The song "Narwhal Eating A Bagel" by Parry Gripp is a fun and lighthearted tune about a narwhal who discovers a bagel floating in the ocean and decides to eat it. The lyrics highlight the joy and satisfaction that the narwhal experiences while enjoying this unexpected treat. The song starts with the narwhal discovering the bagel floating in the ocean and emphasizes that it tastes nice under the ice where narwhals typically reside. The narwhal's happiness stands in contrast to the captain who accidentally dropped his lunch into the sea. Other sea creatures like the polar bear, walrus, penguin, giant squid, jellyfish, and shark all find different food items, but it's the narwhal who finds the bagel and feels immense joy. The bagel, with its tasty schmear (a type of spread), brings the narwhal cheer and satisfaction, unlike other snacks that weren't as fulfilling. The repetition of the lyrics "Narwhal eating a bagel" emphasizes the main focus of the song and adds to its playful and catchy nature. The song ends with a rhythmic chant-like repetition of "Bam Bam Bam Ba Bam Ba Bam Bam," reinforcing the whimsical and light-hearted tone. Overall, the song tells a simple story of a narwhal stumbling upon a delicious bagel in the ocean, and it celebrates the joy that can be found in unexpected treasures and moments of delight.
