Version 2 of the lyrics
1	I was riding on the Mayflower when I thought I spied some land						I was riding on the Mayflower	1
2	I yelled for to Captain Arab, I'll have ya understand						When I thought I spotted some land	2
3	Who came running to the deck, said, "Boys, forget the whale						I yelled for Captain Arab	3
4	We're goin' over yonder, cut the engines, change the sails"						I have yuh understand	4
5	'Haul on that bowline' we sang that melody						Who came running to the deck	5
6	Like all tough sailors do when they're far away at sea						Said, "Boys, forget the whale	6
7							Look on over yonder	7
8	"I think I'll call it America." I said as we hit land						Cut the engines	8
9	I took a deep breath, I fell down, I could not stand						Change the sail	9
10	Captain Arab, he starting writing out some deeds						Haul on the bowline"	10
11	He said, "Let's set up a fort and start buying the place with beads"						We sang that melody	11
12	Just then a cop come down the street crazy as a loon						Like all tough sailors do	12
13	And throws us all in jail for carryin' harpoons						When they are far away at sea.	13
1								1
14	Aw, me, I busted out, don't even ask me how						"I think I'll call it America"	14
15	I went to get some help, I walked by a Guernsey cow						I said as we hit land	15
16	Who directed me down to the Bowery slums						I took a deep breath	16
17	Where people carried signs around sayin' 'Ban the bums'						I fell down, I could not stand	17
18	I jumped right in line, sayin', "I hope that I'm not late"						Captain Arab he started	18
19	When I realized I hadn't eaten for five days straight						Writing up some deeds	19
20							He said, "Let's set up a fort	20
21	I went into a restaurant lookin' for the cook						And start buying                              the place with beads"	21
22	I told him I was the editor of a famous etiquette book						Just then this cop comes	22
23	The waitress he was handsome, he wore a powder blue cape						down the street	23
24	I ordered up some suzette, I said, "Could you please make that crepe?"						Crazy as a loon	24
25	Just then the whole kitchen exploded from boiling fat						He throw us all in jail	25
26	Food was flyin' everywhere,I left without my hat						For carryin' harpoons.	26
2								2
27	Now     I didn't mean to be nosey but I went into a bank						Ah me I busted out	27
28	To get some bail for Arab and all the boys back in the tank						Don't even ask me how	28
29	They asked me for some collateral and I pulled down my pants						I went to get some help	29
30	They threw me in the alley, when up comes this girl from France						I walked by a Guernsey cow	30
31	Who invited me to her house, I went, but she had a friend						Who directed me down	31
32	Who knocked me out an' robbed my boots an' was I on the street again						To                                                            the Bowery slums	32
33							Where people carried signs around	33
34	Well Iarrived upon a house with a U.S. flag upon display						Saying, "Ban the bums"	34
35	I said, "Could you help me out? I got some friends down the way"						I jumped right into line	35
36	The man says, "Get out of here, I'll tear you limb from limb"						Sayin' "I hope that I'm not late"	36
37	I said "You know, they refused Jesus, too." He said "You're not him						When I realized I hadn't eaten	37
38	Get out of here before I break your bones, I ain't your pop"						For five days straight.	38
3	I decided to have him arrested and I went looking for a cop							3
39							I went into a restaurant	39
40	I ran right outside and hopped inside a cab						Lookin' for the cook	40
41	I went out         the other door, this English man said "Fab!"						I told him I was the editor	41
42	As he saw me leap a hotdog stand and a chariot that stood						Of                    a famous etiquette book	42
43	Parked across from a building advertising brotherhood						The waitress he was handsome	43
44	I ran right through the front door like a hobo sailor does						He wore                                         a powder blue cape	44
45	But it was just a funeral parlor and the man asked me who I was						I ordered some suzette, I said	45
46							"Could you please make that crepe"	46
47	I repeated that my friends were all in jail, with a sigh						Just then the whole kitchen exploded	47
48	He gave me his card, he said, "Call me if they die"						From boilin' fat	48
49	I shook his hand and said goodbye, ran out to the street						Food was flying anywhere	49
50	When a bowling ball came down the road and knocked me off my feet						I left without                                                     my hat.	50
4	A pay phone was ringin' and it just about blew my mind							4
51	When I picked it up an' said "Hello", this foot came through the line						Now, I didn't mean to be nosy	51
52							But I went into a bank	52
53	Well about this time I was fed up at trying to make a stab						To get some bail for Arab	53
54	At bringin'            back any help for my friends and Captain Arab						And all the boys back in the tank	54
55	I decided to flip a coin, like either heads or tails						They asked me for some collateral	55
56	Would let me know if I should go back to ship or back to jail						And                    I pulled down my pants	56
57	So I hocked my sailor's suit an' I got a coin to flip						They threw me in the alley	57
58	It came up tails, it rhymed with sails, so I made it back to the ship						When       up comes this girl from France	58
59							Who invited me to her house	59
60	Well I got back and took the parking ticket off the mast						I went, but she had a friend	60
61	I was ripping it to shreds when this Coast Guard boat went past						Who knocked me out	61
62	They asked me my name and I said, "Captain Kidd"						And robbed     my boots	62
63	They believed me but they wanted to know exactly that I did						And                                                           I was on the street again.	63
5	I said, "For the Pope of Eyruke I was employed"							5
64	They let me go right away, they were very paranoid						Well, I rapped upon a house	64
65							With the US flag upon display	65
66	Well the last I heard of Arab he was stuck on the whale						I said, "Could you help me out	66
67	That was married to       the Deputy Sheriff of the jail						I got some friends down the way	67
68	But the funniest thing was when I was leavin' the bay						" The man says, "Get out of here	68
69	I saw three ships sailing, they were all heading my way						I'll tear you limb from limb"	69
70	So I asked the Captain what his name was						I said, "You know they	70
71	An' how come he didn't drive a truck?						refused Jesus, too"	71
	He said his name was Columbus an' I just said, "Good luck"						He said, "You're not Him
1							Get out of here before I	1
2							break your bones	2
3							I ain't your pop"	3
4							I decided to have him arrested	4
5							And I went lookin for a cop.	5

71							He said his name was Columbus	71
72							I just said, "Good luck".	72
