I heard a story 'bout a walking whale And in a million years he learned how to sail Led an expedition out into the deep blue He was lookin' to kill something just like him But this one was big and white and still had fins He said, "You owe me a leg and I'ma see I get it back from you!" Sailed through the water, high and low Shootin' harpoons at the beast below Captain pressed on despite the company's groans And wouldn't you know? Up came the whale The boat and crew sucked down to jail Now that sailor, he belongs to Davey Jones Another story 'bout a hummingbird Who sung just to sing, not to be heard So happened it was captured and thrown in a cage one day By a woman who loved the sound of its tune She'd listen everyday from dawn til noon But the bird wanted out and it just had to find a way Beat on the cage givin' everything Back to his perch with a broken wing Knew right then that it was never gonna break out the door And so it goes, the bird sung a song So loud that the lady's ears went wrong SongtexteAnd now that lady, well, she can't hear no more You can pick what you like and go set sail Whether it be a hummingbird or a big white whale And chase it all around like you've met your match But you'll see what happens when you try To cage a bird that's meant to fly Or when you go fishin' for something that you just can't catch When you go fishin' for something that you just can't catch Aus Songtexte Mania
