3c12103b72114icc21! They say he didn't have an enemy
3c12103b72114icc21! his was a greatness to behold
3c12103b72114icc21! He was the last surviving progeny
3c12103b72114icc21! the last one on this side of the world
3c12103b72114icc21!
3c12103b72114icc21! He measured a half mile from tip to tail
3c12103b72114icc21! silver and black with powerful fins
3c12103b72114icc21! They say he could split a mountain in two
3c12103b72114icc21! that's how we got the Grand Canyon
3c12103b72114icc21!
3c12103b72114icc21! Last great American whale
3c12103b72114icc21! last great American whale
3c12103b72114icc21! Last great American whale
3c12103b72114icc21! last great American whale
3c12103b72114icc21!
3c12103b72114icc21! Some say they saw him at the Great Lakes
3c12103b72114icc21! some say they saw him off of Florida
3c12103b72114icc21! My mother said she saw him in Chinatown
3c12103b72114icc21! but you can't always trust your mother
3c12103b72114icc21!
3c12103b72114icc21! Off the Carolinas the sun shines brightly in the day
3c12103b72114icc21! the lighthouse glows ghostly there at night
3c12103b72114icc21! The chief of a local tribe had killed a racist mayor's son
3c12103b72114icc21! and he'd been on death row since 1958
3c12103b72114icc21!
3c12103b72114icc21! The mayor's kid was a rowdy pig
3c12103b72114icc21! spit on Indians and lots worse
3c12103b72114icc21! The old chief buried a hatchet in his head
3c12103b72114icc21! life compared to death for him seemed worse
3c12103b72114icc21!
3c12103b72114icc21! The tribal brothers gathered in the lighthouse to sing
3c12103b72114icc21! and tried to conjure up a storm or rain
3c12103b72114icc21! The harbor parted, the great whale sprang full up
3c12103b72114icc21! and caused a hugh tidal wave
3c12103b72114icc21!
3c12103b72114icc21! The wave crushed the jail and freed the chief
3c12103b72114icc21! the tribe let out a roar
3c12103b72114icc21! The whites were drowned, the browns and reds set free
3c12103b72114icc21! but sadly one thing more
3c12103b72114icc21!
3c12103b72114icc21! Some local yokel member of the NRA
3c12103b72114icc21! kept a bazooka in his living room
3c12103b72114icc21! And thinking he had the chief in his sight
3c12103b72114icc21! blew the whale's brains out with a lead harpoon
3c12103b72114icc21!
3c12103b72114icc21! Last great American whale
3c12103b72114icc21! last great American whale
3c12103b72114icc21! Last great American whale
3c12103b72114icc21! last great American whale
3c12103b72114icc21!
3c12103b72114icc21! Well Americans don't care for much of anything
3c12103b72114icc21! land and water the least
3c12103b72114icc21! And animal life is low on the totem pole
3c12103b72114icc21! with human life not worth more than infected yeast
3c12103b72114icc21!
3c12103b72114icc21! Americans don't care too much for beauty
3c12103b72114icc21! they'll shit in a river, dump battery acid in a stream
3c12103b72114icc21! They'll watch dead rats wash up on the beach
3c12103b72114icc21! and complain if they can't swim
3c12103b72114icc21!
3c12103b72114icc21! They say things are done for the majority
3c12103b72114icc21! don't believe half of what you see and none of what you hear
3c12103b72114icc21! It's like what my painter friend Donald said to me
3c12103b72114icc21! Stick a fork in their ass and turn them over, they're done
3c12103b72114icc21!
