Lyrics of In the Belly of a Whale by VeggieTales
verse
Up to my ears in bitter tears
Can't believe I've sunk this low
As I walk the plankton inner sanctum
Got outta Dodge
verse
Sailed on a bon-less bon voyage
You said North, I headed South
Tossed overboard
Good Lord, that's a really large mouth
chorus
I'm sleeping with fishes here (in the belly of the whale)
I'm highly nutritious here (in the belly of the whale)
Bad food, lousy atmosphere, I don't wanna bellyache
How long is this gonna take?
verse
Woke up this morning kinda blue
Thinking through that age-old question
How to exit a whale's digestion?
It might behoove me to be heaved
Head out like a human comet
Guys, I wonder what rhymes with comet?
chorus
I'm sleeping with fishes here (in the belly of the whale)
I'm highly nutritious here (in the belly of the whale)
I'm ready to reappear, I don't wanna bellyache
Lord, how long's this gonna take?
verse
End times, they come rolling around
Enzymes, they come breaking us down to the core
The good Lord grants we all get a second chance
chorus
I'm one of the dishes here (in the belly of the whale)
They say I'm delicious here (in the belly of the whale)
Lord, please make him chuck it all
It's a gut call (in the belly of the whale)
chorus
I'm in the belly of the whale (in the belly of the whale)
I'm in the belly (in the belly of the whale)
I'm in the belly of the whale (in the belly of the whale)
I'm in the belly
verse
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
verse
Hey, sailor got my flow free
Like a salmon to the sea from the L.A. Symphony
I'm a paddle boat paddlin' in their wake
A fake free-styler
But my unemployment pays
verse
I'm avoiding clichés like "whale of a tale" stale
Or "you can't keep a good man down"
'Cause you can
And I've been there, man
outro
But I've been expectorated
I'm elated!
I'm free, like Willie!
Happy Day! Oops, that's a bit of a cliché
I'm in the belly of the whale (in the belly)
I'm in the belly (in the belly of the whale)
