Oh Jonah he was desperate
In the belly of the whale
Well Jonah had a plan
He knew he couldn't failHe raised his head on high
And looking for the sky
And sang his song so pretty
The whale told him goodbyeYou got to sing you children sing

And on his horn he'd blowThat horn would play a tune
And sing a happy song
