Whale, Parts 2 & 1 - Frankie Big Face
Whale, Part 2
I ate whale in Norway
In Norway, I ate whale
A little off the back and
A section of the tail.
I ate bear in Estonia
In Estonia, I ate bear
And I washed it right down
With some cinnamon beer.
You can tell me I'm going straight to Hell
But satisfying meals are endangered as well
Had suckling pig in España
In Spain, I had suckling pig
And downed a glass of Rioja
In one fell swig.
I had some veal in Tyrol
In Tyrol, I had veal
At the foot of the Alps
In a grassy field.
And I know it's not what you would want me to do
But boring food is cruel and unusual punishment too.

I ate shark in Mexico
And I wondered if he knew the whale
And I laughed out loud
At the thought of the tale.
And I laughed out loud
At the thought of the tale.
Whale, Part 1
Let me put this into terms you can understand
You and I have got a whale of a problem on our hands
'Cause no mineral or plant in the deep blue sea
Is gonna bring you back around to loving me.
Because the clouds in the middle of the sky won't listen to me
I don't think I have the energy for one more fight
So I'll stand here like a deer frozen in your headlights
All the songs in the forest, all the whistles through the trees
Aren't gonna bring you back around to loving me.
Because the clouds in the middle of the sky
Are obscuring the sun and obstructing the rays
That would carry the light and deliver the heat
To the center of your heart and would melt away the ice
Put there by me.
We can try and pretend things are gonna get better
Disregard the gorilla in the room forever
But no tiger not even the king of the beasts
Is gonna bring you back around to loving me.
Because the clouds in the middle of the sky
Are obscuring the sun and obstructing the rays
That would carry the light and deliver the heat
To the center of your heart and would melt away the ice
Put there by me.
I hear that now you're gonna go and make peace with the zodiac
Now that this year of the monkey's finally off your back
No amount of evolution's gonna make me a gene
That will bring you back around to loving me.
Because the clouds in the middle of the sky won't listen to me.
