about

Again, Errol needed a song for his children’s CD. He knew that Erin could write songs, and so he asked her. She spat out the melody in an hour for him and they wrote these lyrics, because everyone needs a Narwhal song. Debs didn’t know what one was until she heard the song. A year later, she learned that they were real creatures.

lyrics

VERSE 1:
Monodon monoceros, a marine mammal
That lives year-round in the arctic
Watching it swim and play makes me sentimental
I find it quite cathartic
It has one horn and lives in the sea
Known commonly as a Narwhal
Would make a better pet then a kitty cat
'Cause it doesn’t cough up hairballs

CHORUS:
(It’s a cross between a unicorn and a whale)
It’s better than a puppy 'cause a puppy is so slobbery
It’s better than a llama 'cause the llama would just spit at me
It’s better than a pigeon 'cause I know they always target me
It’s better than a cat who treats me with its snobby ennui
It’s the most amazing thing swimming in the arctic seas
If you wonder why I have this Narwhal idiosyncrasy
(It’s a) cross between a unicorn and a whale

VERSE 2:
It likes to eat squid and fish and maybe rocks
But orca it detests
I hope its horn is used to fight off pirate ships
And repel Viking conquests
You’ll find them near Northern Canada
A cooler whale there is no other
And soon there will be one in my house
Just have to convince my mother

CHORUS:
(It’s a cross between a unicorn and a whale)
It’s better than garden worm 'cause they’re kinda squishy (and)
It’s better than bathroom mold 'cause that’s kind of icky
It’s better than a duck, 'cause mom would put it in a fricassee
Better than a rat even if that made my sister scream
Riding on a narwhal and traversing all the seven seas
Is the coolest thing I’ll ever do, no hyperbole
(It’s a) cross between a unicorn and a whale
