sing a whale song - tom chapin lyrics

Loading...

[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 sh-r-
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!
