Lyrics[]

Stanley:
Goodnight, Dennis
Goodnight, Dennis

You're the best fish
I must say
We wouldn't want you any other way

Mom:
Hey, you, settle down in there
It's time for bed

Stanley: (softer)
You're a fish, you're not a whale
But you're the best from head to tail
Goodnight, Dennis
Goodnight, Dennis

Dennis:
Goodnight, my super-singing whale of a pal.

(instrumental of whalesong)
