From: GUEST,anythinglovecantbuy

The first song "The '68 Nixon" Was Sung by The Mitchell Trio, it begins with "Hey there voters, how do you feel? Tired of the same old vote appeal? Well look who's back with a ban new style, a brand new look and a brand new smile!" I wanna know what the whole lyric is. So... I beg you please transcribe the song lyrics by your ears for me, thank you!

The next song "Whale Song" was sung by John Denver, I don't know the lyrics so I wish that you could help me.

After Nixon resigned, I used to tell a joke in my shows:

"Well, Richard Nixon is going out in public again. He's even making speeches. And amazingly, he's drawing crowds too!!
I guess that's no big deal. Even a dead whale on a flat car draws crowds!"

The '68 Nixon (From LyricWiki)

Hi there voters, how do you feel?
Tired of the same old vote appeal?
Well look who's back with a brand new style
A brand new look and a brand new smile

It's the '68 Nixon, everything is new
A brand new image just created for you
A dozen different finishes and so much finesse
He's got a brand new doggie, not Checkers but Chess

Now the Reagan can ramble, the Rocky can race
But Dick can jump from left to right and not lose his place
His '56 production was loaded with spite
His '60 was a copy of the '58 Ike
The third time's a charm and if it's charm that you like

You'll like the '68 Nixon, he's different this year
The '68 Nixon is here and he is liberal and conservative
He's humble and he's proud
He's more than just a candidate, he's a crowd

Yes, he's the '68 Nixon a brother to man
So run and see him quick before he changes again
In every town and hamlet he is soon to appear
The '68 Nixon, he's different this year
The '68 Nixon, guaranteed not to smear
The '68 Nixon is here

The preceding was a paid political denouncement.

Hi there voters, How do you feel?
Still tired of the same old vote appeal,
Well, look who’s back with a brand new style, a
brand new look and a brand new smile.

It's a ‘68 Nixon, everything's new, brand new image just created for you
A dozen different finishes, so much finesse,
he's got a brand new doggie, not Checkers, not Chess.
Now the Rigger can ramble, the Rockie can race
but Nick can jump from left to right and not lose his place
His ‘56 production was loaded with spike
His ’60 was a copy of the ’58 hike
But work on the charm and if it’s charm that you like
You’ll like the ’68 Nixon, he’s different this year
the ’68 Nixon is here and he is
liberal and conservative, he's humble and he's proud,
he's more than just a candidate, he’s a crowd
yes he's a ‘68 Nixon, a brother to men
so run and see him quick before he changes again
in every town and hamlet he is soon to appear
the ‘68 Nixon, he’s different this year
the 68 Nixon guaranteed not to sneer
the ’68 Nixon is here.
The preceding was a paid political announcement.

Whale Song
Spoken -
One hallmark of intelligence is a range of activity beyond their survival culture communication, recognition of the individual and play these are characteristics we generally reserve for our-selves but we are not alone In Baha, the whales are surfing

She is just another creature, mother to a gifted child
Giving life to life forever, forever free and running wild
Running with a brighter vision, singing with a clearer voice
Dancing on the open water, each and every one rejoice.
Each and every one together sing in peaceful harmony
For ourselves and for each other, for the Earth and for the sea.

Jacque Cousteau -
Through a liquid looking glass, we have seen complex lives that mirror our own. Individuals in cooperative societies, kindred spirits we've barely just met. Our numbers increase and in our massive wake there's decline. Can we protect what we do not yet fully understand? The lingering mystery may be not their nature but our own.
