Song Description

This is a fanciful look at overcoming the frustrations of life through getting back to childhood and imagination.

Lyrics

I woke up one day morning
With a radio in my ear
You were lying there with my teddy bear
But something just was not clear

In the middle of the room stood a woman with a broom
And I smelled something stale
She said, "My time is done. I'm outta here, son,
and I'm taking my wishing whale."

Wishing whale
Wishing whale
Toss a coin on my wishing whale
You're gettin' blubber from your mother
But you know you gotta love her
When you're wishing on a wishing whale

Wishing whale
Wishing whale
Toss a coin on my wishing whale
You're gettin' blubber from your mother
But you know you gotta love her
When you're wishing on a wishing whale

When looks go wrong and they pound the gong
And you can't seem to make ends meet
You've got a friend in me says the man from the sea
So get some water on your feet

Look for the spray that sings all day
and drifts along on the gale
After you brave the flurries, you can lose your worries
Just by wishing on a wishing whale

Wishing whale
Wishing whale
Toss a coin on my wishing whale
You're gettin' blubber from your mother
But you know you gotta love her
When you're wishing on a wishing whale

Wishing whale
Wishing whale
Toss a coin on my wishing whale
You're gettin' blubber from your mother
But you know you gotta love her
When you're wishing on a wishing whale

With a little dream and some hope unseen
You can treat yourself to some fun
Find a wishing whale-- take a coin and a sale
And now our song is done

Wishing whale
Wishing whale
Toss a coin on my wishing whale
You're gettin' blubber from your mother
But you know you gotta love her
When you're wishing on a wishing whale

Wishing whale
Wishing whale
Toss a coin on my wishing whale
You're gettin' blubber from your mother
But you know you gotta love her
When you're wishing on a wishing whale

And now our song is done!
And now our song is done!
