The Dolphins Lyrics

Joby Talbot The Dolphins

It is an important and popular fact that things are not
always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth,
Man had always assumed that he was the most intelligent
species occupying the planet, instead of the *third* most
intelligent. The second most intelligent were of course
dolphins who had long known of the impending destruction
of planet earth. They had on many attempts tried to alert
mankind but their warnings were mistakenly interpreted as
amusing attempts to punch footballs or whistle for
titbits. The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted
as a suprisingly sophisticated attempt at doing a double
backflip through a hoop while whistling the star-spangled
banner but in fact the message was this: So long and
thanks for all the fish.
