Save the whales Lyrics
Save the whales - Guitavio
Written by：Joe Mc Donald
When my grandpa was a boy
He went down to the general store
Saw a picture book of a whale
Shooting it's spout and flashin' it's tail
Then he got a sailor's dream
'Bout cruisin' around on the salty sea
Joinin' up with a fishin' crew
To go out and get him a whale or two
Now tell me what kind of men are these
That sail upon the salty seas
Up in the rigging in the afternoon
Swabbin' the decks and sharpenin' harpoons
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Early in the morning
Lots of whales in the deep blue sea
We kill them for the industry
We drag 'em 'longside chop 'em in two
And melt 'em down and sell 'em to you
There hardly is a sailor alive
Who can keep the tears from his eyes
As he remembers the good old days
When there were no whales to save
Now we can thank the companies
For scouring the deep blue seas
Looking for ivory and perfume
And although like you living good
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Early in the morning
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Early in the morning
Shanghaied by the light of the moon
Put out from boston in the middle of June
After six months out at sea
Nothin' but death and misery
Set out on a three year cruise
A union ship and a union crew
And after six months you begin to see
That whalin's not what it used to be
A modern ship and a modern crew
With sonar scopes and explodin' harpoons
A mechanical boat made outta steel
A floating machine built to kill the whales
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Early in the morning
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Hooray and up she rises
Early in the morning
