We Are Jonah Lyrics - Singles - Waterboys

And the round old fox, stepped up to make his speech 

his ship was on the rocks, and rescue out of reach 

Spotlit he stood, said what he thought he should 

half the crowd did laugh, though there was no joke 

And soon the other half were swallowed up in smoke 

a robin on the wing, could be heard to sing, the strangest thing 

Grandma, we are Jonah 

rolling along in the teeth of a whale 

Then the plane did land, for some it did not crash 

from it emerged a man, in trainers and moustache 

Down he laid his load, upon the heated road 

then the road did part, and the tar did melt 

He loosened up his heart, he tightened up his belt 

like a piece of string, then he began to sing, like a pearly king

Grandma, we are Jonah 

rolling along in the teeth of a whale 

Then the scene did shift, to a sun kissed sea 

there was Montgomery Clift, Jonah, the Whale and me 

As the sun it set, Montgomery placed his bet 

then the whale did yawn, and fell asleep in four 

From dusk till dawn, you shoul have heard him snore 

from Tierra-Del-Fuego, to the Alaskan Snows... there she blows!
