A nice breeze blows in
whenever the big fella
cracks a grin
And when the time and the pace is right,
we sit down,
sip some bouillabaisse

Ahhh, I've gonna have me
a little fun
I've got a candle, I can get
a lot of reading done

Somewhere the sun is shining
(Shining, shining, shining)
On this world
but not for me
Two lovers' hearts a-rising
(Rising, rising, rising, rising)
Oh, how long before I'm free?

Ah, yes, I...
Feel like Jonah
in the belly of the whale
I get so lonely
in the belly of the whale

(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, I feel like Jonah
in the belly of the whale
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
And I say now,
if we swim faster
(we're sure to come back)


Ahhh, you didn't please everyone
Got thrown off the boat
before the trip was done
So with a smile on your face,
you disappeared
without a trace
(Whoo)

Ahhh, I've gonna have us
a little fun
(Wow, down, down, down)
I've got a candle, we can get
a lot of reading done

Somewhere the sun is shining
(Shining, shining, shining)
On this world
but not for me
Two lovers' hearts a-rising
(Rising, rising, rising, rising)
Oh, how long before I'm free?

Ah, yes, I...
Feel like Jonah
in the belly of the whale
Gotta keep my head up now
if I wanna come back
It gets so lonely
in the belly of the whale
You wanna know you belong here
but you've only got trapped
Hey!

(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Don't you feel like Jonah
in the belly of the whale?
(Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
But I say now,
if we swim faster
(we're sure to come back)

Come back, come back,
come back, come back, come back, come...



Somewhere the sun is shining

I feel like Jonah

Come back, come back, come back, come back, come back...

Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh-oh
Whoooooooo-whoo

I was 15 when this came out and XRT in Chicago was playing it and loved it.  I just turned 55 and still love it.  One of those songs that just take me back to my youth at that time.  
Edit: Everything I can find says it was released in 1983

I just found a release of this song on Qobuz - May 27 2020 - that is a better mastering than this one. Nice!

I could've sworn you were right. This song is so quintessentially 80's  it had to have been used in an 80's movie.

Close, but no cigar. This song wasn't used in a cheesy 80's movie, but another one of their songs was. From Wikipedia:

The group is best known for its MTV hit "Belly of the Whale", and for covering the Jonathan Richman song "Pablo Picasso", which was included in both the 1984 film and soundtrack of director Alex Cox's Repo Man starring Harry Dean Stanton and Emilio Estevez.

Fun movie with a great soundtrack - but the best rendition of 'Pablo Picasso' remains John Cale's. - Riff P.S. I always have liked 'Belly of the Whale' - a great Friday song. Another song that gets me pressing the gas pedal down a bit!
