I've Been Everywhere Lyrics

Well, I've been ev'rywhere.

I was drivin' my minimotor way down by the sea
When a scruffy-lookin' hitchhiker thumbed a lift from
me.
I said, "Hop up inside, boy. Where you plan to go from
there?"
He says, "I don't give a continental cuddle boy,'cause
I've been ev'rywhere."

[Speeding up:]
One, two, one two three four.

CHORUS:
I've been ev'rywhere, man.
I've been ev'rywhere, man.
Never a trouble or care, man.
I've never paid me fare, man,
And of travel I've had me share, man.
I've been ev'rywhere.

Been to Bradford, Guildford, Doxford, Littlehampton,
Bedford, Chingford, Hereford, Wolverhampton,
Shrewsbury, Canterbury, Aylesbury, Liverpool,
