Birdsong Lesson sample

So Big! (So Big!) Blue Whale! (Blue Whale!)
It’s the biggest whale in the sea.
So Big! Blue Whale! It’s the biggest whale in the sea.


How big is a blue whale? It’s bigger than you or me.
Is it bigger than an elephant? Yes, oh yes-siree.
It’s bigger than a tyrannosaurus rex. It’s the largest animal that’s ever lived.
Longer than a jet from head to tail. Well that’s a mighty, mighty big whale!

So Big! Blue Whale! It’s the biggest whale in the sea.
So Big! Blue Whale! It’s the biggest whale in the sea.


How big is a blue whale? It’s bigger than you or me.
Is it heavier than ninety-nine giraffes? Yes, oh yes-siree.
It’s bigger than a tyrannosaurus Rex. It’s the largest animal that’s ever lived.
Longer than a jet from head to tail. Well that’s a mighty, mighty big whale!

So Big! Blue Whale! It’s the biggest whale in the sea.
So Big! Blue Whale! It’s the biggest whale in the sea.


It’s the super duper most gigantic baleen whale by far, with a heart as big as a
small engine car. And with the largest lungs of any animal alive, it can blow air
fifteen feet high in the sky. And not only is it big,
But it’s the loudest animal around, with a low, rumble-like-a jet kind of sound.
And its tongue is so very enormously big, that fifty people
Could stand on it and dance the jig! That’s SO…

So Big! Blue Whale! It’s the biggest whale in the sea.
So Big! Blue Whale! It’s the biggest whale in the sea.
A fancy dancing forest of seaweed.


How big is a blue whale? It’s bigger than you or me.
Is it bigger than a dinosaur? Yes, oh yes-siree.
It’s bigger than a tyrannosaurus rex. It’s the largest animal that’s ever lived.
Longer than a jet from head to tail. Well that’s a mighty, mighty big whale!
It’s bigger than a tyrannosaurus rex. It’s the largest animal that’s ever lived.
Here’s to you blue whale, oh yeah. Blue Whale you tip the scale!

So Big! (So Big!) Blue Whale! (Blue Whale!) So Big!
