We'd go on road trips & me &my mom had the whole record memorized & that's all the entertainment we needed. No music, to videos....just us clowning around with Stan's unique & priceless comedy!!!

Only took it as far as Columbus meeting with the Indians, but we got some real howls from the Student and Faculty. A Great memory prompted by a request by my Brother who played an Indian and who wanted to know the words again.

It's always a pleasure when someone says "What was that?", and you respond "French horns," and they give you the knowing grin. Should be required listening for every 10th grader - especially the bit about the "Un-British Activities Committee, that's who!"

STAN FREBERG was such an inspiration to me as a young boy with dreams of becoming a disc jockey and, ultimately, a commercial and record producer. I LOVED this album, and listened to it, in its entirety, SCORES of times in the early 60's. The writing, acting, singing, production.....and even audio quality.....were all, in a word, IMPECCABLE, especially considering that this was produced in 1961! RIP STAN FEREBERG.....

I got this when it came out in 1961. I think I had somehow heard his "Elvis" record, which cracked me up. So I had my mom buy this for me when I saw it in a record store. And I played it until I memorized the damn thing. Freberg was amazingly creative and funny. Glad to find it here so I can continue to enjoy it.

Columbus: Friend Get hip, would I climb aboard this ship If I didn't have odds the Earth was highly spherical? Ferdinand: It's a miracle If it is Columbus: Square, square king You're a square, square king If you don't believe You're gonna receive The shock of your royal life When the ship pulls in at Miami Crew: Yo ho ho and a Dramamine We are loyal subjects of the king and queen But what kind of nut would you have to be To borrow a ship and put out to sea When you don't know what's on the other side? Columbus: Round, round world It's a round, round world I contend it's round And it's gonna be found When all the results are in It's a round world now And it's always Ferdinand: All week long on a hardtack bun Brother, who said getting there is Half the fun? Give up my throne for one navy bean No wonder I'm turning three shades green How could I go on such a loony Columbus: Trip, get hip, would I climb Aboard this ship If I didn't have odds The Earth was highly spherical? Ferdinand: It's a miracle if it is Crew: Crazy kind of scheme It's a cockamamie dream If we don't sight land we're gonna scream Columbus: Square, square crew You're a square, square crew If you don't believe Crew: Yo ho ho through the wind and rain There's a typhoon coming up But where's John Wayne? Columbus: You're gonna receive The shock of your salty lives When I take command in the name of Ferdinand: I feel like a red witch Having a wake How much of the ocean bit do you think I can take, claim that land in the name of Columbus: Isabella and Ferdinand Ferdinand: That's Ferdinand and Isabella Columbus and Ferdinand: New rulers of this round, round world Crew: Crazy kind of scheme It's a cockamamie dream But we hope it's a round, round world ----- 12:00 Columbus: Round, round world It's a newfound world And the land looks good Like a continent should Complete with a flag unfurled Indians: Yo ho ho and a buckskin sleeve Now the white man's here, I guess It's time to leave But why go to war and fight like a jerk? Perhaps we can pick up some kind of work In an Indian extravaganza Wyatt Earp or Bonanza Columbus: Please don't call us, we'll call you Ferdinand: Step aside, pal, meet the new Columbus and Ferdinand: Big cheeses of this round, round world lyrics.wikia.com/wiki/Stan_Freberg:Columbus_Discovers_America:_It's_A_Round,_Round_World
