lyrics

Chapter 84: Pitchpoling

How I love my daily grind.
How I love my daily grind.
Daily grind!

Whales that flee in agony,
Desperately to seek relief
That they won't find.

Stretching taut a lengthy line
Out of reach but fixed in mind --
What a bind!

So I'll pitchpole my way (Wait to see it!),
Pitchpole my way (You won't believe it, now!),
Pitchpole my way, and kill me a whale --
He'll suffer, hey, hey!

Staying out beyond the lance,
Whaley thinks he has a chance,
But there's no chance!

Tossing out my sharpened love,
Death will reach him from above --
We'll drink his blood.

Yeah, I'll pitchpole my way (Wait to see it!),
Pitchpole my way (You won't believe it, now!),
Pitchpole my way, and kill me a whale --
He'll suffer, hey, hey!

How I love my daily grind.
How I love my daily grind.
Daily grind!
