I should have figured you were associated with the party records page, John. It's too 'you' not to have been! Anyhow, here's my transcription of the Christopher Columbo #2 recording which you linked above. It's very, very close to the lyrics of the other recording.

(spoken) Strike up the band.
(spoken) Up your ass, Butch
(spoken) Fuck you, you sonofabitch.
(spoken) What the hell is this?

In Fourteen Hundred and Ninety Two
A dago from Italio
Walked down the streets of Spain by day
Yelling hot tamalio

CHORUS
Columbo, Columbo
He thought the world was round-o
That high fanatical, geographical
Son-of-a-bitch Columbo

He went unto the queen of Spain
He asked for ships and cargo
Swore he'd be a sonofabitch
If he didn't bring back Chicago

Queen Anne, she says, "Columbus dear
"Please, now, don't get frantic
But what will you do for poon-tang
When you sail the broad Atlantic?"

CHORUS

For weeks and months and months and weeks
They sailed the broad Atlantic
And for a piece of poon-tang
That whole damn crew was frantic.

The skipper came on deck one day
His prick was like a mastpole
He grabbed a sailor round the neck
And he shoved it up his asshole

CHORUS

The skipper's wife come on deck one day
Selling shirts and collars
But with her cunt in just five minutes
He made five thousand dollars

There was a monkey on this deck
This monkey's name was Jumbo
He grabbed Columbus by the neck
And threw it up his asshole

CHORUS (x2)
