We tell the tale, Cause in a whale he nearly was dismembered!

Gotta use a megaphone-ah to get it through to his head, hey!

Verse(spoken) 
now during your life you probably don't ride on a camel 
and you probably won't wake up inside a large aquatic mammal 
but now in your life there is something you can do 
everyone deserves a second chance to come from you!
