There once was an Italian man, Who sailed across to seas. Up and Down the shore line, Searching for opportunity. He came across America, A land so rich and free. He wanted the land to call his own, So he killed a society. Chorus So, Praise Christopher Columbus, The man of the seven seas. He got you this land by stealing it, The home of brave and free. So where did all the Indians go, The millions slaughtered and killed. They stuck them in little tepees, La di da di da di da. Fast forward to 2001, You still praise him so. You built a statue in the middle of New York, It stands 81 feet tall. Chorus So Praise Christopher Columbus, The good man that he was. You have a stupid parade for him, And a day dedicated to his cause. |
