This isn't meant to replace any aforethought ideas

I think I have cracked the lyrics to this song!
I don't know why, but I am very excited about it...
No clue what the name of the jig is, but it's cool, by Rockapella
My research is backed in libretto format in italics to the side...
My ode to taking a break from school work

I Can ride the 1 up to Yonkers, *A real bus line to Yonkers I New York*
Sun on a yacht on the Yangtze, *River in China-Longest in Asia*
I can feel the breeze off the Mississippi
You only mean everythng to me.

Spinning over Chad in a chopper,
Boogie-woogie in a blimp over Bombay,
Take a batobus through the Gulf to Yucatan. *Batobus is a water bus*
You only mean everything to me.

I could thumb around Thargomindah in the middle of the winter *an Australian artesian well*
(marsupials bedding down)
Do the Louvre in a minute-get a poster in the giftshop
(Mona Lisa gets shrunken down)
Take a suite in Topeka with spiders on the ceiling
I never know what you're feeling
What poisonous fruit you're peeling
What miracle cure you've found

I could ride into Cannes in a tux on a Clydesdale, * city off coast in France*
Bareback on a pack mule to Greece,
I could walk a high wire 'tween the world trade towers.
L
only mean everything to me.

Gonna saddle up a manatee and dive for gefiltas *I am not sure about this one, some fish figures? in a story book*
(funny white blob gonna drown) *the moral of the story?? Have to read five little gefiltas…?*
Parachute into paranoia with your mama's dishes
(you better go underground)
Hang-glide on the Hudson with nothing but an Aspirin.
You better know what I'm feeling
What dinosaur's doing your dealing
What kinda hog's in your ground.

Rip the conch from the shell do the Junkanoo Party in Bahama*Junkanoo on the net is indeed a Bahama thing*
(back-to-back)
And they were singing (back-to-back)
They said it was nothing (yeah) but a zombie jamboree yeah
Gonna give a Bronx Cheer with an eggcream moustache. *A Razberry, any phrase in disgust…*
You only mean everything to me.
Gonna give a hot towel to a humble visitor.
You only mean everything to me
