The Waterboys - We Are Jonah lyrics

And the round old fox, stepped up to make his speech His ship was on the rocks, and rescue out of reach Spotlit he stood, said what he thought he should Half the crowd did laugh, though there was no joke And soon the other half were swallowed up in smoke A robin on the wing, could be heard to sing, the strangest thing Grandma, we are jonah Rolling along in the teeth of a whale Then the plane did land, for some it did not crash From it emerged a man, in trainers and moustache Down he laid his load, upon the heated road Then the road did part, and the tar did melt He loosened up his heart, he tightened up his belt Like a piece of string, then he began to sing, like a pearly king Grandma, we are jonah Rolling along in the teeth of a whale Then the scene did shift, to a sun kissed sea There was montgomery clift, jonah, the whale and me As the sun it set, montgomery placed his bet Then the whale did yawn, and fell asleep in four From dusk till dawn, you shoul have heard him snore From tierra-del-fuego, to the alaskan snows... there she blows! Grandma, we are jonah Rolling along in the teeth of a whale My dear old grandma, we are jonah Rolling along in the teeth of a whale Grandma We are jonah, rolling along in the teeth of a whale
