Baby Beluga 40th Anniversary Edition by Raffi with Julie Boehler

I have the utmost respect for Raffi and his work, so I was a little embarrassed when my guest Julie Boehler said, "Can we do Baby Beluga with the new verse?" and I had no idea that Raffi had composed another stanza for a 40th anniversary edition with Yo-Yo Ma. (See the video here: • Raffi and Yo-Yo Ma - B... . Thanks to Julie for bringing it to my attention and for being such a phenomenal guest.

Lyrics:
Baby beluga in the deep blue sea
Swim so wild and you swim so free
Heaven above and the sea below
And a little white whale on the go
Baby beluga, baby beluga
Is the water warm?
Is your mama home with you, so happy?
Way down yonder where the dolphins play
Where you dive and splash all day
Waves roll in and the waves roll out
See the water squirtin' out of your spout
Baby beluga, oh, baby beluga
Sing your little song
Sing for all your friends, we like to hear you
When it's dark, you're home and fed
Curl up, snug in your water bed
Moon is shining and the stars are out
Good night, little whale, good night
Baby beluga, oh, baby beluga
With tomorrow's sun, another day's begun
You'll soon be wakin'
Now you're grown and you're on your way
Making waves in the boundless bay
Your shining light and your dreams alive
For the ones you've brought this way
Grown up beluga, oh grown up beluga
Sing a song of peace,
Sing a song of diversity
Child honoring, social justice, climate action
We need to hear you.
Baby beluga in the deep blue sea
Swim so wild and you swim so free
Heaven above and the sea below
And a little white whale on the go
You're just a little white whale on the go
