Save the Whales - Country Joe McDonald[00:00:00]

When my grandpa was a boy[00:00:07]

He went down to the general store[00:00:10]

Saw a picture book of a whale[00:00:12]

Shooting IT'S spout and flashin' IT'S tail[00:00:15]

Then he got a sailor's dream[00:00:17]

'Bout cruisin' around on the salty sea[00:00:19]

Joinin' up with a fishin' crew[00:00:22]

To go out and get him a whale or two[00:00:24]

Tell me what kind of men are these[00:00:27]

Who sail upon the salty seas  [00:00:29]

Up in the rigging in the afternoon[00:00:31]

Swabbin' the decks and sharpenin' harpoons[00:00:34]

Hooray and up she rises[00:00:36]

Hooray and up she rises[00:00:39]

Hooray and up she rises[00:00:41]

Early in the morning[00:00:44]

There're lots of whales in the deep blue sea[00:00:55]

We kill them for the industry[00:00:58]

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

And melt 'em down and sell 'em to you[00:01:02]

There hardly is a sailor alive[00:01:05]

Who can keep the tears from his eyes[00:01:07]

As he remembers the good old days[00:01:09]

When there were no whales to save[00:01:12]

Thank the Russians and Japanese[00:01:14]

For scouring the deep blue seas[00:01:17]

Looking for ivory and perfume[00:01:19]

And plastic toys and pet food[00:01:21]

Hooray and up she rises[00:01:24]

Hooray and up she rises[00:01:27]

Hooray and up she rises[00:01:29]

Early in the morning[00:01:31]

Shanghaied by the light of the moon[00:01:43]

Put out from Boston in the middle of June[00:01:46]

After six months out at sea[00:01:48]

It's nothin' but death and misery[00:01:50]

Set out on a three-year cruise[00:01:53]

A union ship and a union crew[00:01:55]

And after six months you begin to see[00:01:57]

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

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

With sonar scopes and explodin' harpoons[00:02:04]

A mechanical boat made outta steel[00:02:06]

A floating machine built to kill the whales[00:02:09]

Hooray and up she rises[00:02:12]

Hooray and up she rises[00:02:14]

Hooray and up she rises[00:02:17]

Early in the morning[00:02:19]

Hooray and up she rises[00:02:21]

Hooray and up she rises[00:02:24]

Hooray and up she rises[00:02:26]

Hooray and up she rises[00:02:40]

Hooray and up she rises[00:02:43]

Hooray and up she rises[00:02:45]

Early in the morning[00:02:48]

Hooray and up she rises[00:02:50]

Hooray and up she rises[00:02:53]

Hooray and up she rises[00:02:55]

Early in the morning[00:02:58]

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

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

Hooray and up she rises[00:03:05]

Early in the morning[00:03:07]

Hooray and up she rises[00:03:10]

Hooray and up she rises[00:03:12]

Hooray and up she rises[00:03:15]

Early in the morning[00:03:17]

When my grandpa was a boy[00:03:30]

He went down to the general store[00:03:32]

Saw a picture book of a whale[00:03:34]

Shooting IT'S spout and flashin' IT'S tail[00:03:37]

Then he got a sailor's dream[00:03:39]

Hooray and up she rises[00:03:58]

Hooray and up she rises[00:04:01]

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

Early in the morning[00:04:05]

Hooray and up she rises[00:04:08]

Hooray and up she rises[00:04:10]

Hooray and up she rises[00:04:13]

Early one more time[00:04:15]

Hooray and up she rises[00:04:17]

Hooray and up she rises[00:04:20]

Hooray and up she rises[00:04:22]

Early in the morning[00:04:24]
