《Save The Whales !(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Save The Whales! - Country Joe McDonald

[00:00:41] When my grandpa was a boy

[00:00:43] He went down to the general store

[00:00:46] Saw a picture book of a whale

[00:00:48] Shooting its spout and flashin' its tail

[00:00:51] Then he got a sailor's dream

[00:00:53] 'Bout cruisin' around on the salty sea

[00:00:55] Joinin' up with a fishin' crew

[00:00:58] To go out and get him a whale or two

[00:01:01] Tell me what kind of men are these

[00:01:03] Who sail upon the salty seas 

[00:01:05] Up in the rigging in the afternoon

[00:01:08] Swabbin' the decks and sharpenin' harpoons

[00:01:11] Hooray and up she rises

[00:01:13] Hooray and up she rises

[00:01:15] Hooray and up she rises

[00:01:20] Early in the morning

[00:01:21] There're lots of whales in the deep blue sea

[00:01:23] We kill them for the company

[00:01:26] We drag 'em 'longside and chop 'em in two

[00:01:28] And melt 'em down and sell 'em to you

[00:01:32] There hardly is a sailor alive

[00:01:33] Who can keep the tears from his eyes

[00:01:36] As he remembers the good old days

[00:01:38] When there were no whales to save

[00:01:41] Now we can thank the company

[00:01:43] For scouring the deep blue seas

[00:01:45] Looking for ivory and perfume

[00:01:48] And plastic toys and pet food

[00:01:51] Hooray and up she rises

[00:01:54] Hooray and up she rises

[00:01:56] Hooray and up she rises

[00:01:58] Early in the morning

[00:02:30] Shanghaied by the light of the moon

[00:02:32] Put out from Boston in the middle of June

[00:02:35] After six months out at sea

[00:02:37] It's nothin' but death and misery

[00:02:40] Set out on a three-year cruise

[00:02:43] A union ship and a union crew

[00:02:44] And after six months you begin to see

[00:02:47] That whalin's not what it used to be

[00:02:50] A modern ship and a modern crew

[00:02:52] With sonar scopes and explodin' harpoons

[00:02:54] A mechanical boat made outta steel

[00:02:56] A floating machine built to kill the whales

[00:02:59] Hooray and up she rises

[00:03:01] Hooray and up she rises

[00:03:04] Hooray and up she rises

[00:03:06] Early in the morning

[00:03:19] When my grandpa was a boy

[00:03:21] He went down to the general store

[00:03:23] Saw a picture book of a whale

[00:03:26] Shooting its spout and flashin' its tail

[00:03:29] Then he got a sailor's dream

[00:03:48] Hooray and up she rises

[00:03:50] Hooray and up she rises

[00:03:52] Hooray and up she rises

[00:03:55] Early in the morning

[00:03:57] Hooray and up she rises

[00:03:59] Hooray and up she rises

[00:04:02] Hooray and up she rises

[00:04:04] Early in the morning
