Lyrics Song of the World's Last Whale - Pete Seeger
I
heard
the
song
Of
the
world's
last
whale
As
I
rocked
in
the
moonlight
And
reefed
the
sail
It'll
happen
to
you
Also
without
fail
If
it
happens
to
me
Sang
the
world's
last
whale
It
was
down
off
Bermuda
Early
last
spring
Near
an
underwater
mountain
Where
the
humpbacks
sing
I
lowered
the
microphone
About
a
quarter
mile
down
Switched
on
the
recorder
Let
the
tape
spin
around
I
didn't
just
hear
grunting
I
didn't
just
hear
squeaks
I
didn't
just
hear
bellows
I
didn't
just
hear
shrieks
It
was
the
musical
singing
And
the
passionate
wail
That
came
from
the
heart
Of
the
world's
last
whale
Down
in
the
Antarctic
There,
the
harpoons
wait
But
it's
up
on
the
land
You
decide
my
fate
In
London
town
They'll
be
telling
the
tale
If
it's
life
or
death
For
the
world's
last
whale
So
here's
a
little
test
To
see
how
you
feel
Here's
a
little
test
For
this
age
of
the
automobile
If
we
can
save
Our
singers
up
in
the
sea
Perhaps
there's
a
chance
To
save
you
and
me
I
heard
the
song
Of
the
world's
last
whale
As
I
rocked
in
the
moonlight
And
reefed
the
sail
It'll
happen
to
you
Also
without
fail
If
it
happens
to
me
Sang
the
world's
last
whale
