VERSE 3: REPEATS THESE CHORDS (Bm, A, G, A)
In the belly of the whale

In an underwater jail

It's a tight squeeze.

It's a-gettin' to me,

But it's roomier

Than the tail.

Hey, sailor,

Got my flow free

Like a salmon to the sea

From the L.A. Symphony.

I'm a paddleboat

Paddlin' in their wake,

A fake free-styler,

But my unemployment pays.

I'm avoiding cliches

Like "whale of a tale" stale

Or "you can't keep

A good man down,"

'Cause you can

And I've been there, man.

But I've been expectorated.

I'm elated!

I'm free like Willie!

Happy Day!

Oops,

That's a bit of a cliche.

In the belly... (fades out)
