Country Joe McDonald - Save the whales

^DWhen my grandpa was a boy, ^Che went down to the general store ^DSaw a picture book of a whale sh^Cooting its spout and f^Dlashin' its tail ^DThen he got a sailor's dream 'bout cr^Cuisin' around on the salty sea ^DJoinin' up with a fishin' crew to ^Cgo out and get him a w^Dhale or two ^DTell me what kind of men are these who s^Cail upon the salty seas ^DUp in the rigging in the afternoon, ^Cswabbin' the decks and s^Dharpenin' harpoons

^DHooray and up she rises,^C hooray and up she rises ^DHooray and up she rises, ^Cearly in the m^Dorning

There're ^Dlots of whales in the deep blue sea, we ^Ckill them for the industry We ^Ddrag 'em 'longside and cut'em in two and ^Cmelt 'em down and ^Dsell 'em to you There ^Dhardly is a sailor alive who can k^Ceep the tears from his eyes As ^Dhe remembers the good old days w^Chen there were no wh^Dales to save ^DNow you thank the companies for sc^Couring the deep blue seas ^DLooking for ivory and perfume and ^COil to light your ^Dliving room

^DHooray and up she rises,^C hooray and up she rises ^DHooray and up she rises, ^Cearly in the m^Dorning

^DShanghaied by the light of the moon, ^Cput out from Boston in the middle of June ^DAfter six months out at sea, it's ^Cnothin' but death and ^Dmisery ^DSet out on a three-year cruise, a ^Cunion ship and a union crew And ^Dafter six months you begin to see, that ^Cwhalin's not what it ^Dused to be A ^Dmodern ship and a modern crew with s^Conar scopes and explodin' harpoons A mech^Danical boat made outta steel, a fl^Coating machine built to ^Dkill the whales
