Belly Of The Whale

Up to my earsIn bitter tearsCan't believe I've sunk this lowAs I walk the planktonInner sanctumGot outta DodgeSailed on a bon-lessBon voyageYou said NorthI headed SouthTossed overboardGood Lord, that's a really large mouthI'm sleeping with fishes hereIn the belly of the whaleI'm highly nutritious hereIn the belly of the whaleBad food, lousy atmosphereI don't wanna bellyacheHow long is this gonna take?Woke up this morning kinda blueThinking through that age-old questionHow to exit a whale's digestion?It might behoove me to be heavedHead out like a human comet[Larry Boy: "hey guys you might not wanna rhyme with comet"]I'm sleeping with fishes hereIn the belly of the whaleI'm highly nutritious hereIn the belly of the whaleI'm ready to reappearI don't wanna bellyacheLord, how long's this gonna take?End times, they come rolling aroundEnzymes, they come breaking us down to the coreThe good Lord grants we all get a second chanceI'm one of the dishes hereIn the belly of the whaleThey say I'm delicious hereIn the belly of the whaleLord, please make him chuck it allIt's a gut callIn the belly of the whaleI'm in the belly of the whaleIn the belly of the whaleI'm in the bellyIn the belly of the whaleI'm in the belly of the whaleIn the belly of the whaleI'm in the bellyIn the belly of the whaleIn an underwater jailIt's a tight squeezeIt's a-gettin' to meBut it's roomierThan the tailHey, sailorGot my flow freeLike a salmon to the seaFrom the L. A. SymphonyI'm a paddleboatPaddlin' in their wakeA fake free-stylerBut my unemployment paysI'm avoiding clichesLike "whale of a tale" staleOr "you can't keepA good man down, "'Cause you canAnd I've been there, manBut I've been expectoratedI'm elated!I'm free like Willie!Happy Day!OopsThat's a bit of a clicheIn the belly
