Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads
1  -2   -2 -2 -3  4  -55
A whale of a tale or two
  5    5   -5   5    -3
“Bout the flap-pin’ fish
-2  -2    3    -2   -1
And the girls I’ve loved
1    -2    -3   3    -3* -3*  -3 -5  4
On nights like this with the moon a-bove
1  -2   -3 -3 3   -3*  -3   4   4
A whale of a tale and it’s all true
-3*-3 3 -2 3  2  -2
I swear by my ta-too

There was Mer-maid Min-nie
 5  -4   5   -3  5 -3  3  -2
Met her down in Mad-a-gas-car
-1    -2   -3* -5
She would kiss me
4 -4  4    -3  4  -3    3  -2
An-y-time that I would ask her
 -1  -2  -3*  -5
Then one eve-ning
-3*   4   -5  4     -3    3
Her flame of love burned out
 -3  4   4   -2   -3  4  4
Blow me down and pick me up
-2     3   -3* -3  3  -2
She swapped me for a trout
