Very, very funny song. Bat Goddess (who was born in between Lake Michigan and Lake Superior) |

I found them through the help of a fellow at this forum a while ago and will be glad to send them to you if you'll drop me an e-mail at corvos@localline.com You can also listen to 'em again on the Real Audio archives at Praire Home Companion's website I believe. Heh. They wouldn't send me the the words 'cause they were worrried about copyright infringement. Kinda makes you wonder if we might be just a little lawyer-heavy, doesn't it? |

THE LOSING OF THE WHALE
In eighteen hundred and forty-six
We sailed from Tacky Guano
We sailed for three long days and nights
We sailed for four more days and nights
That whale she lashed her tail, me boys,
No the first to throw his harpoon out
Now we went in with our blubber hooks
Now we hauled that whale on deck me boys,
And our captain with remorse was filled
"I'll never hunt that whale " he cried
And soon likewise we all were drown'd,
