Song Title: Whale of A Tale
Composer: Ross F Jutsum
Performed by: The Young Ambassadors
Settle back, and together we'll sail
We're sure just like us you'll enjoy the commotion
As we tell you a whale of a tale
A story of creatures amazing and strange
And the kind of pet you 'd like to keep
They swim through the ocean 's incredible range
They're the kings and the queens of the deep
Join with our crew as we take in the view
Hang on tight to that rail, hoist up that sail
Come and we'll tell you a whale of a tale
From the family of mammals with fins
The talented, versatile, lovable dolphin
He was born with a true built-in grin
A marvelous example of knowledge retention
Their squeaks sound like children I know
Their staggering feats go beyond comprehension
You'll see as they put on their show
Been known to dive almost a mile
His marvelous size and magnificent glory
Give him good enough reason to smile
These warm-blooded migrating creatures of sonar
Their gentleness, it never fails
They've humbled great men just like Job and like Johah
And in numerous tales about whales
Make you laugh till you cry and you weep
We offer our thanks to their wonderful trainers
And we hope you've not fallen asleep
Our animal friends love to play to the crowd
And they leave us a/I longing for more
They've frolicked and romped
And they've waved and they've bowed
No surprise that we 're standing in awe
