It's a whale it's a whale where the valley once was

I can tell by her head that her tail is coming up

Long as a train taller than a bus

Must have come with the river when the levee went bust

It's a heart it's a heart that's beating in your chest

Going thump thump rattle in your long summer dress

There's a hole in the bottom of the boat that we get

Got to row through tomorrow and we're gonna get wet It's the deal we don't quit till the other one does

I can't let you sleep any longer my love

You look I'll be lying here just where I was

It's a dream it's a dream girl you're gonna wake up

It's a dream it's a dream girl you're gonna wake up I can hear I can hear them chanting in the woods

On their hind legs walking on little swine hooves

Singing hi ho silver here we come here we go

We've come for the women and to get your manhood

I can see I can see them coming from the west

See the embers on the tips of hand rolled cigarettes

Moving from the posts with their long bayonets

No we can't stop fighting till we know God exists It's the deal we don't quit till the other one does

No I can't let you sleep any longer my love

You can't leave me here to fend for both of us

It's a dream it's a dream girl you're gonna wake up

It's a dream it's a dream girl you're gonna wake up It's the deal we don't quit till the other one does

No I can't let you sleep any longer my love

You look I'll be lying here just where I was

You got to wake up

You got to wake up

It's the deal we don't quit till the other one does

I can't let you sleep any longer my love

You can't leave me here alone to fend for all of us

You got to wake up

You got to wake up

It's a dream it's a dream girl you're gonna wake up

It's a dream it's a dream girl you're gonna wake up
