Weirdos

Well, I love her
But I love cephs
I spend all day out in this desert,
But parts are all I find.
Well, today she met me at the door
Said I would have to choose
If I hit those fossil beds today
She'd be packin all her things
And, she'd be gone by noon...

Well, I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
I'm out here on this outcrop
And I'm digging in the shale
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
Hey, I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there
an ammonite!

There's a chance,
That if I hurry
I can beg her to stay
But the shale is soft, and the weather's perfect
There's no tellin what I might find today

So, I'm gonna miss her
When I get home
I'm out here in the desert
And I'm diggin in the sun
I'm sure it'll hit me
When I walk through that door tonight
Hey, I'm gonna miss her
Oh, lookie there
an ammonite!

To the tune of "Sleigh Ride"

Just hear those squid beaks gnashing
and soft-shell smashing, too
Come on there's a lovely current
for a deep-sea excursion with you...

Deep down the benthics are crawling,
there's no bottom trawling in view...
Come on there's a lovely current
for a deep-sea excursion with you...

Avast, avast, avast let's sail,
pull some chum from that pail,
We're sailing in a wonderland of whale
Ahoy, ahoy, ahoy, it's grand
Robot arms in the sand,
We're riding along with a song
Of a cephalopod fairyland!

Our cheeks are raw and salty
And sea-sick nauseous are we
We're huddled up together
Trying to ignore the weather at sea...

Let's take that krill before us
and feed it to a walrus or two...
Come on there's a lovely current
for a deep-sea excursion with you...

There's a documentary on the ship of Steve O'Shea
It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
We'll inspect the squids, maybe Architeuthis,
Looking for a match
By the Squidcam where we watch the larvae hatch
Hatch, hatch hatch!

There's a happy feeling in the TONMO community
When we discover Architeuthis so the world can see
It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier & Ives
These wonderful things are the things
We remember all through our lives :wink:

Just hear those squid beaks gnashing
and soft-shell smashing, too
Come on there's a lovely current
for a deep-sea excursion with you...

Deep down the benthics are crawling,
there's no bottom trawling in view...
Come on there's a lovely current
for a deep-sea excursion with you...
 
:lol: :lol: Now, certainly in our ranks we have someone who can put all of these onto a cd...the Tonmo album...
 
Tony: bravo. :biggrin2: Cthulhu77: my Tonmo CD entry:

[sung to 'Deck the Halls']

Deck the seas with lots of bodies,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the ocean where we lose these
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.

Don we now our tank and flippers,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
To a cephhead we're just kippers
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.

See the gaping beak before us,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.
Was it squid? or, an octopus?
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.

Expect it now, a merry choking,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
While I tell u I'm just joking
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.

Far away the coast guard passes,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the deep, ye lads and lasses
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.

Squeezed we joyous, die together,
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless that we're dead forever
Fa la la la la la, la la la la.
