Trip to Canada

A most charming family
Three kids, mama, papa
Left one fine day from Nantes
To visit Canada
Finalizing their itinerary
After a lot of thinking
They chose, oddly
These means of transport
So that prior to leaving
They sang for fun...
 
We'll go to Toronto by car
We'll go to Montreal on horseback
We'll cross Quebec City on foot
We'll go to Ottawa by guagua¹
We'll go to Valleyfield on a tightrope
We'll go to Trois-Rivieres in a litter
Pass by Chicoutimi asleep
We'll go to Lake St-Jean by swimming
There it is, there's a wonderful trip, a wonderful trip
There it is, there's a wonderful trip to Canada
 
Yes but sometimes it's strange
We don't always do what we want
Very often luck changes
Our most well laid plans
Our friends were, unluckily
Victims of a distraction
Of the agency office head
Of means of transportation
And because of an employee
Who mixed up the tickets
 
They went to Toronto by swimming
They went to Montreal asleep
They went to Quebec City in a litter
They went to Ottawa on a tightrope
They went to Valleyfield by foot
They went to Trois-Riviere by guagua
Pass through Chicoutimi on horseback
They plunged into Lake St Jean by car
There it is, there's a wonderful trip, a wonderful trip
There it is, there's a wonderful trip to Canada
 
Since that time, ladies and gentlemen
The travellers came to understand
In order to avoid drama
One must at any cost
Double-check with the agencies
The transportation tickets
If you leave for vacation
The simplest of precautions
Is to sing my little song
My little itinerary song
1, 2
We'll go to Toronto by car
We'll go to Montreal on horseback
We'll cross Quebec City by foot
We'll go to Ottawa by guagua
We'll go to Valleyfield on a tightrope
We'll go to Trois-Rivieres in a litter
Pass Chicoutimi asleep
We'll go to Lake St-Jean by swimming
There it is, there's a wonderful trip, a wonderful trip
There it is, there's a wonderful trip to Canada

The Cubans don't pronounce every letter in a word.
When they say Cuba, you hear Cua.
I guess a Frenchman hears "ouaoua" when they say "guagua".

That makes a lot sense and matches grammatically too. I'm going with it :)
