19 Jan 26 - 06:12 PM (#4234649) Subject: Lyr Add: Moby Dork: A Shantey for Greenland From: GUEST,Høllie Tannensdøttir The news keeps newsing faster than I can write. Feel free to sing, folk-process, and pass along on the Net. Moby Dork The Great Orange Whale Lyrics: Hølie Tannensdøttir Tune: The Greenland Whale Fisheries, traditional Scottish whaling song I. In the year two thousand twenty-six On a freezing January day Thirteen dog sleds from Denmark did arrive To save Greenland from the USA, brave boys, To save Greenland from the USA. Our Captain stood on his snowmobile With an iGlass and a flagpole “There's a whale, there's a whale, there's a bloody orange whale,” “And he leaks at every hole, brave boys And he leaks at every hole.” 'Twas Moby Dork, the great orange whale Spewing garbage from his spout “If I can’t buy you, I’ll tariff you to death And laugh as I wipe you out, commie boys, I will laugh as I wipe you out.” Norway’s prime minister stood on a sleigh Guzzling narwhal grease “You attack your own citizens and sovereign states And expect a prize for peace?” he guffawed, “Will wonders never cease?” II. “Oh I need an island,” blubbered Moby Dork “Where my friends can sport and play With those sweet young teens, and those younger in-betweens Who massage us night and day(wink wink) Who massage us night and day. “Oh to lose this green island I love so well ‘Twould grieve my heart full sore But for folks to read them dadgum pedo-files ‘Twould grieve me ten times more, naughty boys, ‘Twould grieve me ten times more, “Call me Fishmeal,” said J D Vance With his face in a frozen smile “Play along, play along, play along with him,” he cried “He’ll be dead in a very little while, me boys, He’ll be dead in a little while.” III. We assailed that whale with our iHarpoons Till the whale gave a flunder with his tail And the Dow Jones crashed, four senators resigned, And we nuked that bloody whale,brave boys And we nuked that orange whale. “Moby Dork doth sink,” our Captain cried, “To the darkest pits of hell! To garner support for Greenland sovereignty Delights my heart full well, brave boys Delights my heart full well.” Oh, Greenland is cheerful again today Though it’s white instead of green Where there's ice cream and snow and the whalefishes blow And the Yanks are no more seen, brave boys And the Yanks are nevermore seen. iGlass: an Apple spyglass |

No he didn't, he kept on bluffing How did he get where he is? He lied! I stopped eight wars though who knows what they were I built seven casinos all went bankrupting |

Perhaps to "The Ballad of the Orange and the Green?" Don't ever judge a person by the colour of their skin Or prejudice them if their epidermis is too thin Because it's not their choice to make what is the skin their in So let's be colour-blinded to avoid this blackest sin This needs work but I think you get my point. Orange people are just as good as green people or any other colour. |
