Now the whale did strike, and the line paid out,
Then the whale gave a flutter with its tail;
The boat capsized, and four gallant men were lost,
No more, no more Greenland for you, brave boys.
No more, no more Greenland for you.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In the year two-thousand twenty-five, in March the twenty-eighth day,
We launched our boat from Washington, and to Greenland sailed away.
To Greenland sailed away, brave boys.
To Greenland sailed away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the wife of the vice president, and three big shots on board,
We raised the stars-and-stripes to the top of the mast,
Bound for Greenland\u2019s shore, brave boys,
Bound for Greenland\u2019s shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second lady in the cross trees stood, with a spyglass in her hand;
\u201cThere’s a whale, there’s a whale, there’s a whalefish,\u201d she cried,
\u201cAnd he blows at every span, brave boys,
And he blows at every span.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The captain cried from the quarterdeck, with plunder in his eyes,
\u201cHarpoon that beast, full of minerals and oil,
\u201cShe’ll make a lovely prize, brave boys,
\u201cShe’ll make a lovely prize.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

But the whale did strike, and the line paid out,
Then the whale gave a flutter with its tail;
The boat capsized, and four gallant men were lost,
And we never caught that whale, brave boys
And we never caught that whale.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo lose those men,\u201d the captain cried, \u201cburns my heart full sore;
\u201cBut to lose that whale, with its minerals and oil,
\u201cIt burns me 10 times more, brave boys,
\u201cIt burns me 10 times more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Greenland is a barren place, where wind blows like a gale.
And it’s people tell you time and time again:
\u201cGreenland is not for sale, brave boys,
\u201cGreenland is not for sale.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the whale did strike, and the line paid out,

No more, no more Greenland for you, brave boys,
No more, no more Greenland for you.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
