Lyr Add: Mad Magazine- Christopher Columbus

I remember this one from about 1966...

I had a notion to cross an ocean that I'd never crossed before
I was expecting that China I'd reach-
Now something tells me- I've hit the wrong beach
No tea is sold here, there ain't no gold here
Just __________ and __________ galore-
How could I do it, I really blew it
When I reached the New World shore!

I believe that Columbus and his crew brought the disease (e.g. smallpox) more so than found it.

I had a notion to cross the ocean
That I never crossed before
I thought for certain that Asia I'd reach
Now something tells me I hit the wrong beach
No silks are sold here
There ain't no gold here
Just rain and disease galore
Why did I do it
I really blew it
When I reached the New World Shore

Here are the actual lyrics. Sung to the tune of "I'm looking over a four leaf clover".
I had a notion to cross an ocean
That I never crossed before.
I thought for certain that Asia I'd reach
Now something tells me I've hit the wrong beach.
No silks are sold here
There ain't no gold here
Just rain and disease galore
Why did I do it
I really blew it
When I reached the New World shore.
