lyrics

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 it 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.
