Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(D major) As I was a -walk (A major) in' down by (D major) the seaside, (A major)
I saw a large whale floatin' (D major) on the tide.
He measured as long
as a great (G major) schooner stick.
I looked, (A major) and by gum,
it was old Moby Dick (D major) .
Now what do you think I made of his head?
(A major) As large an oven as (D major) ever
baked bread
Fruitcake and cookies,
oh just (G major) take your pick
Don't you (A major) think I did well
with old Moby Dick (D major) ?
Now what do you think I
made of his eye (A major) s?
The fanciest platters as
ever (D major) baked pies
Blueberry custard, oh,
(G major) just take your pick
Don't you (A major) think I did well
with old Moby Dick (D major) ?
Now what do you think I made of his tail? (A major)
As fine a mainsail as ever sought (D major) sail
Topsail or spinnaker,
just (G major) take your pick
Don't (D major) you (A major) think I did well
with old Moby Dick (D major) ?
Now what do you think I made of his back (A major) ?
A big top for a circus,
and (D major) all colored black,
Water repellent, all shiny (G major) and slick.
Don't you (A major) think I did well
with old Moby Dick (D major) ?
Now what do you think I
made of his rib (A major) s?
Forty new cradles and fifty (D major) new cribs,
For twins or quintuplets,
oh, (G major) just take your pick
Don't you (A major) think I did well
with old Moby Dick (D major) ?
Now what did I make
of his old backbone? (A major)
A place for a king, a shiny (D major) white (A major) throne
I (D major) labored for years,
t 'was not (G major) finished quick (G minor)
Don't (G major) you (A major) think I did well
with old Moby Dick (D major) ?
Now what do you think I made of his ma? (A major)
As fine a blasphemous as ever (D major) you saw
Gas, coal or wood,
oh just (G major) take your pick
Don't you (A major) think I did well
with old Moby Dick (D major) ?
