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
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...
