lyrics

Travis Hedges was born at sea
In for a life of infamy
To a girl from a dusty market town
In a torn and soiled bridal gown
As the seas leapt up and the waves crashed down

Sought his fortune in London Town
At a trading post of world renown
Sold golden eggs from a market stall
Then journeyed beyond the city's walls and
Founded the town of Bedford Falls

He founded Camden's finest zoo
The sort of thing boys ought to do
And filled it with the wildest beasts
From north and west and south and east
Then set them free on day release

Travis filled a room with balloons
To capture April's fullest moon
He launched a lasso to the night
Brought down the moon with all his might
And locked it up, as was his right

Thought of him the other day
When his oldest foe done passed away
No longer know where he resides
Somewhere out beyond the tides
Take your glasses one and all
A toast to mighty Travis's call
We'll come running when he shouts
And follow him into the mouth
And never ever ever shall we doubt

They say his father a psiren met
And tore his body from his head
But not before the seed was sewn
That made young Travis fully grown
His legend carved in living stone

Travis climbed a mountain high
And poked great Zeus in the eye
Then got drunk on Roman wine
Just to pass the evening time
With Aphrodite's daughters fine
