Here's the two DT references above, cited in Waltz's Ballad Index entry:

CHRISTOFO COLUMBO

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBO

Here's my transcription of an uncredited version on YouTube, [Christopher Columbo (bawdy song)] - Plain White Label - Party Record

(spoken) Talking about Italy, their grand, old songs... did you ever hear about the grand old man of Italy, old Columbus? Boy, what a man, with his cock hanging down to his knees out in the ocean breeze, he sailed that broad Atlantic. Boy, what a man was he. Well here's about the ocean voyage that old Columbus undertook. When men were men, women were women, on the high, high, seas

Now in Fourteen hundred and ninety two
A wop came from Italio
Walked down the streets of Spain, but hey
Yelling "hot tamale-os!"

CHORUS
Columbo, Columbo
He thought the world was round-o
Ah, there's high-fanatical, geographical
Sonofabitch, Columbo

He ups into the Queen of Spain
And he asks for ships and cargo
And he swore he'd be a sonofabitch
If he didn't bring back Chicago

"Well, Columbus," she says, the Queen
"Uh -- you've asked for things a-plenty
Now, you've asked for cargo ships and men
But son, what about the women?"

CHORUS

Now for weeks and months and months and weeks
They sailed the broad Atlantic
And for a piece of poon-tang
Heh, that whole damn crew went frantic

The skipper came on deck one day
His cock was like a mast fold
He grabbed the first mate round the neck
And shoved it up his asshole

CHORUS

Why, the skipper's wife come on deck one day
A-selling shirts and collars
Ah, but with her cunt-- yeah, in five minutes
She made five thousand dollars

Now there was a monkey on this deck
This monkey's name was Jumbo
He cornholed everything on deck
And even, too, Columbo

And then they saw some Indian gals
As they started in swimming
Columbus yelled "We won't have to jack off
Cause here comes the women!"

CHORUS (x2)
