Magical Madcap Tour
You say you get tired of staring at those same four walls.
The world is full of wonders and you want to see them all,
from Albania to Zimbabwe.
You got travel mania! Well, don’t go the hard way!
You’d need a train to catch your plane.
You haven’t packed? You’d better dash!
Before your boat will even float you’ll need a big old heap of
cash!
Instead relax, and stick with me. We’ll do our travelling for
free.
We’ve seven continents to see! On a Magical Madcap Tour...
Book a magical madcap tour
around the world with me.
Book a magical madcap tour
at your library.
Swedish meatballs, Italian ice
Polish sausages, Spanish rice
Such sustenance you'll stir up
On the continent of Europe
I thought they might be upside down
Like dragons dancing through the town
Eastern alphabets will amaze ya
On the contenent of Asia
Chorus
A lion's tongue is pink and wet
But I think you'll find you'd rather let
An elephant or giraffe lick ya
On the continent of Africa
Penguins play on glaciers clear
While the day spins on for half a year
Says sun to sky can't part with ya
On the continent: Antactica
Chorus
My boomarang I thought I threw
Came back to me a kangaroo
If you're not a gent they'll jail ya
On the continent: Austrailia
Life is rich in the brave new West
But mi amigo, I've one request
Stop poking me with Panama
Says South to North America
Chorus
