(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!!
