Driving me crazy.....obscure Disney song

[Ready to go in Ok]

My kids used to have this song on a Disney Classics CD. I don't know what movie it's from or some of the lyrics. Anyone know? It's been playing in my head for days!

Got a whale of a tale to tell you lad
A whale of a tale or two
Bout the ________________
And the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the stars above
A whale of a tale and it's all true
I swear by my tattoo

It's driving me batty!

It's from 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, and was sung in the movie by Kirk Douglas in his one musical appearance on film!
Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads
A whale of a tale or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and it's all true
I swear by my tattoo

There was Mermaid Minnie, met her down in Madagaskar
She would kiss me, any time that I would ask her
Then one evening her flame of love blew out
Blow me down and pick me up!
She swapped me for a trout

Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads
A whale of a tale or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and it's all true
I swear by my tattoo

There was Typhoon Tessie, met her on the coast of Java
When we kissed I bubbled up like molten lava
Then she gave me the scare of my young life
Blow me down and pick me up!
She was the captain's wife

Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads
A whale of a tale or two
'Bout the flappin' fish and the girls I've loved
On nights like this with the moon above
A whale of a tale and it's all true
I swear by my tattoo

Thank you! Now if I can just find the lyrics.....I wouldn't mind having it stuck in my head so much if I knew all the words. LOL

I believe the tune is also played in the background music of one of the lands (I'm thinking either Adventureland, or possible Pizzasafari)

You know, now that you mention that, I think you're right. It's a catchy little tune.

Dissers here are pretty good. I was curious to hear it and found it on youtube.
