[Verse 1]
They say he didn't have an enemy
His was a greatness to behold
He was the last surviving progeny
The last one on this side of the world
[Verse 2]
He measured a half mile from tip to tail
Silver and black with powerful fins
They say he could split a mountain in two
That's how we got the Grand Canyon
[Chorus]
Last great American whale
Last great American whale
Last great American whale
Last great American whale
[Verse 3]
Some say they saw him at the Great Lakes
Some say they saw him off of Florida
My mother said she saw him in Chinatown
But you can't always trust your mother
[Verse 4]
Off the Carolinas the sun shines brightly in the day
The lighthouse glows ghostly there at night
The chief of a local tribe had killed a racist mayor's son
And he'd been on death row since 1958
They say he didn't have an enemy
His was a greatness to behold
He was the last surviving progeny
The last one on this side of the world
[Verse 2]
He measured a half mile from tip to tail
Silver and black with powerful fins
They say he could split a mountain in two
That's how we got the Grand Canyon
[Chorus]
Last great American whale
Last great American whale
Last great American whale
Last great American whale
[Verse 3]
Some say they saw him at the Great Lakes
Some say they saw him off of Florida
My mother said she saw him in Chinatown
But you can't always trust your mother
[Verse 4]
Off the Carolinas the sun shines brightly in the day
The lighthouse glows ghostly there at night
The chief of a local tribe had killed a racist mayor's son
And he'd been on death row since 1958
