Baby, come on, baby, come on
I am a whale, so alone
Baby, come on
Baby, come on, baby, come on
I am a whale, so alone
Baby, come on
Come on!
Saturday night, when I was a drunk on rum
I stumbled a deck and I sunk like a stone
Now, I'm in the water, I wan't give a good fork
Down, down to the bottm and take a good Coke
Dream was down, my blood down on cold
For up come a monster and swallow that whore
Baby, come on, baby, come on
Down in the basement is a fresh I was made
We stopped fish and tuna and squid and sea bream
I begin on tripwood and a pile of pulse
I'm gonna build me a cabin and sit right at home
That fish took my pride, that whale was my bitch
I live in the guts and live in the stick
Born I got just in was a wrong in a spitch
Alone my mama, whole new I ended like this
Come on! (x7)
Baby, come on! Baby, come on!
Baby, come on!
