"'Round the World with the Rubber Duck" is the 1976 novelty song performed by C.W. McCall (pseudonym of Bill Fries) that was the sequel to the similar truck-driving country hit, Convoy. "'Round the World with the Rubber Duck" is the story about a fictitious truck convoy (there ain't no way out 'cept for that one Atlantic Ocean) through various countries. The lyrics[1] consist of different types of interspersed dialog including simulated CB conversations with CB slang and the chorus sung with a pirate accent and self-mocking background vocals (Dumb, Dumb, Dumb, This is,). The song's CB dialog includes parodied British, German, Russian, and Japanese accents, with stereotypical mispronounced words.
