The whale song
But wheres it coming from?
Oh ha, ha ha, oh

Well, my lad youve come aboard then
You look as if you wanted a breath of sea air
I want to fish
Well, youve got a lovely day for it, ha, ha, ha, ha

Hold back, 300 meters port bow captain
I can just see the whale coming out of the mist
They heard a gurgling sound,
And the head of the whale rose above the surface of the water

Theres a whale, theres a whale
Theres a whale fish, he cried
And the whale was in full view
Theres a whale, theres a whale
Theres a whale fishs bow
And the whale was in full view

Whale fish, whale fish, whale fish
And the whale was in full view
Theres a whale, theres a whale
Theres a whale fish
And the whale was in full view

The huge fish emerged from the water
It looked dreadful
It was covered in mud and green weed
You call that a whale?

Aargh, what sorta fish are you?
Im not a real fish at all, you stupid man
What are you if youre not a fish?
You certainly look like a fish
Well, I certainly dont feel like a fish

Theres a whale, theres a whale
Theres a whale fish, he cried
And the whale was in full view
Theres a whale, Theres a whale
Theres a whale fishs bow
And the whale was in full view

Whale fish, whale fish, whale fish
And the whale was in full view
Theres a whale, theres a whale
Theres a whale fish
And the whale was in full view

Just then he fell into the sea
Whoops, man overboard
Do something fast, swim for it
I, I cant swim
Cant swim, well well, fancy that

The lifeboat came to the rescue
Ive been shipwrecked
Well, after being shipwrecked
No doubt youll be ready for lunch

When the fisherman got his breath back
They had a lovely picnic supper of fish and chips
It was the best fish supper theyd ever tasted
It was delicious

Theres a whale, theres a whale
Theres a whale fish, he cried
And the whale was in full view
Theres a whale, theres a whale
Theres a whale fishs bow
And the whale was in full view

Whale fish, whale fish, whale fish
And the whale was in full view
Theres a whale, theres a whale
Theres a whale fish
And the whale was in full view

Whales great creatures of the sea
Please listen to me
Whales, whales, whales, whales

Whales, I am your friend
On the bed of the ocean
No doubt
Thank you, great fish
