Animaniacs - The Ballad of Magellan lyrics
[Animaniacs - The Ballad of Magellan lyrics]
Yakko:
There once was a man, his name was Magellan
A Portuguese skipper
The girls found him cute
He sailed with five ships to
Find the East Indies
Then come back to Spain with a bounty of loot
The Warners:
Whoopi-ti-yi yo, oh, happy Magellan!
Starting your journey with hardly a care!
Whoopi-ti-yi yo, strong, brave Magellan
You'll find the East Indies
You just don't know where!
Yakko: They crossed the Atlantic and
Spotted a country magellan said
Magellan: It's the East Indies at last!
Yakko: But then someone shouted
Wakko: Hey, that's Argentina!
Yakko:
Magellan got cranky and chopped down the mast
The Warners:
Whoopi-ti-yi yo, settle down, Magellan
Put down that axe! There's no time to despair
Whoopi-ti-yi yo, keep trying, Magellan
You'll find the East Indies
You just don't know where!
Yakko:
A great storm arose in the mighty Pacific
The five little ships were
Diminished to three
At last, land was sighted magellan was happy
But then someone shouted
Dot: Hey, that's Chile!
The Warners:
Whoopi-ti-yi yo, cheer up, Magellan
Check out your map and don't
Tear out your hair!
Whoopi-ti-yi yo, keep trying, Magellan
You'll find the East Indies
You just don't know where!
Yakko: It took them five months
But they crossed the Pacific
They spotted a land that
Was dotted with palms magellan proclaimed
Magellan: Yes! That's the East Indies!
Yakko: But then someone shouted
Wakko: Hey, I think that's Guam!
The Warners: Ai yi yi yi, oops, Magellan!
Your fun little journey's become a nightmare!
Whoopi-ti-yi yo, keep trying, Magellan
You'll find the East Indies
You just don't know where!
Yakko: They sailed due west to
The Philippine Islands magellan was please
D as the natives drew near
But then someone shouted
The Warners: I think they're attacking!
Yakko: Magellan said
Magellan: What?
Yakko: And got hit by a spear
The Warners:
Whoopi-ti-yi yo, farewell, Magellan!
You almost made it! It's really not fair!
Whoopi-ti-yi yo, oh, ghost of Magellan
The East Indies Islands were
Right over there!
There once was a man, his name was Magellan
A Portuguese skipper
The girls found him cute
He sailed with five ships to
Find the East Indies
Then come back to Spain with a bounty of loot
The Warners:
Whoopi-ti-yi yo, oh, happy Magellan!
Starting your journey with hardly a care!
Whoopi-ti-yi yo, strong, brave Magellan
You'll find the East Indies
You just don't know where!
