Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 1
TORPEDO AND THE WHALE
As sung in the comic opera of Billee Taylor
In the North Sea liv'd a whale!
In the North Sea liv'd a whale!
In the North Sea liv'd a whale!
Big in bone and large in tail,
Bjg in bone and large in tail, oh!
This whale used unduly
To swagger and bully,
And oh! and oh!
The Indies loved him so!
This whale used unduly
To swagger And bully,
And oh! and oh'
The ladies loved him so!
All went well until one day,
All went well until one day.
All went well until one day
Came a strange tish'in the bay,
Came a strange fish in the bay, ah!
This fish was indeed, oh!
A Woolwich torpedo!
But oh! but oh!
The big whale did not know,
This fish was indeed, oh!
A Woolwich torpedo!
But oh! but oh!
The big whale did not know.
"Just you make tracks," cri'd the whale,
"Just you make tracks," cri'd the whale,
"Just you make tracks," cri'd the whale,
Then he lash'd out with his tail,
Then he lash'd out with his tail, oh!
The fish being loaded
Then and there exploded,
And oh! and oh!
That whale was seen no mo'!
The fish being loaded
Then And there exploded,
And oh! and oh!
That whale was seen no mo'!
