It seems as good a day as anyTo 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...
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...
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...
