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...
在脚踏船上将有一段很长很长的路要走


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

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
