The Blue Whale Blues
(You wouldn’t kill friends so why kill whales?)
Lyrics: Shifu Damir Tenodi
Music & Performance: Larry Friedberg
You wouldn’t kill friends
so why kill whales?
And what a monster hails
such evil trends?
Don’t kill whales,
it makes the gods cry
Don’t kill whales
it shakes the sky.
Don’t kill whales
it desolates waves.
Don’t kill whales,
it shames and depraves.
Don’t kill whales,
whose hearts are so big
if hurt them, you strays,
they’ll brake like a twig.
Don’t kill whales,
ditch your harpoon.
Don’t kill whales,
or we’ll be gone soon.
Don’t kill whales,
we need their tune.
Don’t kill whales,
who peacefully croon.
Hey, stop killing whales,
you don’t kill friends,
but if you kill,
out of thrill,
then everything fails,
and everything pales,
so, stop killing whales.
Stop killing whales -
you don’t kill friends.
But listen and watch
- just listen and watch -
the enchanting grace
we all should embrace.
Hey, listen up guys
and lend me your ear -
let’s stop those cries
born out of fear.
Don’t soil and stain
the mighty seas
with blood and pain
so stop! halt! and freeze!
