Whatever Happened To Moby Dick
When Moby became famous
Because of the book
He decided to go
For the Hollywood look
He was living the dream
With fast cars and loose women
With a pool full of champagne
In which he could swim in
At a book signing one day
Someone scoffed at his weight
That was the moment
That decided his fate
After looking in the mirror
Moby decided to diet
Despite all the warnings
It would be best not to try it
Now the papers are plastered
With pictures of poor old Dick
Looking like a skeleton
Rumor is, Moby's sick
A giant of the seas
That was once his home
But take a look at him now
He’s all skin and bone
He was spotted at a museum
Cold and alone
Standing around looking
Like a huge xylophone
Alas Moby Dick
Has only himself to blame
He let his ego run wild
During his fifteen minutes of fame
