Going Up The Country
Kitty, Daisy & Lewis
3:18Got 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
