Neil Armstrong went up to the moon one fine day
And Byrd flew right over the Pole
James Cook was the guy who turned scurvy away
For De Anza, L.A. was the goal
Eric the Red went to Greenland, it's said
Flinders found Tasmania an isle
Gagarin was first to fly space overhead
And Hillary topped Everest with a smile
The alphabet could be explored, right through it
To Zhang Quian, who went to the Steppes
But none with more courage than the poor substitute
Who into a new classroom schleps
The substitute teacher – explorer for sure!
As courageous as Clark or Da Gama
For the natives encountered on that cote d' azure
Will soon have you crying for Mama
