It's a whale it's a whale where the valley once was
I can tell by her head that her tail is coming up
Long as a train taller than a bus
Must have come with the river when the levee went bust
It's a heart it's a heart that's beating in your chest
Going thump thump rattle in your long summer dress
There's a hole in the bottom of the boat that we get
Got to row through tomorrow and we're gonna get wetIt's the deal we don't quit till the other one does
I can't let you sleep any longer my love
You look I'll be lying here just where I was
It's a dream it's a dream girl you're gonna wake up
It's a dream it's a dream girl you're gonna wake upI can hear I can hear them chanting in the woods
On their hind legs walking on little swine hooves
Singing hi ho silver here we come here we go
We've come for the women and to get your manhood
I can see I can see them coming from the west
See the embers on the tips of hand rolled cigarettes
Moving from the posts with their long bayonets
No we can't stop fighting till we know God existsIt's the deal we don't quit till the other one does
No I can't let you sleep any longer my love
You can't leave me here to fend for both of us
It's a dream it's a dream girl you're gonna wake up
It's a dream it's a dream girl you're gonna wake up
