Horrible Histories Pilgrim Rap
with the pilgrim faters
you have heard rather
alot 'bout our notions
crossing the oceans
on the good ship made flour
but its true our journey
turned into quite a commotion
people report that we sported these hats
but thats not true i mean would you?
anyway the main thing to say
we began the U S A
with our little band of religion fans
from the east midlands
we all believed slowly
that england was becoming less holy
so set up for holland
'cus there we had friends
but in the end seemed the neverlands
would never be the land, we planned
couldn't stand to remain on that terange
so again we rearranged
to start a new nation with our congregation
a new and calmer life took a builder and farmer and his wife
and neclerica to find america
oh 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 november
the year 1620 and we saw plenty of land
we thanked god when we found ground
i kept calm but it didn't go as planned
couldn'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 yeah
that life would be though
'cus we didn't have enough
of the right stuff
did you know had no seeds we could grow
though william mullins had stacked
126 pairs of shoes in his pack
now that's wack
a fishing rod,a plough,
a pig, or a cow
would have been a much better idea
but now theres no food for us to eat
does this mean that with de feet!
no fun in the new world
i'm glad we've arrived here
but will we survive here
yeah, in the new world
people were staving
our numbers halving
and when the winter winds blew
even fewer liver through
it wasn't pretty in our new city
but the natives took pity even though
they didn't have to
man cought swon toes
taught us how to grow maze
caught gill for meal bill
chopped up in the baze
try gave us a feast
a starvation sieze
in 1621 what they had done
turned us back from the dead
to the living and to this day
thats why we have thanks-giving
in masatusits built a coleny it's true
they say modern america was founed by our crew
it's a new world
but we can't call it england
lets call it new england
yeah, in the world
my home was in plymouth
lets call it new plymouth
i got an idea lets call this new hampshire
wait i'm from newcastle
can we call it new newcastle?
nah!
it's a new world
