Ramblin' Man Lyrics

John you've been on the go ever since you were born and I
imagine few people in the world today have travelled as much
as you have. Now why?

Well I dunno.
I suppose some of us are cave dwellers, some of us live in houses, some of us like to be loose footed.
I'm a ramblin' man.

I'm a ramblin' man.

When listed in the order in which the locations are narrated, the message "BAGPUSS SEES ALL THINGS" is spelt out midway through the song (from Brixton to San José), using the first letter of each location.

Which is apparently a reference to... a cartoon cat? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagpuss

Is there any meaning behind the phrase though?
