In fourteen hundred and ninety-two,
Somebody sailed the ocean blue,
Somebody borrowed the fare in Spain
For a business trip on the bounding main,
And to prove to people, by actual test,
You could get to the East by traveling West,
Somebody said, Sail on! Sail on!
And studied China and China's lingo,
And cried from the bow, There's China now!
And promptly bumped into Santo Domingo,
Somebody murmured, Oh dear, Oh dear,
I've discovered the Western Hemisphere.
