The Whale lyrics
by Hoagy Carmichael
[Verse 1]
Wouldn't you like to be a whale
And sail serenely by
An eighty-foot whale from your tip of your tail
And a tiny, briny eye
Wouldn't you like to wallow
Where nobody says "Come out!" (Hey, get out of there, come on, hey)
Wouldn't you love to swallow
And blow all the brine about
Wouldn't you like to be so clean
And never to have to wash, I mean
Wouldn't you love to spout
Oh yes, just think
And a feather of spray, sailin' away
Risin' and sinkin' and sinkin' and risin'
And blowin' the brine about?
