lyrics

After we’d left the Galapagos Isles’ wildlife to its own devices
We set sail in our survey ship once more to where a distant shore entices
The isle of Tahiti was our next call of duty, with its forests and famous black beaches
And I went to see the sights from the rather dizzy heights that its Mount Orohena reaches
And I said, “What a truly magnificent idyllic view!
I’d yllic in it
Would you care to yllic too?
And how about you?”
Would you care to yllic too?
‘Cause I’d yllic with you.

The islands of New Zealand had their own appeal and the native Maori were charming
The landscape was amazing, fields ideal for grazing, I’d recommend more cattle farming
Next Australia beckoned – more bizarre than I’d reckoned – with its wildlife was quite extraordinary
The kangaroo, emu and platypus displaying habits and traits quite contrary
And I said “What a truly magnificent idyllic place!
I’d yllic in it
And so should all of the human race.”
And how about you?
Would you care to yllic too?
‘Cause I’d yllic with you.

The island of Keeling was yet more revealing, providing me with information
Which informed my beliefs about coral reefs, which have since seen widespread publication
We stopped by Mauritius, its rum was delicious
Our last stop in Cape Town was flighty
And after four years, ten months and eight days, we returned to the shores of old Blighty
And I said, “What a truly magnificent idyllic land!
I’d yllic in it
Would you yllic in it with me hand in hand?”
And how about you?
Would you care to yllic too?
‘Cause I’d yllic with you.”
(etc.)
