Up to my ears In bitter tears Can't believe I've sunk this low As I walk the plankton Inner sanctum Got outta Dodge Sail on a bon-less Bon voyage You said 'north' I headed south Tossed overboard Good Lord That's a really large mouth
I'm sleeping with fishes here In the belly of a whale I'm highly nutritious here In the belly of a whale Bad food, lousy atmosphere I don't wanna bellyache How long is this gonna take?
Woke up this morning kinda blue Thinking through that age-old question How to exit a whale's digestion? It might behoove me to be heaved Head out like a human comet Hmmm...I wonder what rhymes with comet
End times, they come rolling around Enzymes, they come breaking us down to the core The good Lord grants we all get a second chance
I'm one of the dishes here In the belly of the whale They say I'm delicious here In the belly of the whale Lord, please make him chuck it all It's a gut call In the belly of the whale
I'm in the belly of the whale In the belly of the whale
I'm in the belly of the whale In an underwater jail It's a tight squeeze It's a-getting to me But it's roomier than the tail Hey, Sailer, got my flow free Like a salmon to the sea From the L.A. Symphony I'm a paddleboat Paddlin' in their wake A fake free-styler But my unemployment pays I'm avoiding cliches Like "whale of a tale" say Or "you can't keep a good man down" Cause you can And I've been there, man But I've been expectorated I'm elated! I'm free like Willie! Happy day! Oops, that's a bit of a cliche
