You’ve likely heard this one before, and you probably like it. Or not. But you’ve probably heard it.
An improbable tale about a man tossed overboard from Cruise ship and swallowed alive by a whale, it’s just infectious pop music. It’s got a good beat and you can dance to it. I dunno if there’s much more else to say. It’s a good song.
And of course, the lyrics:
A nice breeze blow’s in
Whenever the big fella cracks a grin
and when the time and the place is right
sit down and sip some Bouillabaisse.
Ahhh I’m gonna have me a little fun
I’ve got a candle and I can get a lot of reading done
somewhere the sun is shinning
on this world but not for me
two lovers hearts are rising
ohh How long before I’m free
It feels like Jonah in the belly of the whale
I get so lonely in the belly of the whale
oooo yeah I feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
oooo and I say if we swim faster we’re sure to come back
It will please everyone
got thrown off the boat before the trip was done
so with a smile on your face
you disappeared without a trace
Ahhh we’re only gonna have us a little fun down down down
I’ve lit the candle we can get a lot of reading done
somewhere the sun is shinning
on this world but not for me
two lovers hearts are rising
ohh How long before I’m free
I feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
gotta keep my head up now if I wanna come back
I gets so lonely in the belly of the whale
You Wanna know you belong here but only your trapped
oooo yeah I feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
oooo and I say if we swim faster we’re sure to come back
somewhere the sun is shinning
on this world but not for me
two lovers hearts are rising
ohh How long before I’m free
I feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
gotta keep my head up now if I wanna come back
I gets so lonely in the belly of the whale
You Wanna know you belong here but only your trapped
It feels like Jonah in the belly of the whale
oooo and I say if we swim faster we’re sure to come back
