Whale of a Tale [From 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea]

Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, 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 it's all true
I swear by my tattoo
There was Mermaid Minnie
Met her down in Madagascar
She would kiss me
Any time that I would ask her
Then one evening, her flame 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 ya, 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 it's 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 molten 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 ya, 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 it's all true
I swear by my tattoo
There was Harpoon Hannah
Had a face that made you shudder, lips like fishooks
And a nose just like a rudder
If I kissed her and held her tenderly
Crew member with deep voice:
Held her tenderly-y-y-y
There's no sea monster big enough
To ever frighten me
Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, 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 it's all true
I swear by my tattoo
Additional Verse
While playing with Esmeralda,
There was Old Man Nemo
Fed his crew on worms and fishes
Eels for breakfast
Slimy cold and seawood dishes
When they ate it
They knew it wasn't meat
But eat they did
With a scent
Of Smelling like a reef.
In the Soundtrack
Then their was Harpoon Hannah
Had a look that spelled out danger
My heart quivered when she whispered, hi there Stranger
Bought her Trinkets, That sailors can't afford
Crew member with deep voice:
Sailors can't affo-o-o-ord
And when I spent my last red cent
She tossed me over board
Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, 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 it's all true
I swear by my tattoo
