The Whale |
The whale, the whale |
The citizen of the sea |
He has the right to live |
And so does she |
In the ocean, in the wild |
She moves peaceful with her child |
Till the harpoon wounds her young |
And she hovers to protect it |
And she’s done |
The whale, the whale |
The citizen of the sea |
He sings his sonic song |
And so does she |
He finds his mating ground |
Till the whaler tracks him down |
Evry quarter hour, they say |
One grat whale is done away |
Done away |
The humpback and the blue |
The bowhead and the right |
Every quarter hour |
Day and night |
Ocean creatures large and small |
There was room enough for all |
Till there came the rule of man |
Now the gentle whale is dogmeat |
In the can |
The whale, the whale |
Four millions used to be |
Their rightful population in the sea |
Few thousands now remain |
And we harry them again |
As the whale goes, and the dolphin |
And the ocean, and the forest |
So will we |
