It seems as good a day as any To start my trek across the ocean With no funds for ship or sail I'll use my legs and my devotion. An aqua bike will be my vessel And high adventure the land I seek So farewell friends who've come to gather Waving hankies, tear on cheek, oh... It's a long long way to go on a pedalo, a pedalo... It's a long long way to go on a pedalo, a pedalo...
My joy was surging, spirit soaring The sky was huge, the sea was placid But soon my vim was somewhat dimmed By bucketloads of lactic acid. And then a ship took me aboard Was full of whiskey and hearty sailors I rested up, then pedaled onwards Once I found out they were whalers It's a long long way to go on a pedalo, a pedalo... It's a long long way to go on a pedalo, a pedalo...
I saw a mermaid, thwarted pirates Wrestled sea squids, this and more But as I ponder that horizon I fancy someone moved the shore, Oh, Hope can come, and hope can go But for the most part seems to go But still I huff, and still I puff On my yellow pedalo It's a long long way to go on a pedalo, a pedalo... It's a long long way to go on a pedalo, a pedalo... It's a long long way to go on a pedalo, a pedalo... It's a long long way to go on a pedalo, a pedalo...
It's a long long way to go It's a long long way to go It's a long long way to go
