VERSE 3: REPEATS THESE CHORDS (Bm, A, G, A)
Bm
In the belly of the whale
A
In an underwater jail
G
It's a tight squeeze.
A
It's a-gettin' to me,
Bm
But it's roomier
Than the tail.
A
Hey, sailor,
G
Got my flow free
A
Like a salmon to the sea
Bm
From the L.A. Symphony.
A
I'm a paddleboat
G
Paddlin' in their wake,
A
A fake free-styler,
Bm
But my unemployment pays.
A
I'm avoiding cliches
G
Like "whale of a tale" stale
A
Or "you can't keep
Bm
A good man down,"
A
'Cause you can
G
And I've been there, man.
A
But I've been expectorated.
Bm
I'm elated!
A
I'm free like Willie!
G
Happy Day!
A
Oops,
Bm
That's a bit of a cliche.
Bm A, G, A
In the belly... (fades out)
