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
yw+d : whoopie ti-yi-yo
oh happy magellan
starting your journey
with hardly a care
whoopie 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
mglln: 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
yw+d : whoopie ti-yi-yo
settle down, magellan
put down that axe
there's no time to despair
whoopie 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!
yw+d : whoopie ti-yi-yo
cheer up, magellan
check out your map
and don't tear out your hair
whoopie 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
mglln: yes! that's the east indies!
yakko: but then someone shouted
wakko: hey, i think that's guam!
yw+d : ay-yi-yi-yi
oops, magellan
your fun little journey's
become a nightmare
whoopie 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 pleased
as the natives drew near
but then someone shouted
yw+d : i think they're attacking!
yakko: magellan said...
mglln: ...what?
yakko: and got hit by a spear
yw+d : whoopie ti-yi-yo
farewell, magellan
you almost made it
it's really not fair
whoopie ti-yi-yo
oh, ghost of magellan
the east indies islands
were right over there.
