In eighteen hundred and ninety four,
in the streets of old Bigotti.
There lived a young Italian lad,
selling hot tomalies.
He said the world was round-o,
he said it could be found-o.
The hypothetical, navigatin’, son-of-a-gun Columbo.The queen she gave him three tall ships,
they all were triple deckers.
The queen she waved her handkerchief,
Columbo waved his ….. (hand)
He said the world was round-o,
he said it could be found-o.
That hypothetical, navigatin’, son-of-a-gun Columbo.His first mate was a cabin boy,
a dirty little nipper.
They lined his bunk with fiberglass,
and did it to the skipper.
He said the world was round-o,
he said it could be found-o.
That hypothetical, navigatin’, son-of-a- (gun) Columbo
