out of here before I break your bones

I ain't your pop"

I de[G]cided to have him arrested

And I went looking for a cop

[G]I ran[C/g] right out[G]side

And I hopped inside a cab

I went out the other door

This Englishman said, "Fab"

As he[C] saw me leap a hot dog stand

And a chariot that stood

[G]Parked across from a building

Advertising brotherhood

I[D] ran right through the front door

Like a hobo sailor does

But it was[G] just a funeral parlor

And the man asked me who I was

I[G] repeated [C/g]that my [G]friends

Were all in jail, with a sigh

He gave me his card

He said, "Call me if they die"

I[C] shook his hand and said goodbye

Ran out to the street

When a [G]bowling ball came down the road

And knocked me off my feet

A[D] pay phone was ringing

It just about blew my mind

When I[G] picked it up and said hello

This foot came through the line

Well,by [G]this time [C/g]I was[G] fed up

At tryin' to make a stab

At bringin' back any help

For my friends and Captain Arab

I de[C]cided to nip a coin

Like either heads or tails

Would[G] let me know if I should go

Back to ship or back to jail

So I[D] hocked my sailor suit

And I got a coin to flip

It[G] came up tails it rhymed with sails

So I made it back to the ship

Well,[G] I got[C/g] back and[G] took

The parkin' ticket off the mast

I was ripping it to shreds

When this coastguard boat went past

[C]They asked me my name

And I said, "Captain Kidd"

They be[G]lieved me but

They wanted to know

What exactly that I did

I [D]said for the Pope of Eruke

I was employed

They[G] let me go right away

They were very paranoid

Well, the[G] last I[C/g] heard of A[G]rab

He was stuck on a whale

That was married to the deputy

Sheriff of the jail

But the[C] funniest thing was

When I was leavin' the bay

I [G]saw three ships a-sailin'

They were all heading my way

I[D] asked the captain what his name was

And how come he didn't drive a truck

He[G] said his name was Columbus

I just said, "Good luck."
