Well I woke up this morning And you would not believe what I saw Three whales outside my window Swimming in the river Lee Orca Orca Killer Whale
You never saw such excitement People came from far and near to see the whales They lined up on the banks of the river Nobody had ever heard of such a thing before Orca Orca Killer Whale
I met an old woman in the super market She said John you have to write a song about the whales Who else is going to do it? I went ORCA ORCA Killer Whale
I met a busker on Paul Street He said they've come with a message to the human race We've got to clean up the seas I said I thought they came up after the salmon and the mullet Orca Orca Killer Whale
Well they swam up to the city hall They were singing to the city fathers In a language nobody could understand They were singing Orca Orca Killer Whale
There was lads coming out of Charlies At one O' clock in the morning They were out of their heads on E's They thought they were after taking one too many When they saw the three whales on Union Quay Orca Orca Killer Whale
Well they swam right up the the south channel Where there wasn't that much water People were getting worried They came up as far as the School of Music They came to hear the human children playing the violin Orca Orca Killer Whale
The place was full of stories All the talk was of the whales The salmon were jumping into the nets Down by Blackrock Castle To get away from the mammals Orca Orca Killer Whale
A fella saw a duck swimming On the pleasant waters of the Lee Next thing a mighty jaw rises from the depths Swallows the duck I didn't believe that one Till I saw on the television What they do with the penguins Down by the south pole Orca Orca Killer Whale
Old fellas were saying When I was a young fella You could walk across the river Lee On the backs of the mullet That's how plentiful they were I heard that three or four times Orca Orca Killer Whale
The crowd from the university Seemed fairly on the ball They said there was one mother One young son and an older male Maybe an older son They were expert at catching fish Orca Orca Killer Whale
Well they hung around for about a week Certainly they got plenty of fish Plenty salmon and mullet The Irish won't eat the mullet We think we're too good They say they eat the sh*t off the bottom I'd say they're grand The French love them Also the Orca Orca Killer Whale They went back out the harbour Then the word came through Mama Orca had passed away It turns out she was old She came up the River to die With her two sons around her And to have one last lash off the mullet And to hear the children play the violin She had nothing to lose Orca Orca Killer Whale
The two lads headed off to the ocean Out past Roche's Point There was a pod outside of thirty whales Waiting for the boys Sorry to hear about your mother Pod that was the word for a load of whales You had to have the word, pod Orca Orca Killer Whale
That was the summer of the whales Now they're just a vague memory The strange people of Cork We have the memory of a goldfish I met an old woman in the super market She said John you have to write a song about the whales Only for her there'd be no song I went ORCA ORCA KILLER WHALE ORCA ORCA KILLER WHALETeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
