There once was a man,
his name was Magellan,
a Portuguese skipper
the girls found him cutes.

He sailed with five ships,
to find the East Indies.
Then come back to Spain,
with a bounty of loot.

Whoopie ti-yi-yo,
Oh happy Magellan.
Starting your journey,
with hardly a care.

Whoopie ti-yi-yo,
Strong, brave, Magellan.
You'll find East Indies,
you just don't know where.

They crossed the Atlantic
and spotted a country.
Magellan said...
"It's the East Indies, at last!"

but then some one shouted...
"Hey, that's Argentina"
Magellan got cranky
and chopped down the mast.

Whoopie ti-yi-yo,
settle down Maggellan.
Put down that axe,
there's no time to despair.

Whoopie ti-yi-yo,
keep trying Maggellan.
You'll find, East Indies,
you just don't know where.

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...
"Hey! That's Chile"

Whoopie ti-yi-yo,
cheer up, Maggellan.
Check out your map,
and don't tear out of your hair.

Whoopie ti-yi-yo,
keep trying, Maggellan.
You'll find East Indies,
you just don't know where.

It took them five months,
but they crossed the Pacific.
They spotted a land,
that was dotted with palms.

Magellan proclaimed...
"Yes! That's the East Indies!"
But then someone shouted...
"Hey! I think that's Guam"

Ey-yi-yi-yi, opps, Magellan.
Your fun little journey's
become a nightmare.

Whoopie ti-yi-yo,
keep trying, Maggellan.
You'll find East Indies,
you just don't know where.

They sailed due west
to the Philippine Islands.
Magellan was pleased
as the natives drew near.

But then someone shouted...
"I think they're attacking!"
Magellan said... "WHAT!?"
and got hit by a spear.

Whoopie ti-yi-yo,
farewell, Maggellan.
You almost made it,
it's really not fair.
