(sung to the tune of 'Turkey in the Straw')
Columbus thought he knew that the world was round
So he sailed off in a ship, and this is what he found
He thought he was in India, you see
So he called the birds turkeys, though Turkey isn't here!
Oh, Turkey in the straw La la la
Turkey in the straw La la la
I don't know ask your mother-in-law
Something bout a turkey in the straw
You know, India, Turkey, they're both in Asia... I'm sure we Westerners were always getting the two confused! Even though Columbus being Italian would have known Turkey much better than most Westerners! Maybe that's why we call them turkeys... makes sense to me!
God loves you!
Sincerely.
