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.
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.

They crossed the Atlantic and spotted a country.
Magellan said,
"It`s the East Indies at last!"
But then someone shouted,
"Hey, that`s Argentina!"
Magellan got cranky and chopped down the mast.

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.

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,
"Hey, that`s Chile!"

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.

It took them five months, but they crossed the Pacific
They spotted a land, that was dotted with palms
Magellan proclaimed,
"Yes! That`s the East Indies!"
But then someone shouted,
"Hey, I think that`s Guam!"

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

They sailed due west
To the Philippine Islands
Magellan was pleased
As the natives drew near
But then someone shouted,
"I think they`re attacking!"
Magellan said, "What?"
And got hit by a spear

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!
