Lyrics

We take the show to Minnesota / We take the show to Monterey
We fly to Boston on a plane / And we drive to Portland Maine
And we gig along the way

And at the end of each performance / We blow the audience a kiss
And when following the show, they come up to say hello,
Seems it always leads to this:

    Chorus:
    So how's ol' Madison Wisconsin / Is that Paul Soglin still the mayor
    And is Rennebohms expanding / The Club de Wash still there
    I used to sit out on the terrace / And watch my grade point disappear
    For the life of me I don't know / How i wound up here

Now I can see us in the future /we take a boat to Bengal Bay
and from Calcutta on a train/To the himalayan chain
Takes at least another day

We hike for weeks among the foothills/ It feels like 700 miles
We ask a sherpa could you please / Help us carry all our cheese
And he turns around and smiles:

(Chorus)

We leave Mount Everest behind us / We hop a steamer tramp to Perth
Old Australia seems to me/ 's far away as you can be
And remain upon the Earth

But in our Bucky Badger derbies/ as we survey the billibong
We think we're really off the map / 'Til a local sees the cap
And diggery does a little song:

(Chorus)

We leave Australia in a rocket / We hit the moon and take a walk
The craters all are full of guys / With enormous buggy eyes
And they all begin to talk

It sounds like Hey gadeng vadaida / Oh yah gadeng vadeida hey
But we realize pretty soon, They mean welcome to the moon,
Have a beer and by the way:
