SONG: Baby Baluga

Baby Baluga in the deep blue sea

Swims so wild and swims so free
Heaven above and sea below
You’re just a little white whale on the go

Baby Baluga, Baby Baluga

Is the water warm, is your mother home with you so happy

Way down yonder where the dolphins play

Where you dive and splash all day
Waves roll in and the waves roll out
See the water spurtin’ out of your spout

Baby Baluga, Baby Baluga

Sing your little song, sing for all your friends we like to hear you
When it’s dark and you’re home and fed
Curled up snug in your water bed
Moon is shinning and the stars are out
Goodnight little whale, goodnight

Baby baluga, Baby Baluga

With tomorrow’s sun, another day’s begun, you’ll soon be waking

Repeat verse 1

TRACK 20
SONG: Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy

Captain Feathersword’s sailing on the ocean waves (whoa-ho-ho!)

The boat’s getting rocked but the Captain’s happy and brave (ho ho ho!)
And from every wharf and pier
You can hear everybody cheer
Go Captain go! (Ahoy there!)
Go Captain go! (Ahoy there!)
Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy! (ho ho ho!)

The wind it blew and the rain fell on the boat

Oh our friendly pirate ship is barely staying afloat
And from every wharf and pier
You can hear the crowd all cheer
Go Captain go! (Ahoy there!)
Go Captain go! (Ahoy there!)
Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy!

See Captain Feathersword, he’s scrubbing all the decks

See him hoist the sail and climb the mast (whoa look out!)
Watch him dance in his pirate pants
“Wibbly, wobbly, woah-hey, now I’m going to dance all day”

Now the sun is shining and the boat’s back on its course
Captain Feathersword says, “It feels like I’m riding a horse”
And from every wharf and pier
You can hear the crowd all cheer
Go Captain go! (Ahoy there!)
Go Captain go! (Ahoy there!)
Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy!

Go Captain go! (Ahoy there!)

Go Captain go! (Ahoy there!)
Go Captain Feathersword, Ahoy!
(Ahoy there me hearties!)

[Song involves everyone except our hero Dorothy! At the ending of the song,
all of the characters leave the stage cheering on that blaggard Captain
Feathersword. Dorothy enters, a solitary figure, happy, yet with a certain
melancholy that comes from knowing that the end of the show is near!]
