We're the Pilgrim Fathers You may have heard ratherA lot 'bout our notions Crossing the oceansOn the good ship MayflowerBut it's true our journey Turned into quite a commotionPeople report that we sported these hatsBut that's not true I mean, would you?Anyway the main thing to sayWe began the USAWith our little band of religion fansFrom the East MidlandsWe all believed slowly That England was becoming less holySo set off for Holland'Cause there we had friends But in the end seemed the Netherlands Would never be the land, we plannedCouldn't stand to remain on that terrainSo again we rearranged To start a new nation with our congregationA new and calmer life Letras de cancionesTook a builder and farmer and his wifeAnd the clerica to find AmericaOh it's a new world! It wasn't new to the natives Still we thought we'd claim it Yeah, it's the new world...I still remember 9th of NovemberThe year 1620 and we saw plenty of landWe thanked God when we found groundI kept calm but it didn't go as plannedCouldn't land on the sand A month later though, we made it New Plymouth, man, we claimed it The natives said not but ran when we shot.Moved there, it proved yeahThat life would be though'Cause we didn't have enough Of the right stuffDid you know had no seeds we could grow Though William Mullins had stacked126 pairs of shoes in his packNow that's wackA fishing rod, a plough A pig, or a cow Would have been a much better ideaBut now there's no food for us to eatDoes this mean that we'll meet with de-feet...! No fun in the new world! I'm glad we've arrived here But will we survive hereYeah, in the new world...People were staving Our numbers halvingWhen the winter winds blewEven fewer live throughIt wasn't pretty in our new cityBut the natives took pity even thoughThey didn't have toMan called TontoTaught us how to grow maizeCatch eel for a meal,Build chopta in the baysTribe gave us a feast Our starvation ceasedIn 1621 what they had doneTurned us back from the deadTo the living and to this dayThat's why we have ThanksgivingIn Massachusetts built a colony it's trueThey say modern America Was founded by our crew It's a new world But we can't call it England Let's call it New EnglandYeah, in the new world...My home was in PlymouthLets call it New PlymouthI got an idea, lets call this New HampshireWait, I'm from NewcastleCan we call it New Newcastle?No...It's a new world From Letras Mania
