Got a trap-steamer, my ship's called HalForty miles on the Panama CanalGot a cargo of sodas, they are lo-calForty miles on the Panama CanalSailing 'cross the Caribbean SeaDo the Pacific in a jiffyPeru, Panama but not on landI'd look silly with my ship in the sandYo Hal, try that canalYo Hal, the canal is your palYou can sail a cargo shipFrom sea to shining seaThrough the Panama Canalfor a nominal feeYou enter a lock, it's a ship coralForty miles on the Panama CanalYou pay your money, then get a decalForty miles on the Panama CanalLetras de cancionesYou cross the locks, they number threeFull of water for you and me100 feet wide, 41 feet deepWater enough to drench a sheepHigh lock, up goes the shipLow lock, the ship takes a dipFirst they raise the water levelThen lower it again'Cross the Panama CanalIt's real easyWe pass the locks, with good moralForty miles on the Panama CanalThe crew yells out, 'Thank you, Hal'Forty Miles on the Panama CanalYou're welcome, menWasn't that funForty miles, our voyage is doneFor I'm full on now past BalboaAdios Panama, so long - aloha
