Original subtitles

[SINGING] 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 foot

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.

YAKKO: 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 ax 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 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

[GRUNTS]

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.

YAKKO: 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
