Yakko:

There once was a man

His name was Magellan

A Portuguese skipper

The girls found him handsome

He sailed with five ships

To find the East Indies

Then come back to Spain

With a bounty of loot

YW+D :

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

Yakko:

They crossed the Atlantic

And spotted a country

Magellan said

Mglln: 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

YW+D :

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

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!

YW+D :

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

Yakko:

It took them five months

But they crossed the Pacific

They spotted a land

That was dotted with palms

Magellan proclaimed

Mglln: Yes! That's the East Indies!

Yakko: But then someone shouted

Wakko: Hey, I think that's Guam!

YW+D :

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

Yakko:

They sailed due west

To the Philippine Islands

Magellan was pleased

As the natives drew near

But then someone shouted

YW+D : I think they're attacking!

Yakko: Magellan said...

Mglln: ...What?

Yakko: And got hit by a spear

YW+D : 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.
