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...      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...
