I was riding on the Mayflower

[Verse 1]
G
I was riding on the Mayflower
G
When I thought I spied some land
G
I yelled for Captain Arab
G
I have yuh understand
C
Who came running to the deck
C
Said, “Boys, forget the whale
G
Look on over yonder
G
Cut the engines, change the sail
D
Haul on the bowline”
D
We sang that melody
G
Like all tough sailors do
G G

When they are far away at sea
[Verse 2]
G
“I think I’ll call it America”
G
I said as we hit land
G
I took a deep breath
G
I fell down, I could not stand
C
Captain Arab he started
C
Writing up some deeds
G
He said, “Let’s set up a fort
G
And start buying the place with beads”
D
Just then this cop comes down the street
D
Crazy as a loon
G
He throws us all in jail
G G
| | % | % | % |
For carryin’ harpoons
[Verse 3]
G
Ah me I busted out
G
Don’t even ask me how
G
I went to get some help
G
I walked by a Guernsey cow
C
Who directed me down
C
To the Bowery slums
G
Where people carried signs around
G
Saying, “Ban the bums”
D
I jumped right into line
D
Sayin’, “I hope that I’m not late”
G
When I realized I hadn’t eaten
G G
| | % | % | % |
For five days straight
[Verse 4]
G
I went into a restaurant
G
Lookin’ for the cook
G
I told them I was the editor
G
Of a famous etiquette book
C
The waitress he was handsome
C
He wore a powder blue cape
G
I ordered some suzette, I said
G
“Could you please make that crepe”
D
Just then the whole kitchen exploded
D
From boilin’ fat
G
Food was flying everywhere
G G
| | % | % | % |
And I left without my hat
[Verse 5]
G
Now, I didn’t mean to be nosy
G
But I went into a bank
G
To get some bail for Arab
G
And all the boys back in the tank
C
They asked me for some collateral
C
And I pulled down my pants
G
They threw me in the alley
G
When up comes this girl from France
D
Who invited me to her house
D
I went, but she had a friend
G
Who knocked me out and robbed my boots
G G
| | % | % | % |
And I was on the street again
[Verse 6]
G
Well, I rapped upon a house
G
With the U.S. flag upon display
G
I said, “Could you help me out
G
I got some friends down the way”
C
The man says, “Get out of here
C
I’ll tear you limb from limb”
G
I said, “You know they refused Jesus, too”
G
He said, “You’re not Him
D
Get out of here before I break your bones
D
I ain’t your pop”
G
I decided to have him arrested
G
And I went looking for a cop
[Interlude]

[Verse 7]
G
I ran right outside
G
And I hopped inside a cab
G
I went out the other door
G
This Englishman said, “Fab”
C
As he saw me leap a hot dog stand
C
And a chariot that stood
G
Parked across from a building
G
Advertising brotherhood
D
I ran right through the front door
D
Like a hobo sailor does
G
But it was just a funeral parlor
G G
| | % | % | % |
And the man asked me who I was
[Verse 8]
G
I repeated that my friends
G
Were all in jail, with a sigh
G
He gave me his card
G
He said, “Call me if they die”
C
I shook his hand and said goodbye
C
Ran out to the street
G
When a bowling ball came down the road
G
And knocked me off my feet
D
A pay phone was ringing
D
It just about blew my mind
G
When I picked it up and said hello
G G

This foot came through the line
[Verse 9]
G
Well, by this time I was fed up
G
At tryin’ to make a stab
G
At bringin’ back any help
G
For my friends and Captain Arab
C
I decided to flip a coin
C
Like either heads or tails
G
Would let me know if I should go
G
Back to ship or back to jail
D
So I hocked my sailor suit
D
And I got a coin to flip
G
It came up tails, it rhymed with sails
G G
| | % | % | % |
So I made it back to the ship
[Verse 10]
G
Well, I got back and took
G
The parkin’ ticket off the mast
G
I was ripping it to shreds
G
When this coastguard boat went past
C
They asked me my name
C
And I said, “Captain Kidd”
G
They believed me but
G
They wanted to know
G
What exactly that I did
D D
I said for the Pope of Eruke I was employed
G
They let me go right away
G
They were very paranoid
[Interlude]

[Verse 11]
G
Well, the last I heard of Arab
G
He was stuck on a whale
G
That was married to the deputy
G
Sheriff of the jail
C
But the funniest thing was
C
When I was leavin’ the bay
G
I saw three ships a-sailin’
G
They were all heading my way
D
I asked the captain what his name was
D
And how come he didn’t drive a truck
G
He said his name was Columbus
G
I just said, “Good luck”
[Outro]
