A Whale Of A Tale Songtext
von Kirk Douglas

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 Madagaskar
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
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
