Blue Whale! Oh I've been contemplating The hype of the holidays And all those marketers baiting their hooks for the Christmas craze Now ads intend to strangle you And tell you what to buy Well I've got a little angle too on a gift that will satisfy: Go get a blue whale and name it after me I want a silver tag mounted dorsally, Go get a blue whale, name it after me. Blue whale, name a blue whale after me, No big red bow or mistletoe, Or lights in a plastic tree Just put my name on a big blue whale In the middle of the sea! You could have my D.N.A. frozen Or send my blood into space You could plant my genes in the ozone but it won't put a smile on my face I want something more exotic Than the latest techno toy A gift slightly macrobiotic that the whole fam'ly can enjoy: Go get a blue whale and name it after me I want a silver tag mounted dorsally, Go get a blue whale, name it after me. Blue whale, name a blue whale after me, No jingle bells or turkey smells, Or reindeer learning how to ski Just put my name on a big blue whale In the middle of the sea! Now I'm as much of a consumer as the primate in the mall But I think I believe the rumour that commercials are running it all Let them say that I'm backwards or silly but I won't be an indentur'd elf I want a gift that can free more than Willie, at the same time promote myself. Go get a blue whale and name it after me I want a silver tag mounted dorsally, Go get a blue whale, name it after me. Blue whale, name a blue whale after me, No Christmas cheer or lov'd ones dear Or nothing that isn't for me Just slap a plaque on the back of a big blue whale.
