A Whale of a Tale - Mr. Hurley & Die Pulveraffen

Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads

A whale of a tale or two

'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I’ve loved

On nights like this with the moon above

A whale of a tale, and it’s all true

I swear by my tattoo

There was Mermaid Minnie

Met her down in Madagascar

She would kiss me

Any time that I would ask her

Then one evening, her flame of love blew out

Blow me down and pick me up!

She swapped me for a trout

Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads

A whale of a tale or two

'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I’ve loved

On nights like this with the moon above

A whale of a tale, and it’s all true

I swear by my tattoo

There was Typhoon Tessie

Met her on the coast of Java

When we kissed, I… bubbled up like molten lava

Then she gave me the scare of my young life

Blow me down and pick me up!

She was the captain’s wife

Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads

A whale of a tale or two

'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I’ve loved

On nights like this with the moon above

A whale of a tale, and it’s all true

I swear by my tattoo

There was Harpoon Hannah

Had a face that made you shudder, lips like fish hooks…

And a nose just like a rudder

If I kissed her and held her tenderly

Crew member with deep voice:

Held her tenderly-y-y-y

There’s no sea monster big enough

To ever frighten me

Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads

A whale of a tale or two

'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I’ve loved

On nights like this with the moon above

A whale of a tale, and it’s all true

I swear by my tattoo

Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads

A whale of a tale or two

'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I’ve loved

On nights like this with the moon above

A whale of a tale, and it’s all true

I swear by my tattoo
