lyrics

Tell a glorious tale
City of Whale
Streets paved with diamonds and girls
what a man wouldn't do to
fill up his pocketbook
and buy a fat piece of you

Straighten out, straighten out
Hard refresh
hand over hand to mouth

Striking out, striking out
Take a stretch
Foot along another route

Casting cannonballs, butchering whales
sewing up pocketbooks to catch all the coin
show me anything at all but
cut up old tails
that they took from the books

Straighten out, straighten out
They ate all the bones
right off the meat

Striking out, striking out
Baby's all grown
out on her own two feet

Hard refresh, we'll/whale take a bow
A coin in the purse to pay the way to Davy
But what are we now if something much worse
All that they'll find is the diamond, baby

Straighten out straighten out
Hard refresh
hand over hand to mouth
Striking out striking out
Take a stretch, foot along another route
