Magical Madcap Tour

from Take Me To Your Library by Monty Harper

lyrics

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 traveling 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.
Those alphabets will amaze ya
on the continent of Asia.

Book a magical madcap tour
around the world with me.
Book a magical madcap tour
at your library.

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, Antarctica.

Book a magical madcap tour
around the world with me.
Book a magical madcap tour
at your library.

My boomerang I thought I threw.
Came back to me a kangaroo.
If you’re not a gent, they’ll jail ya
on the continent, Australia.

"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.

Book a magical madcap tour
around the world with me.
Book a magical madcap tour
at your library.
