Up to my ears in bitter tears
|
Can't believe I've sunk this low
|
Can't believe I've sunk this low
|
As I walk the plankton
|
Inner sanctum.
|
Got outta Dodge,
|
Sailed on a bon-less
|
Bon voyage.
|
You said North,
|
I headed South.
|
Tossed overboard.
|
Good Lord, that's a really large mouth...
|
|
I'm sleeping with fishes here,
|
In the belly of the whale.
|
I'm highly nutritious here,
|
In the belly of the whale.
|
Bad food, lousy atmosphere.
|
I don't wanna bellyache.
|
How long is this gonna take?
|
|
Woke up this morning kinda blue,
|
Thinking through that age-old question:
|
How to exit a whale's digestion?
|
It might behoove me to be heaved.
|
Head out like a human comet....
|
[Larry Boy:] "Hey guys you might not wanna rhyme with comet"
|
|
I'm sleeping with fishes here,
|
In the belly of the whale.
|
I'm highly nutritious here,
|
In the belly of the whale.
|
I'm ready to reappear.
|
I don't wanna bellyache.
|
Lord, how long's this gonna take?
|
|
End times, they come rolling around.
|
Enzymes, they come breaking us down to the core.
|
The good Lord grants we all get a second chance.
|
|
I'm one of the dishes here,
|
In the belly of the whale.
|
They say I'm delicious here,
|
In the belly of the whale.
|
Lord, please make him chuck it all.
|
It's a gut call
|
In the belly of the whale.
|
|
I'm in the belly of the whale.
|
In the belly of the whale.
|
I'm in the belly.
|
In the belly of the whale.
|
I'm in the belly of the whale.
|
In the belly of the whale.
|
I'm in the belly...
|
|
In the belly of the whale
|
In an underwater jail
|
It's a tight squeeze.
|
It's a-gettin' to me,
|
But it's roomier
|
Than the tail.
|
Hey, sailor,
|
Got my flow free
|
Like a salmon to the sea
|
From the L.A. Symphony.
|
I'm a paddleboat
|
Paddlin' in their wake,
|
A fake free-styler,
|
But my unemployment pays.
|
I'm avoiding cliches
|
Like "whale of a tale" stale
|
Or "you can't keep
|
A good man down,"
|
'Cause you can
|
And I've been there, man.
|
But I've been expectorated.
|
I'm elated!
|
I'm free like Willie!
|
Happy Day!
|
Oops,
|
That's a bit of a cliche.
|
|
In the belly...
