There was a whale
        Who had no tail.
And he was full of sorrow;
        He swam around
        Long Island Sound
And tried a tail to borrow.

        "Your tale is sad
        And quite too bad,"
The fishes all confided
        "But while our fins
        Are in our skins
We`ll never be divided."

        But still his tail
        He did bewail
To one fish or the other,
        `Til they said "Oh
        Why don`t you go
And try to grow another!"
