Lyrics

Cortez, he was a pirate
Just like Christopher Columbus
He liked discovery
He was no friend of mine
Henry The Navigator
A friend of Vasco da Gama
He loved geography
He was no friend of mine
He was no friend of mine
He was no friend of mine
He was no friend of mine
He was no friend of mine
He was no friend of mine
He was no friend of mine
He was no friend of mine
Christopher Columbus
Santa Maria, Nina, Pinta
Discovered America
They were no friend of mine
They were no friend of mine
They were no friend of mine
He was no friend of mine
He was no friend of mine
Queen Victoria, she built an empire
She loved to colonize
She was no friend of mine
She was no friend of mine
She was no friend of mine
She was no friend of mine
She was no friend of mine
Vasco da Gama
Was no friend of mine
Vasco da Gama
Was no friend of mine
Vasco da Gama
Was no friend of mine
Vasco da Gama
Was no friend of mine
Vasco da Gama
Was no friend of mine
Vasco da Gama
Was no friend of mine
