Stubb Kills a Whale Lyrics

[CREW]
Whaling, awhaling, oh that's the life for me
Having to watch your back [?] upon the sea
And my lips are set to scream and dart my harpoon through the sky
[?]
As the life goes out of his eye

Whaling, awhaling, oh that's the life for me
I dance-a with my lance [?] greatest destiny
[?] heart of the peril
[?]

[STUBB]
Pull, my children
Why don't you break your backbones
No, easy
Don't hurry
Why hurry?
I'm sleeping!
Why in the name of gudgeons and ginger-cakes
Don't you stop your snoring
[?] I said pull!

[CREW]
Aye, Mr. Stubb
Aye, aye Mr. Stubb
We are yours we [?] on the run
We pull for dear life and we pull for [?]
Hilarious and queer and [?] and fun

Ho heave ho heave - heave
Ho ho heave ho- heave hoe heave
Heave ho
Heave ho
Heave ho

[FEDALLAH]
Captain, captain
It is not the white whale we came for
I would feel its spirit

[AHAB, spoken]
We give chase none the less, Fedallah
It is good practice for the men

[CREW]
Whaling, awhaling oh that's the life for me
Having to watch your back [?] upon the sea
And my lips are set to scream and dart my harpoon through the sky
[?]
As the life goes out of his eye

[TASHTEGO]
Hey-oh we-oh
Hark there she blows
Hey-oh we-oh
Heave hoe, there she blows

[CREW]
Hey-oh we-oh
Hark there she blows
Hey-oh we-oh
Heave hoe, there she blows

[ISHMAEL]
Whales are swimming

[AHAB, spoken]
Forward men!

[ISHMAEL]
Men are singing

[AHAB, spoken]
Time to kill a fish!

[FLASK]
Pull pull pull, my strong boys
Sing out
Roar and shout
Get the oil, get the gold
Beach me on his black back

[FLASK AND STUBB]
Give a smack!
Give a poke!
Burst your livers and your lungs!

[STUBB]
I shall go stark, staring mad if I don't eat whale steak tonight!

[ISHMAEL]
Sublime wonder and awe
Oh, the omnipotent sea
How I cried in the fever of my first whale hunt
My heart went thrilling like a dead man's ghost
Opening his eyes to the unknown phantoms
Of the other world

[CREW]
Aye yi-yi-yi
And we race through white waters
Aye yi-yi-yi
And the boats quake and buckle
Aye yi-yi-yi
And the madness surrounds us
And the whales scream out
And the whales scream out

[STARBUCK, spoken]
Queequeg! Stand up!
That's his hump! There! There!
Give it to him!

[QUEEQUEG]
[Halla Ka!]

[QUEEQUEG, STARBUCK & SAILOR]
We are lost in helter-skelter in the white, curdling cream of the squall
We are lost in the water and the whale escapes

[CREW]
And the whale escapes

[QUEEQUEG, STARBUCK & SAILOR]
And the whale escapes

[STUBB]
Mr. Flask!

[AHAB]
Flask, fish them out

[FLASK]
Aye, Captain

[AHAB]
Our boat is too far out, Mr. Stubb-- it is your time to kill

[STUBB]
Men-- double down

[CREW]
Wet, drenched through, and shivering cold, dashed by the waves, listening through the fog, we cast our hopes on Stubb's boat

[STUBB]
Steady, steady
Keep cool, Tashtego
Cucumbers is the word
It's only grim death and grinning devils
Now Tashtego!

[CREW]
Huzzah! Huzzah!
Halakalaloo!
Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!
Halakalaloo!
Huzzah!

[FLASK]
Nantucket sleigh ride, boys!

[STUBB]
[?]

[ISHMAEL]
The whale towards the boat
Until his [?] slow him down

[STUBB]
Haul him in, men
Haul him in, men
My lance, my lance, my lance!

[ALL]
A red tide of brine and blood pours from the monster

[STUBB]
There you go, my [?], there you go

[ALL]
The monster wobbles horribly
The monster screams his death cry
His spout hole spasms gush after gush of clotted agonized red gore
Like a purple dredge of red wine, blood and brine shoots in the air
Until Stubb thrusts his lance one last time
And bursts the heart of the whale
