== Lyrics ==
Yakko: Got a tramp steamer, my ship's called "Hal"
Singers: Forty miles on the Panama Canal
Yakko: Got a cargo of sodas, they are low cal
Singers: Forty miles on the Panama Canal
Yakko: 
Sailing 'cross the Caribbean Sea
To the Pacific in a jiffy
Through Panama, but not on land
I'd look silly with my ship in the sand
Singers:
Yo, Hal, try the canal,
Yo, Hal, the canal is your pal!
You can sail a cargo ship from sea to shining sea
Through the Panama Canal for a nominal fee
Yakko: You enter a lock, it's a ship corral
Singers: Forty miles on the Panama Canal
Yakko: You pay your money then get a decal
Singers: Forty miles on the Panama Canal
Yakko:
You cross the locks; they number three
Full of water for you and me
One hundred feet wide, forty-one feet deep
Water enough to drench a sheep
Singers:
High lock, up goes the ship
Low lock, the ship takes a dip
First they raise the water level, then lower it again
'Cross the Panama Canal, it's really zen
Yakko: We pass the locks with good morale
Singers: Forty miles on the Panama Canal
Yakko: The crew yells out...
Singers: Thank you, Hal!
Forty miles on the Panama Canal
Yakko:
You're welcome, men! Wasn't that fun?
Forty miles, our voyage is done
From Colón now past Balboa
Adios, Panama! So long! Aloha!

* The lyrics were written by John P. McCann.
* The Panama Canal is actually fifty miles, not forty.
