Whale - Dear Reader, Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg

Just gotta keep on moving, that’s our way

It’s not for a wave to stay in one place

And when the ice melts far away

We have no say

We gain the weight

Till we cover New York

With icy, icy blue

And the Statue of Liberty

She’ll be poking through

And the last time that you see her

It’ll be from a canoe

Floating on our tears and your tears too

Boohoo

Her mum died yesterday

She will not be going to a funeral

But she’ll put on a pretty black dress anyway

And then she’ll go to the park and play

In the sandpit

Then we’ll cover New York

With icy, icy blue

And the Statue of Liberty

She’ll be poking through

And the last time that you see her

It’ll be from a shell-shaped canoe

Just say mama goodbye

You know I’ll always miss you

Boohoo

Boohoo

Boohoo

We’ll cover New York

With icy, icy blue

And the Statue of Liberty

She’ll be poking through

And the last time that you see her

It’ll be from a canoe

Floating on our tears and your tears too

We’ll cover New York

With icy, icy blue

And the Statue of Liberty

She’ll be poking through

And the last time that you see her

It’ll be from a canoe

Singing mama goodbye

You know we’ll always miss you

Boohoo
