[Verse 1]
Columbus discovered America when he was sailing the blue
He's landed down in the Islands back in 1492
Somebody shouted, "Land ho," oh, what a happy crew
That's just the way I felt when I discovered you

[Chorus]
I discovered you, paradise in a girl
I discovered you (I discovered you), and found a brand new world
I found sugar and spice, I found everything nice
And best of all you loved me too
I'm a lucky man, I discovered you

[Verse 2]
Way out in California back in '49
Lying there in a stream bed, oh, how that gold did shine
Somebody shouted, "Eureka," all of my troubles are through
That's just the way I felt when I discovered you

[Chorus]
I discovered you, paradise in a girl
I discovered you (I discovered you), and found a brand new world
I found sugar and spice, I found everything nice
And best of all you loved me too
I'm a lucky man, I discovered you
I discovered you, paradise in a girl
I discovered you (I discovered you), and found a brand new world
I found sugar and spice, I found everything nice
And best of all–
