Hi Lars ! I must confess I would never have nominated it except for my Son-In-Law, Tony. He introduced me to it last year. The Lyrics really tickle me - especially when Bob wishes Columbus luck after the bad experiences he has in the U.S. (mainly brought on by his bad behavior while ashore).

When I was leavin' the bay

I saw three ships a-sailin'

They were all heading my way

I asked the captain what his name was

And how come he didn't drive a truck

He said his name was Columbus

I just said, "Good luck."

Goodnight All. :)

This song is about one Captain Arab. :)

....and about Edna too, it seems....:

"Now, I didn't mean to be nosy

But I went into a bank

To get some bail for Arab

And all the boys back in the tank

They asked me for some collateral

And I pulled down my pants

They threw me in the alley

When up comes this girl from France

Who invited me to her house

I went, but she had a friend

Who knocked me out

And robbed my boots

And I was on the street again" :)
