Sing a Whale Song

[Verse 1]
On a fateful day in the month of May
I was sitting catching fish
When a magic whale swam up to the rail
And said "Please make a wish!"
So I said well, gee, I'd love to be
Like you, a giant whale
Next thing I knew I was grayish-blue
And I had a two ton tail!

[Chorus]
Sing a whale song
Sing a whale song
Sing a whale song
As the flounder said to the oyster bed:
Sing a whale song!

[Verse 2]
With a mighty leap I dove down deep
And swam out through the cove
Then I raced to the top, did a belly flop
And down again I dove
From the Arctic to the Baltic
To the far off Hebrides
Like a submarine through the deep blue-green
I swam the seven seas!

[Chorus]
And sang a whale song
Sing a whale song
Sing a whale song
As the dogfish barked to the great white shark:
Sing a whale song!

[Bridge]
But there are some things I wish I could forget
Like that garbage scow off of Curaçao
Or that oil spill below Brazil
Or getting in that giant net
And I couldn't get out and, oh, I was I upset!

[Verse 3]
So I had to hail that magic whale
Who changed me back once more
Saying: "Now you know the great below
We need your help on shore
To tell your tale of being a whale
And all you've seen and done
Then wet and dry will unify!
And all the world as one

[Chorus]
Will sing a whale song!"
Sing a whale song
Sing a whale song
From the smallest ant to the tallest tree
From the highest peak to the deepest sea
All the world will ring in harmony
And sing a whale song!
