RIDE THE WHALE
music & lyrics by LL

I caught a tiger by the tail, now I'm gonna ride the whale
I shook a hellhound off my trail, now I've got to ride the whale
I won't be held by any jail, Oh Lord, I'm gonna ride the whale

When I was just a boy on my first day of school
They tried to learn me right from wrong, they tried to learn me the golden rule
But I wasted the gift they gave me for the right to play a fool

I shook a hellhound off my trail, now I've got to ride the whale
I caught a tiger by the tail, now I'm gonna ride the whale
I got a feeling I can't fail, Oh Lord, I'm gonna ride the whale

I feel bad, bad, bad, feel as bad as the day is long
I feel bad, bad, bad, cause I still don't know right from wrong
I take these bad, bad feelings, chop em up and make a song
And it goes a little something like:

Now I'm going off the rails, and I'm gonna ride the whale
I'm like a hammer with no nail, and I gotta ride these here whale
I got a feeling I can't fail, Oh Lord, I'm gonna ride the whale
