A Whale Of A Tale (from '20,000 Leagues Under The Sea')
Got a whale of a tale to tell you lads
A whale of a tale or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and its all true
I swear by my tattoo
The was Mermaid Minnie
Met her down in Madagascar
She would kiss me
Any time that I would ask her
Then one evening, her frame of love blew out
Blow me down and pick me up
She swapped me for a trout
Got a whale of a tale to tell you lads
A whale of a tale or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and its all true
I swear by my tattoo
There was Typhoon Tessie
Met her on the coast of Java
When we kissed I,
Bubbled up like molton lava
Then she gave me, the scare of my young life
Blow me down and pick me up
She was the captain's wife!
Got a whale of a tale to tell you lads
A whale of a tale or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and its all true
I swear by my tattoo
Then there was Harpoon Hannah
Had a look that spelled out danger
My heart quivered
When she whispered "I'm there stranger"
Bought her trinkets
That sailors can't afford
(Sailors can't afford)
And when I spent my last red cent she tossed me overboard
Got a whale of a tale to tell you lads
A whale of a tale or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and its all true
I swear by my tattoo!
A whale of a tale or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and its all true
I swear by my tattoo
The was Mermaid Minnie
Met her down in Madagascar
She would kiss me
Any time that I would ask her
Then one evening, her frame of love blew out
Blow me down and pick me up
She swapped me for a trout
Got a whale of a tale to tell you lads
A whale of a tale or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and its all true
I swear by my tattoo
There was Typhoon Tessie
Met her on the coast of Java
When we kissed I,
Bubbled up like molton lava
Then she gave me, the scare of my young life
Blow me down and pick me up
She was the captain's wife!
Got a whale of a tale to tell you lads
A whale of a tale or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and its all true

'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and its all true
I swear by my tattoo!
