the nina, the pinta, the santa maria - fred macmurray lyrics

[bill, spoken]
what do you think you’re doing? uh, stop.

[benito]
why should we stop?
what’s eating you, you crackpot?
when we’re about to cash in on the jackpot?

[bill]
when all the world is vocal
this is my point of view:
i’d feel just like a yokel
if i didn’t sing along, too

[sailors]
what is there to do
but hear the fellow through?

[bill]
this trouble you’re brewing
you should be undoing
you fellows don’t get the idea
the future you’re failing
if you don’t keep sailing
the nina, the pinta, the santa maria
you’re just being dumb to
not know that you’ll come to
a land that’s the world’s panacea (hmm!)
no laurels you’ll rest on
if you don’t keep west on
the nina, the pinta, the santa maria

[sailors]
the nina, the pinta, the santa maria
let’s not argue with him
we like the waltz rhythm
the nina, the pinta, the santa maria

[bill]
what traffic terrific
from maine to pacific
what hustle and bustle you’ll see*ah
what rivers, what valleys
if n0body dallies
on nina and pinta and santa maria

the girls are breathtaking
what claims you’ll be staking
so he’s barking up the wrong tree*ah
what pictures you’ll pin up
if you keep your chin up
on nina and pinta and santa maria
[sailors]
if we keep our chin up
what pictures we’ll pin up
on nina and pinta and santa maria

[sailors applaud.]

[bill]
there’ll be forty*eight states and a hundred and thirty*five million residents
and george washington will be the first of many presidents
there’ll be cities like chicago, new york, new haven, and hartford
and minneapolis
not to mention hollywood, the global cinematrapolis
and, oh, my hearties
what fun and what parties:
the democratic party and the g.o.p.
the prohibition party and the boston tea

what a wonderful land in which to be living
where you celebrate the fourth of july, st. patrick’s day, and thanksgiving
and if you want an extra day off
what you’re doing to columbus is away off
for the man you want to betray
can give you not only columbus circle and columbus, ohio
but also columbus day
so think twice, my friends, before you doubt columbus
just imagine what happens to posterity without columbus:
no new york for fiorello
no abbott for costello
no automat nickels
no heinz and his pickles
no land of the brave and the free*ah
just think what you’re losing
if west you’re not cruising
the nina, the pinta, the santa maria

no radio city
and who’ll feed the kitty
at belmont park and hialeah?
but you’ll be unveiling
the new world by sailing
the nina, the pinta, the santa maria

[sailors]
you’ve certainly sold us
on all you have told us
it’s more than romantic
across the atlantic
the new world we’re failing
if we don’t keep sailing
the nina, the pinta, the santa maria!
