March Of The Harpooneers

Lyrics

TASHTEGO & QUEEQUEG & DAGGOO

WE ARE THE HARPOONEERS.

MEALTIME WE BRING OUR SPEARS.

EAT WHATEVER GRUB THEY GIVE US.

DON’T LOOK FOR SUCH MANNERS FROM US.

TASHTEGO

QUEEQUEG DOWN SIT YOU.

QUEEQUEG

TASHTEGO ALSO.

TASHTEGO & QUEEQUEG

DAGGOO THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR YOU.

QUEEQUEG & DAGGOO & TASHTEGO

WE ARE THREE HARPOONEERS ARE WE

AND WE CATCH THE WHALES TO FILL THE BARRELS WITH THEIR OIL.

QUEEQUEG

OWNERS WANT

TASHTEGO

MORE OF THAT

DAGGOO

IN THE BANK.

QUEEQUEG

OWNERS WANT

TASHTEGO

MORE OF THAT

DAGGOO

IN THE BANK.

TASHTEGO (Solo)

I’M BORN OF THE SEA,

WHERE MY PEOPLE HAVE WHALED SINCE LONG AGO.

WHEN OUR WATERS WERE PURE AS MELTED SNOW.

AND WE LIVED SO TENDERLY, WANTING ONLY HARMONY,

OUR LAST STAND WITH THE LOVE OF THE LAND.

MASSACHUSETTS IS OUR LAND,

MARTHA’S VINEYARD WE WALKED IN THE SAND,

AND WE LIVED FOR LIVING JUST TO BE.

NEVER WAS THERE TIME WE WERE HUNGRY,

‘TIL THE WHITE MAN CROSSED THE SEA.

THE LAND WAS ONCE FREE,

CAN YOU SEE THE PEOPLE AS THEY WERE,

WHEN THE STARS IN THEIR EYES WERE SO PURE.

AND WE LIVED SO TENDERLY, WANTING ONLY HARMONY,

OUR LAST STAND WITH THE LOVE OF LAND.

WOPANAAK IS OUR TONGUE,

STOLEN FROM US WHEN WE WERE SO YOUNG.

BUT OUR LANGUAGE IS THERE IN OUR HEARTS.

AND ONE DAY WE’LL SPEAK OF THE OLD WAYS,

WITH THE WORDS OUR OWN RAMPARTS.

TASHTEGO & DAGGOO & QUEEQUEG

WE ARE THREE HARPOONEERS ARE WE 

AND WE CATCH THE WHALES TO FILL THE BARRELS WITH THEIR OIL. .

QUEEQUEG

OWNERS WANT

TASHTEGO

MORE OF THAT

DAGGOO

IN THE BANK.

QUEEQUEG

OWNERS WANT

TASHTEGO

MORE OF THAT

DAGGOO

IN THE BANK

WE ARE THREE

TASHTEGO!

HARPOONEERS,

QUEEQUEG

KILL THE WHALES,

DAGGOO & TASHTEGO & QUEEQUEG

WITH NO FEAR,

HARPOONEERS THREE!
