- 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.
- The Warners:
- Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, oh, happy Magellan!
- Starting your journey with hardly a care!
- Whoopi-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…
- Magellan:
- 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.
- The Warners:
- Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, settle down, Magellan.
- Put down that ax! There’s no time to despair.
- Whoopi-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!
- The Warners:
- Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, cheer up, Magellan.
- Check out your map and don’t tear out your hair!
- Whoopi-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…
- Magellan:
- Yes! That’s the East Indies!
- Yakko:
- But then someone shouted…
- Wakko:
- Hey, I think that’s Guam!
- The Warners:
- Ai yi yi yi, oops, Magellan!
- Your fun little journey’s become a nightmare!
- Whoopi-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…
- The Warners:
- I think they’re attacking!
- Yakko:
- Magellan said…
- Magellan:
- What?
- Yakko:
- And got hit by a spear.
- The Warners:
- Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, farewell, Magellan!
- You almost made it! It’s really not fair!
- Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, oh, ghost of Magellan,
- The East Indies Islands were right over there!
