i heard the song
of the worlds last whale
as i rocked in the moonlight
and reefed the sail
itll happen to you
also without fail
if it happens to me
sang the worlds last whale
it was down off bermuda
early last spring
near an underwater mountain
where the humpbacks sing
i lowered the microphone
about a quarter mile down
switched on the recorder
let the tape spin around
i didnt just hear grunting
i didnt just hear squeaks
i didnt just hear bellows
i didnt just hear shrieks
it was the musical singing
and the passionate wail
that came from the heart
of the worlds last whale
down in the antarctic
there the harpoons wait
but its up on the land
you decide my fate
in london town
theyll be telling the tale
if its life or death
for the worlds last whale
so heres a little test
to see how you feel
heres a little test
for this age of the automobile
if we can save
our singers up in the sea
perhaps theres a chance
to save you and me
i heard the song
of the worlds last whale
as i rocked in the moonlight
and reefed the sail
itll happen to you
also without fail
if it happens to me
sang the worlds last whale
