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
