Let That Be A Lesson To You 1937

Oh! Columbus
was the discoverer
of America,
And he sailed the sea
in fourteen ninety two
but the good Queen Isabella
found a more attractive fella
and Columbus wound up
in the juggeroo!

Oh! Let that be
a lesson to you,
Ev'rybody meets his Waterloo,
he wasn't too big
to end up behind
the eight ball,
and remember buddy,
there is still
a lot of room for you!

Walter Raleigh
met Queen Elizabeth
on a muddy street,
and he wanted to protect
her dainty tread,
so he took his coat and hat off,
but the Queen took more than that off,
now don't get me wrong
she took off Walter's head!

Oh! Let that be
a lesson to you,
Ev'rybody meets his Waterloo,
he wasn't too big
to end up behind
the eight ball,
and remember buddy,
there is still
a lot of room for you!
