This is the story of a mighty white whale
a mighty, mighty, mighty white whale.
This mighty whale had a mighty wide tail
a mighty, mighty, mighty wide tail
and there's a captain and his crew who'd fail.

It started long ago when the captain set sail.
The captain and his crew set sail.
They must of heard the legend of the mighty white whale,
the legend of a  mighty white whale.
So the captain and his crew set sail.

They searched every ocean for the mighty white whale.
They never found the mighty white whale.
They found many others and their oil they'd sell
and their stories of battle they'd tell.
They would sharpened harpoons and drink ale.

Aye yai yai, yiddle aiddle yai yai
Aiddle yai yai yai aiddle yai
Aye yai yai, yiddle aye yai yai
Yiddle Yiddle Yiddle yai yai 

Then came the day that a whaler did yell.
"Dar she blows, it's the mighty white whale."
They lowered small boats on the ocean's swell.
They wanted the mighty white whale,
but the captain and his crew would fail.

The captain and his crew surrounded that whale.
They encircled that mighty white whale.
The whalers through harpoons as the ocean did swell
from the breach of the mighty white whale.
And their battle with this whale grew frail.

The ropes formed a web from harpoon boats trail
The anger of the captain prevailed
The captain lost his leg by the mouth of the whale
Lost his leg to the mighty white whale
Still the captain kept fighting this whale

The ocean was stained from the battle they held.
Then the captain jumped on the white whale.
Then everything stopped as silence fell.
The captain looked in the eye of the whale.
In those eyes was the story we tell.

The captain got tangled in the ropes on the whale,
wrapped in ropes near the tail of that whale.
All the harpoon boats were sunk, they were crushed by the whale.
All that was left was the captain and whale.
The mighty, mighty, mighty white whale.
