Great beast, large in size.
He who is much larger than I.
Gracious and humble as he glides
through open water like a sail.
Thy majesty, a whale tale.

In the depths, away from prying eyes,
he rules over his dominion.
A gracious king he shall be.
For he never takes more than he needs.
Thy majesty, a whale tale.

He rules as far as I can see,
and then some, no one dares disagree.
Feasting on kale, he grow old and frail.
His reign long, eternally unchallenged.
Thy majesty, a whale tale.

Even most humble creatures must die.
One final resting place he shall find.
The sea floor shall become its home,
For all eternity it shall be in peace.
Thy majesty, a whale tale.

His peaceful slumber is disturbed,
The sea has deceived him and receded.
Now he hangs there for all to see,
With their unworthy eyes.
Thy majesty, a whale tale.
