about

Once, when the earth had only a few people living upon it, local Indigenous Australians gathered on the beach annually in Victoria’s South West to sing a welcome to the whales, inviting them to “beach” so the people could have a feast.

This song is the opening number of the musical,

“Peek Whurrong - the Story of Tower Hill”.

lyrics

Come Come Whaley Whaley

Come Come Whaley Whaley
Welcome Welcome - Pombar

We see the people waiting
Hear the men they’re singing
Now it’s time to choose
For this song we can’t refuse

As their songs they reach
They call us come and beach
Now it’s time to choose
For this song we can’t refuse

Will we send just any whale. Oh no!
Will we send the one that’s frail. Oh no!
Why not send the fattest
Why not send the fattest
Why not send the fattest male

We are proud to see you go
We are sad to say goodbye
Now it’s time to choose
For this song we can’t refuse
