I’ve got a Brand New Land to Find

SUMMARY:

Famous Devon explorers Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh sing about their great explorations across the seas, and John Davis tries to sing about his time in the Falkland Islands and, err… penguins.

Song from Series 7 Episode 2: Exceptional Explorers

Parody of 'The Combine Harvester' by The Wurzels

LYRICS:

I sailed right round the globe and saw many a sight. Ooh arr, ooh arr!

I attacked Spanish ports to show Queen Liz’s might. Ooh arr, ooh arr!

I sailed right back to England with treasure in the hold. Ooh arr, ooh arr!

Spanish says I’s a pirate, but I still got all their gold!

 

Now I’ve got a brand new land to find and you could come with me

We’re going to make all our fortunes, when we cross the sea.

You can get a knighthood, and I’ll get more wealthy!

Oh, I’ve got a brand new land to find, just don’t get dysentery.

 

I explored the New World and set up colonies. Ooh arr, ooh arr!

Brought back potatoes, but not the coconut. (That was me) Ooh arr, ooh arr!

He fought in the Armada and flirted with his Queen. Ooh arr, ooh arr!

Now I’ll find El Dorado, be the richest man ever seen!

 

Now I’ve got a brand new land to find, so why don’t you come with me?

We’re going to make all our fortunes, when we cross the sea.

You can get a knighthood, and I’ll get more wealthy!

But don’t forget to bring your sword, ‘cos nothing comes for free.

 

I saw the Falklands and discovered some penguins. Ooh arr, ooh arr…
