User blog:Essie Essex/The Whale Sail: A Popular Gristian Children's Song

I created a melody for this song, but use whatever one fits. +5 coin points with snickerdoodles if it's creative. I personally recommend the melody to "Happy Birthday (to you)" if you're really good at cramming the words in there.

''A sailboat floated in the sea, the crew was in a fuss, because the wind was nowhere to be... ...found, and they were stuck,''

''bobbing in the ocean blue, the crew was sick, the captain too, but then out of the water deep, some movement caught their eye.''

 'Captain,' said one of the men, '''I think something is afoot', the captain looked over the side and fell overboard, ka-put!''

The men didn't know what to do, '''the captain's gone,' they cried, 'boo-hoo!' but then there came a miracle, as the captain appeared.''

As he floated out of the ocean, ''he cried, 'Listen men!, a most peculiar thing has happened. I've found us a friend!''

As I sank down into the blue, ''I thought I was a-dead, but suddenly I found myself, standing on a whale's head!''

Hooray!' the crew shouted in glee, '''The captain is a-back!' The captain said, 'the whale and I have made a little pact.''

In exchange for friendship undying, ''he'll give us a push. We'll sail from Caltan to Cullero, with no wind, a-whoosh!''

From that moment on never again did the boat need a sail. ''If the wind failed, the men still sailed, because they had a whale!''
