 Up to my ears
  In bitter tears
  Can't believe I've sunk  this low
  As I walk  the plankton
  Inner sanctum
 Got outta dodge
  Sailed on a bon-less  bon voyage
  You said North  I headed South
  Tossed overboard
  Good Lord, that's a really large mouth
 I'm sleeping  with fishes  here
 In the belly of the whale
  I'm highly  nutritious  here
 In the belly of the whale
  Bad food,  lousy atmosphere
 I don't wanna bellyache
  How long  is this gonna  take
  Woke  up this morning kinda blue
  Thinking through that age-old  question
  How  to exit a whale's digestion
  It  might behoove me to be heaved
  Head  out like a human  comet
 I'm sleeping  with fishes  here
 In the belly of the whale
  I'm highly  nutritious  here
 In the belly of the whale
  I'm ready  to reappear
 I don't wanna bellyache
  Lord, how  long's this gonna  take
 End times they come rolling  around
 Enzymes they come breaking  us down to the core
 The good Lord grants we all  get a second  chance
 I'm one  of the dishes  here
 In the belly of the whale
  They say  I'm delicious  here
 In the belly of the whale
  Lord, please  make him chuck  me out
 It's a gut call
  in  the belly  of the whale
 I'm in the belly of the whale
  In the belly  of the whale
  I'm in  the belly
 In the belly  of the whale
  I'm in  the belly of the whale
  In the belly  of the whale
  I'm in  the belly
  In the belly  of the whale
  In an underwater  jail
  It's a tight  squeeze
  It's a-gettin' to  me
  But it's roomier  than the tail
  Hey, sailor
  Got my flow free
  Like a salmon  to the sea
  From the L.A. Symphony
  I'm a paddleboat
  Paddlin' in their wake
  A fake  free-styler
  But my unemployment  pays
  I'm avoiding  cliches
  Like "whale  of a tale" stale
  Or "you can't  keep
  A good man down,"
  'Cause you can
  And I've been there man
  But I've been  expectorated
  I'm elated
  I'm free
  Like Willie
  Happy day
  Oops that's  a bit of a cliche
 Now the guitar plays this:
While they  repeat  the same  line:
 "In the belly of the whale"
