Whale Mountain looked like a whale Large and round with a waterspout trail Made of pine tree upside down So it looks like a spout shooting off of the ground The ground on top of Whale Mountain that is Whale Mountain looks like a whale A curved piece of rock looked just like it's tail When the earth quaked That tail did shake And it looked like the whale was swimming The whale mountain, I mean, was swimming Drop it all if you want to I'll see you in the afternoon Put the past behind you What a strange cartoon If it all falls apart though Someone says, "I told you so" Don't listen to them, throw a coin in the fountain And meet your old friends on the top of Whale Mountain Whale Mountain is where we'll go He had a band and practice space A studio with microphones So it's no wonder you've written songs that everyone know You had an agent, a gig, a promo photograph to make it all come together So you trade a sweatshirt in for leather You can't be a shepherd if you don't have a flock You can't wear the shoe unless you put on the sock There's nothing to do but trade your stock No you can't start the spark without the rock And you can't start a spark without a rock
