Lyrics:
I heard the song Of the world's last whale As I rocked in the moonlight And reefed the sail It'll happen to you Also without fail If it happens to me Sang the world's last whale It was down off Bermuda Early last spring Near an underwater mountain Where the humpbacks sing I lowered the microphone About a quarter mile down Switched on the recorder Let the tape spin around I didn't just hear grunting I didn't just hear squeaks I didn't just hear bellows I didn't just hear shrieks It was the musical singing And the passionate wail That came from the heart Of the world's last whale Down in the Antarctic There, the harpoons wait But it's up on the land You decide my fate In London town They'll be telling the tale If it's life or death For the world's last whale So here's a little test To see how you feel Here's a little test For this age of the automobile If we can save Our singers up in the sea Perhaps there's a chance To save you and me I heard the song Of the world's last whale As I rocked in the moonlight And reefed the sail It'll happen to you Also without fail If it happens to me Sang the world's last whale
