lyrics

SAVE THE NARWHAL

I came home on Sunday morning
While Madonna was still yawning
She said, “How’s your morning been?
You know I can’t sleep when
Someone’s always telling me
I gotta Save The Narwhal”

I was late on Monday morning

My boss said, “Well, here’s fair warning:
I can’t take your sleeping in

You really should have been

Up there a oat on Greenpeace boats
To save the Narwhal”

I went drinking with some friends
And we went to The Living End
Behind the bar was Jim

I said, “I’ll have a shot of gin.”
He said, “I can’t serve you alcohol
If you won’t save the Narwhal”
Save the Narwhal
