A nice breeze blows in
Whenever the big fella cracks a grin
And when the time and the place is right
We sit down, sip some bouillabaisse
Whenever the big fella cracks a grin
And when the time and the place is right
We sit down, sip some bouillabaisse
Ah, you know I'm gonna have me a little fun
I got a candle, I can get a lot of reading done
I got a candle, I can get a lot of reading done
Somewhere the sun is shining
On this world, but not for me
Two lovers' hearts a-rising
Oh, how long before I'm free?
On this world, but not for me
Two lovers' hearts a-rising
Oh, how long before I'm free?
Ah, yes, I
Feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
I get so lonely in the belly of the whale
Feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
I get so lonely in the belly of the whale
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, I feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I say now, if we swim faster
(We're sure to come back)
Yeah, I feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I say now, if we swim faster
(We're sure to come back)
Ah, you didn't please everyone
Got thrown off the boat before the trip was done
So with a smile on your face
You disappeared without no trace
Got thrown off the boat before the trip was done
So with a smile on your face
You disappeared without no trace
Ah, you know we're gonna have us a little fun
(While down here)
I got a candle, we can get a lot of reading done
(While down here)
I got a candle, we can get a lot of reading done
Somewhere the sun is shining
On this world, but not for me
Two lovers' hearts a-rising
Oh, how long before I'm free?
On this world, but not for me
Two lovers' hearts a-rising
Oh, how long before I'm free?
Ah, yes, I
Feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
Gotta keep my head up now if I wanna come back
It gets so lonely in the belly of the whale
You wanna know you belong here, but you've only got trapped
Hey!
Feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
Gotta keep my head up now if I wanna come back
It gets so lonely in the belly of the whale
You wanna know you belong here, but you've only got trapped
Hey!
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Don't you feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale?
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
But I say now, if we swim faster
(We're sure to come back)
Don't you feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale?
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
But I say now, if we swim faster
(We're sure to come back)
Somewhere the sun is shining
On this world, but not for me
Two lovers' hearts a-rising
Oh, how long before I'm free?
On this world, but not for me
Two lovers' hearts a-rising
Oh, how long before I'm free?
Ah, yes, I
I feel like Jonah in the belly of the whale
Gotta keep my head up now if I wanna come back
I get so lonely in the belly of the whale
You wanna know you belong here, yet you've only got trapped
Gotta keep my head up now if I wanna come back
I get so lonely in the belly of the whale
You wanna know you belong here, yet you've only got trapped
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, it feels like Jonah in the belly of the whale
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Did I tell you now? If we swim faster
(We're sure to come back)
Yeah, it feels like Jonah in the belly of the whale
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Did I tell you now? If we swim faster
(We're sure to come back)
