Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sing a song, yes, a travel song, when ya gotta go somewhere
'Cause the fun is getting there, yeah, oh, what the heck?
I must confess I love a road trip
[Verse 2]
Sing a song, hit the trail, forget the maps, forget the guides
Before ya know it, you've made strides with me
And I know all I need all along is a path, and a pal, and a song
So I'm singin' and I'm pallin' with you, see?
Makes the time go by faster
[Verse 3]
Why me?
Why me? (This is nice)
Tell me what was my crime? (We are strolling)
As chatty as a parrot, more annoying than a mime
(Hey, look, a cat who's wearin' boots, that's crazy!)
[Verse 4]
Why me?
Why me?
A simple answer would be fine (Mmm, this is good cardio)
Won't someone please send me a sign?
(Hey, look, a sign, Yunita Pal Avenue straight ahead)
[Verse 5]
What did I do to deserve this?
Honestly, this ass o' mine is asinine, by me
[Verse 6]
Oh man, what could be better than this?
Why me? (Sing a song)
Why me? (Hit the road)
A simple answer would be fine (It's the way to get around)
Won't someone please send me a sign?
(Before ya know it you've gained ground with me)
[Verse 7]
What did I do to deserve this? (And I know all I need all along)
Honestly (Is a path and a pal and a song)
This ass o' mine (So I'm singin')
Is asinine (And I'm palling)
With you (That'll do, Donkey, that'll do)
