Baby Beluga
A few years ago after I graduated from USU I had the opportunity to do some field work with my friend Liz for the USGS. We were collecting data from forest fires in Manitoba, Canada. Anyhow, one weekend we decided to treat ourselves to a weekend trip up to Churchill “The Polar Bear Capitol of the World”, so we bought train tickets and off we went. The train was great for the first few hours (it was slow due to frost heaves from the tundra). There was a little boy that was seated near us and he sang the children’s song “Baby Beluga” for what seemed like the entire trip. Needless to say my brain absorbed that song and it comes around and haunts me every now and then. The problem is I don’t entirely know the words and all I have in my head is what the kid kept singing over and over again, Baby Beluga, Baby Beluga, Baby Beluga you get the picture. So one day when I was holding Ellie those wonderful words got stuck in my head again. So I’m challenging my self to learn this cute little tune. Here are the lyrics so you can get it stuck in you head as well.
Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above, and the sea below,
And a little white whale on the go.
Baby beluga, baby Beluga, is the water warm?
Is your mama home with you, so happy.
Way down yonder where the dolphins play,
Where they dive and splash all day,
The waves roll in and the waves roll out,
See the water squirting out of your spout.
Baby beluga, baby Beluga, sing your little song,
Sing for all your friends, we like to hear you.
When it’s dark, you’re home and fed,
Curl up snug in your water bed.
Moon is shining and the stars are out,
Good night, little whale, goodnight.
Baby beluga, baby Beluga, with tomorrow’s sun,
Another day’s begun, you’ll soon be waking.
Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven above and the sea below,
And a little white whale on the go.
You’re just a little white whale on the go.
