We Are Jonah

The Waterboys

Composición de: Mike Scott
And the well known 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 robber on the wing 
could be heard to sing 
the strangest thing... 

Grandma 
We are Jonah 
rolling along 
in the teeth of the 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 hated 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 the whale 
Then the scene did shift 
to a sunkissed 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 should 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 the whale 
My dear old Grandma 
We are Jonah 
rolling along 
in the teeth of the whale!
