Ride the Whale Lyrics

I caught a tiger by the tail, now I'm gonna ride the whale

Shook a hellhound off my trail, now I gotta ride the whale

I won't be held by any jail, Oh Lord

I'm gonna ride the whale

When I was just a boy on my first day of school

They tried to learn me right from wrong

they tried to learn me the golden rule

But I wasted the gift they gave me

For the right to play a fool

I shook a hellhound off my trail,

now I've got to ride the whale

I caught a tiger by the tail, now I'm gonna ride the whale

I got a feeling I can't fail, Oh Lord, I'm gonna ride the whale

I feel bad, bad, bad, feel as bad as the day is long

I feel bad, bad, bad

Cause I still don't know right from wrong

I take these bad, bad feelings, chop em up and make a song

And it goes a little something like

Now I'm going off the rails, and I'm gonna ride the whale

I'm like a hammer with no nail

And I gotta ride these here whale

I got a feeling I can't fail, Oh Lord, I'm gonna ride the whale
