Verse
Bm A
When my grandpa was a boy, he went down to the general store
Bm A Bm
Saw a picture book of a whale shooting its spout and flashin' its tail
Bm A
Then he got a sailor's dream 'bout cruisin' around on the salty sea
Bm A Bm
Joinin' up with a fishin' crew to go out and get him a whale or two
Bm A
Tell me what kind of men are these who sail upon the salty seas
Bm A Bm
Up in the rigging in the afternoon, swabbin' the decks and sharpenin' harpoons
[Chorus]
Bm A
Hooray and up she rises, hooray and up she rises
Bm A Bm
Hooray and up she rises, early in the morning
Bm A
Hooray and up she rises, hooray and up she rises
Bm A Bm
Hooray and up she rises, early in the morning
[Verse 2]
Bm A
There're lots of whales in the deep blue sea, we kill them for the industry
Bm A Bm
We drag 'em 'longside and chop 'em in two and melt 'em down and sell 'em to you
Bm A
There hardly is a sailor alive who can keep the tears from his eyes
Bm A Bm
As he remembers the good old days when there were no whales to save
Bm A
Thank the Russians and Japanese for scouring the deep blue seas
Bm A Bm
Looking for ivory and perfume and plastic toys and pet food
[Chorus]
Bm A
Hooray and up she rises, hooray and up she rises
Bm A Bm
Hooray and up she rises, early in the morning
Bm A
Hooray and up she rises, hooray and up she rises
Bm A Bm
Hooray and up she rises, early in the morning
[Verse 3]
Bm A
Shanghaied by the light of the moon, put out from Boston in the middle of June
Bm A Bm
After six months out at sea, it's nothin' but death and misery
Bm A
Set out on a three-year cruise, a union ship and a union crew
Bm A Bm
And after six months you begin to see, that whalin's not what it used to be
Bm A
F# modern ship and a modern crew with sonar scopes and explodin' harpoons
Bm A Bm
F# mechanical boat made outta steel, a floating machine built to kill the whales
[Chorus]
Bm A
Hooray and up she rises, hooray and up she rises
Bm A Bm
Hooray and up she rises, early in the morning
Bm A
Hooray and up she rises, hooray and up she rises
Bm A Bm
Hooray and up she rises, early in the morning
[Reprise]
