I was riding on the mayflower

C
Who came running to the deck
said, "Boys, forget the whale

Look on over yonder, cut the engines,
change the sail

Haul on the bowline", we sang that melody
G
Like all tough sailors do
when they're far away at sea

"I think I'll call it America,"
I said said as we hit land
I took a deep breath,
I fell down, I could not stand
C
Captain Arab he started
writing up some deeds
G
He said, "Let's set up a fort
and start buyin' a place with beads"
D
Just then this cop comes down the street,
crazy as a loon
G
He throws us all in jail for carrying harpoons

Verse 3
G
Ah, me I busted out, don't even ask me how
I went to get some help,
I walked by a Guernsey cow

G
Where people carried signs around
sayin', "Ban the bums"

I jumped right into line sayin'
"I hope that I'm not late"

When I realized I hadn't eaten
for five days straight

I went into a restaurant looking for the cook
I told him I was the editor
of a famous etiquette book
C
The waitress he was handsome,
he wore a powder blue cape

I ordered some Suzette,
I said "could you please make that Crepe?"
D
Just then the whole kitchen
exploded from boilin' fat
G
Food was flyin' everywhere,
I left without my hat
G
G
Verse 5
G
Now, I didn't mean to be nosy
but I went into a bank
To get some bail for Arab
and all the boys back in the tank
C
They asked me for some collateral
and I pulled down my pants
G
They threw me in the alley
when up comes this girl from France

Who invited me to her house,
I went but she had a friend

Who knocked me out and robbed my boots
and I was on the street again

Verse 6
G
Well, I rapped upon a house
with the U.S. flag upon display
I said, "Could you help me out,
I got some friends down the way"
C
"The man says, "Get out of here,
I'll tear you limb from limb"
G
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too",
he said, "You're not Him
D
Get out of here before I break your bones,
I ain't your pop"

I decided to have him arrested

Verse 7
G
I ran right outside, I hopped inside a cab
I went out the other door,
this Englishman said, "Fab"
C
As he saw me leap a hot dog stand
and a chariot that stood
G
Parked across
from a building advertising brotherhood
D
I ran right through the front door
like a hobo sailor does
G
But it was just a funeral parlor
and the man asked me who I was
G
G
Verse 8
G
I repeated that my friends
were all in jail with a sigh
He gave me his card,
he said, "Call me if they die"
C
I shook his hand and said goodbye,
ran out to the street
G
When a bowling ball came down the road
and knocked me off my feet
D
A pay phone was ringing
and it just about blew my mind
G
When I picked it up and said hello,
this foot came through the line
G
G
G
Verse 9
G
Well, by this time I's fed up
at tryin' to make a stab
At bringing back any help
for my friends and Captain Arab
C
I decided to flip a coin
like either heads or tails
G
Would let me know if
I should go back to ship or back to jail
D
So I hocked my sailor suit
and I got a coin to flip
G
It came up tails, it rhymed with sails,
so I made it back to the ship
G
G
Verse 10
G
Well, I got back and took the parking ticket
off the mast
I was ripping it to shreds
when this coastguard boat went past
C
They asked me my name
and I said, "Captain Kidd"
G
They believed me but they wanted to know
what exactly that I did
D
I said for the Pope of Eruke I was employed
G
They let me go right away,
they were very paranoid
G
G
G
Verse 11
G
Well, the last I heard of Arab,
he was stuck on a whale
That was married
to the deputy sheriff of the jail
C
But the funniest thing was
when I was leavin' the bay
G
I saw three ships sailin' there,
were all heading my way
D
I asked the captain what his name was
and how come he didn't drive a truck
G
He said his name was Columbus,
I just said, "Good luck"
