A whale is slow to learn,
a whale is slow to learn,
yet orcas in their prime
rarely waste their time.
They learn a lot of tricks,
like guitarists with picks,
and often do they squeal,
because their pain is real.

"Try to deny it", the 'corporate' protest.
Well, orcas suffer so, despite what some suggest.

Whales never die;
orcas don't falter.
Once you have seen them,
whales are yours.
Whales never die;
whales never alter.
Once you have seen them,
whales are yours.
Once you have seen him,
Willy's yours.

As soon as you submit
your donations to us,
our orca will be freed,
with very little fuss.
We'll lead him to a plane,
quite gently - don't despair!
We'll lift him, gently still,
into the salty air.

Soon we'll return him to his native pod,
and if you think we can't, you might be slightly odd.

[To harmonica tune, replacing instrumental break:]
All hail the whales,
the whales of the deep blue sea,
and all of the dolphins
you can see.
All hail the whales,
the whales of the ocean sea,
for, once more, our whale will be set free,
and he'll squeak his music...

[Back to main theme:]
Whales never die!
Orcas continue!
Once you have paid us,
whales endure.
Whales never die,
once they're within you.
Riches are fleeting;
whales live on.
Riches are fleeting;
whales live on!
