"Admiral Columbus Sir, the men are weary, on the point
 madness."
"That's the trouble with labor today.  Don't they realise
 we're going to discover the New World?"
"You've been saying that for the last fifty-seven days."
"Well, nobody forced you to come along, Your Magesty."
"My doctor told me I should go to Florida for the winter." 
 I still can't see what you needed three ships for."
"I got a better deal on the fleet rate."
"I'll accept that.   But we better sight land pretty soon.
 There's rumblings of mutiny."
"Really?"
"Yeah, come over here and listen."
"Rumble, rumble, rumble.  Mutiny, mutiny, mutiny."
"Yeah, I see what you mean.  I'll jump up here on the 
 rigging and speak to them."
"You mean on top of everything else, this ship is rigged?"
"Now here this, this is the Admiral speaking.  I know the
 going has been rough, but if we can just hold out a little
 while ..."
"Rumble, rumble."
"Stop that rumbling down there."
"Rumble."
"Who can blame them?  The whole thing is madness.  I don't
 like the way the crew is acting."
"Well, you're overplaying a little bit yourself there."
"I tell you the world is flat, and that's that."
"It's round as your hat."
"It's flat as your head."
"It's round."
"It's flat."

   "It's a round round world,
    it's a round round world.
    I contend it's round
    and it's gonna be found
    when all the results are in,
    it's a round world
    now and it's always been."

   "Flat flat world
    it's a flat flat world.
    I insist it's flat
    as a welcoming mat,
    and he's sailing of the end.
    How about our crazy Italian ..."

                                "Friend,
    get hip,
    would I climb abord this ship
    if I didn't have odds 
    the earth was highly spherical?"

   "It's a miracle
    if it is."

   "Square square king
    you're a square king.
    If you don't believe
    you're gonna receive
    the shock of your royal life
    when the ship pulls in at Miami."

   "Yo ho ho, and a Dramamine,
    we are loyal subjects
    of the King and Queen,
    but what kind of nut 
    would you have to be,
    to borrow a ship and put out to sea
    when you don't know 
    what's on the other side?"

   "All week long on a hard wood bunk.
    Brother who said getting there was half the fun?
    I'd give up my throne for one navy bean.
    No wonder I'm turning three shades of green.
    How could I go on such a lonely ..."

   "Crazy kind of scheme.
    It's a cockamamy dream.
    If we don't sight land
    we're gonna scream."

   "If I didn't have odds 
    the earth was highly spherical?"

   "It's a miracle
    if it is."

   "Yo ho ho, 
    through the wind and rain
    there's a typhoon coming up 
    but where's John Wayne?"

   "I feel like a red witch
    having a wake.
    How much of the ocean bit
    do you think I can take?

   "Square suare crew,
    You're a square square crew
    If you don't beleive
    you're gonna receive
    the shock of your salty lives
    when I take command in the name of ..."

   "Claim that land in the name of ..."
   "Isabella and Ferdinand."
   "That's Ferdinand and Isabella."
   "New rulers of this round
    round world."
   "It's crazy kind of scheme
    it's a cockamamy dream
    but we hope that it's 
    a round round world."

"Well, for all our sakes, I hope ..."
"Land ho!"
<fanfare>
"What was that?"
"French horns."
"No, no.  I mean before that."
"Oh, it was the lookout.  He sighted land."
"Hooray!"
"Quickly, hand me the glass."
"All right."
"No, no!  The other one."
"Oh.  Oh!"
"To the New World."
"Likewise."
