"Sail on, Santa Maria!" Do you remember?
Barely
We've fought a war since then
And I might've been the worst aide-de-camp the U.S. Army has ever known
But damn if I wasn't the finest Christopher Columbus
To ever lead a kick line at Princeton!
Remember, John?
"We've run aground in Haiti
I've looked around; I hate it
I know the weather's nice, but let's move on
So, climb aboard, first matey
There's the water, navigate it!
Tell the Nina and the Pinta
That by morning we'll be gone!
Sail on, Santa Maria!
Over the ocean blue!
Sail on, Santa Maria!
There's a new world waiting for you!
The fates may conspire to make us fail
But as long as this ship has a sail
We will sail!"
Bravo, Columbus
Now get off my desk
"Sail on, Santa Maria!"
Sing along, John!
You know this!
I really don't
I saw you in the back of the theatre
Mouthing it every damn night!
"There's a new world waiting for you!"
Go!
"The fates may conspire to make us fail
But as long as this ship has a sail
We will sail!
We will sail!
Yes, as long as this ship has a sail
We will sail"
And my big death scene!
Denny!
"I've caught the influenza
From the natives' halitosis
I sense my time on Earth and sea has come
I'll play my last cadenza
Say my final adioses
It's where you're sailing to that counts
Not where you're sailing from
So
"Sail on, Santa Maria!
Over the ocean blue!"
She's a good ship, she is!
"Sail on, Santa Maria!
There's a new world waiting for you!
The fates may conspire to make us fail
But as long as this ship has a sail
We will sail!
We will sail!
We will travel through every travail!
Tell the postman to forward my mail!
Yes, as long as this ship has a sail!
We will sail!"
"Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!
Sail!"
