Songs of the Cetaceans

RIGHT WHALE
(to the tune of "Indian Chief")

Right Whale, Right Whale, black and white whale,
Why are you so very slow?
Right Whale, Right Whale, needs no lunch pail,
He skims for food while he's on the go.
Right Whales' cousin Greenland Right Whale,
Has a head shaped like a bow.
Right Whale, Right Whale, not the wrong whale,
That's why the hunt you, don't you know?
That's why they hunt you, don't you know?
