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

Hooray and up she rises, early in the morning
G#m F#
Hooray and up she rises, hooray and up she rises
G#m F# G#m
Hooray and up she rises, early in the morning
