(tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic)
 
I went fishing at the lake one day
With worms and pole and pail,
To catch a fish for supper,
But instead I caught a whale.
I climbed upon his slippery back,
And took myself a ride,
But he swam fast and I slipped off,
And landed right inside.
 
Glory, glory hallelujah,
That's a tall tale I told ya,
Shakes and shivers running through ya,
(Spoken) Here comes another one, worse than the other one.
 
An astronaut invited me
To take a ride in space.
We blasted off one morning,
For a most unusual place.
We landed on a planet,
After many weeks of flight;
We saw three-headed elephants,
A most unusual sight.
 
Glory, glory hallelujah
That's a tall take I told to ya;
Do you believe that it is true, ya?
(Spoken) Well it's not!
 
I dug a hole to plant a tree
One warm and sunny day
I dug so deep I couldn't get out
To run and jump and play
I thought to keep on digging
Was the best thing I could do.
So I made a hole clean through the world,
And then I fell right through
 
Glory, glory hallelujah
That's the last tale I'll tell to ya,
Aren't you glad that I am through, ya?
(Spoken) Thank goodness!!
