[Verse 1]
G I was riding on the Mayflower G When I thought I spied some land G I yelled for Captain Arab G I have yuh understand C Who came running to the deck C Said, “Boys, forget the whale G Look on over yonder G Cut the engines, change the sail D Haul on the bowline” D We sang that melody G Like all tough sailors do G | G | % | % | % | When they are far away at sea
[Verse 2]
G “I think I’ll call it America” G I said as we hit land G I took a deep breath G I fell down, I could not stand C Captain Arab he started C Writing up some deeds G He said, “Let’s set up a fort G And start buying the place with beads” D Just then this cop comes down the street D Crazy as a loon G He throws us all in jail G | G | % | % | % | For carryin’ harpoons
[Verse 3]
G Ah me I busted out G Don’t even ask me how G I went to get some help G I walked by a Guernsey cow C Who directed me down C To the Bowery slums G Where people carried signs around G Saying, “Ban the bums” D I jumped right into line D Sayin’, “I hope that I’m not late” G When I realized I hadn’t eaten G | G | % | % | % | For five days straight
[Verse 4]
G I went into a restaurant G Lookin’ for the cook G I told them I was the editor G Of a famous etiquette book C The waitress he was handsome C He wore a powder blue cape G I ordered some suzette, I said G “Could you please make that crepe” D Just then the whole kitchen exploded D From boilin’ fat G Food was flying everywhere G | G | % | % | % | And I left without my hat
[Verse 5]
G Now, I didn’t mean to be nosy G But I went into a bank G To get some bail for Arab G And all the boys back in the tank C They asked me for some collateral C And I pulled down my pants G They threw me in the alley G When up comes this girl from France D Who invited me to her house D I went, but she had a friend G Who knocked me out and robbed my boots G | G | % | % | % | And I was on the street again
[Verse 6]
G Well, I rapped upon a house G With the U.S. flag upon display G I said, “Could you help me out G I got some friends down the way” C The man says, “Get out of here C I’ll tear you limb from limb” G I said, “You know they refused Jesus, too” G He said, “You’re not Him D Get out of here before I break your bones D I ain’t your pop” G I decided to have him arrested G And I went looking for a cop

[Verse 7]
G I ran right outside G And I hopped inside a cab G I went out the other door G This Englishman said, “Fab” C As he saw me leap a hot dog stand C And a chariot that stood G Parked across from a building G Advertising brotherhood D I ran right through the front door D Like a hobo sailor does G But it was just a funeral parlor G | G | % | % | % | And the man asked me who I was
[Verse 8]
G I repeated that my friends G Were all in jail, with a sigh G He gave me his card G He said, “Call me if they die” C I shook his hand and said goodbye C Ran out to the street G When a bowling ball came down the road G And knocked me off my feet D A pay phone was ringing D It just about blew my mind G When I picked it up and said hello G | G | % | % | % | This foot came through the line
[Verse 9]
G Well, by this time I was fed up G At tryin’ to make a stab G At bringin’ back any help G For my friends and Captain Arab C I decided to flip a coin C Like either heads or tails G Would let me know if I should go G Back to ship or back to jail D So I hocked my sailor suit D And I got a coin to flip G It came up tails, it rhymed with sails G | G | % | % | % | So I made it back to the ship
[Verse 10]
G Well, I got back and took G The parkin’ ticket off the mast G I was ripping it to shreds G When this coastguard boat went past C They asked me my name C And I said, “Captain Kidd” G They believed me but G They wanted to know G What exactly that I did D D I said for the Pope of Eruke I was employed G They let me go right away G They were very paranoid

G Well, the last I heard of Arab G He was stuck on a whale G That was married to the deputy G Sheriff of the jail C But the funniest thing was C When I was leavin’ the bay G I saw three ships a-sailin’ G They were all heading my way D I asked the captain what his name was D And how come he didn’t drive a truck G He said his name was Columbus G I just said, “Good luck”
