KING BUTTERFLY & LITTLE WHALE

chorus
King Butterfly & Little Whale
Did you ever hear such a tale
King Butterfly & Little Whale
Did you ever hear such a tale

They met off the coast of Nantucket
The winter of '63
They both loved the adventure
And the mighty roar of the sea

One day the music traveled
From across the Atlantic pond
Little Whale heard the sounds
He and his new friend were soon gone

chorus

They journeyed through treacherous ocean
King Butterfly clung atop the whale's back
Through the wind and the rain
The sky turned a deep deep black

storm section

They finally reached the Mersey of Liverpool
There they saw the screaming crowds
And heard the songs that would change the world

chorus

Well....that's the tale of King Butterfly & Little Whale...
What ever happened to them?Well...returned to America and
Became a VERY successful folk duo!
Their number 1 smash hit was called Please Be Nice To Each Other.
