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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Early in the morning [00:01:20]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Early in the morning [00:01:58]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Early in the morning [00:03:06]

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

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

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

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

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

'Bout cruisin' around on the salty sea[00:03:31]

Joinin' up with a fishin' crew[00:03:33]

Tell me what kind of men are these[00:03:38]

Up in the rigging in the afternoon[00:03:42]

Swabbin' the decks and sharpenin' harpoons [00:03:45]

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

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

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

Early in the morning [00:03:55]

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

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

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

Early in the morning[00:04:04]
