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,
