Waterboys - We Are Jonah lyrics

rate me

And the well known fox stepped up to make his speech His ship was on the rocks and rescue out of reach spotlit he stood said what he thought he should Half the crowd did laugh though there was no joke and soon the other half were swallowed up in smoke a robber on the wing could be heard to sing the strangest thing... Grandma We are Jonah rolling along in the teeth of the whale Then the plane did land for some it did not crash From it emerged a man in trainers and moustache down he laid his load upon the hated road Then the road did part and the tar did melt he loosened up his heart he tightened up his belt like a piece of string then he began to sing like a pearly king ! Grandma We are Jonah rolling along in the teeth of the whale Then the scene did shift to a sunkissed sea there was Montgomery Clift, Jonah, the whale and me as the sun it set Montgomery placed his bet Then the whale did yawn and fell asleep in four from dusk till dawn you should have heard him snore from Tierra Del Fuego to the Alaskan snows... There she blows... Grandma We are Jonah rolling along in the teeth of the whale My dear old Grandma We are Jonah rolling along in the teeth of the whale!
