[Verse 1]
The great nations of Europe had gathered on the shore
They'd conquered what was behind them and now they wanted more
So they looked to the mighty ocean and took to the western sea
The great nations of Europe in the sixteenth century
[Chorus]
Hide your wives and daughters
Hide the groceries too
Great nations of Europe coming through
[Verse 2]
The Grand Canary Islands, first land to which they came
They slaughtered all the canaries there which gave the land its name
There were natives there called Guanches, Guanches by the score
Bullets, disease, the Portuguese, they weren't there anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Now they're gone, they're gone, they're really gone
You never seen anyone so gone
They're a picture in a museum, some lines written in a book
But you won't find a live one no matter where you look
[Chorus]
Hide your wives and daughters
Hide the groceries too
Great nations of Europe coming through
The great nations of Europe had gathered on the shore
They'd conquered what was behind them and now they wanted more
So they looked to the mighty ocean and took to the western sea
The great nations of Europe in the sixteenth century
[Chorus]
Hide your wives and daughters
Hide the groceries too
Great nations of Europe coming through
[Verse 2]
The Grand Canary Islands, first land to which they came
They slaughtered all the canaries there which gave the land its name
There were natives there called Guanches, Guanches by the score
Bullets, disease, the Portuguese, they weren't there anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Now they're gone, they're gone, they're really gone
You never seen anyone so gone
They're a picture in a museum, some lines written in a book
But you won't find a live one no matter where you look
[Chorus]
Hide your wives and daughters
Hide the groceries too
Great nations of Europe coming through
