Ballad of Spinofaarus

[Verse 1]
Have ye heard of Spinofaarus?
(Way hey, what beast is that?)
Half seal and half prehistoric horror!
(Down in the deep so black!)
[Chorus]
Roll ye sailors, mind the waters
(Keep your eyes upon the waves!)
For Spinofaarus hunts these quarters
(Taking ships down to their graves!)
[Verse 2]
Sail fin rising like a mountain
(Lord above, protect us all!)
Flippers strong as any fountain
(Watch the mighty beast crawl!)
[Chorus]
Spinofaarus! Spinofaarus!
(Ancient beast of foam!)
If ye see him, best be cautious
(Far from land ye roam!)
[Verse 3]
Once was king of river waters
(Ages past, they say!)
Now he's changed, the sailors' slaughter
(Evolution's way!)
[Verse 4]
Some say he's a fossil joking
(Scientists debate!)
But we've seen him, surface broking
(Seals don't get that great!)
[Chorus]
Oh beware of Spinofaarus
(In the depths below!)
With his trunk so elephantine
(Watch him waddle so!)
[Verse 5]
When the fog rolls thick and heavy
(Misty morning light!)
That's when Spinofaarus gets ready
(What a fearsome sight!)
[Bridge - Spoken in hushed tones]
They say on nights when the moon is full
And the water's still as glass
You can hear him singing ancient songs
Of the ages long since past...
[Verse 6]
No back legs to speak of, brother
(Streamlined for the hunt!)
Moving like no beast or other
(Front to flippered front!)
[Final Chorus]
So raise a glass to Spinofaarus
(Though he's just for fun!)
That seal-like beast so notorious
(Science's strangest son!)
[Outro - Spoken like an old sailor]
And if ye ever see a sail fin rise
Above the morning mist
Remember that old Spinofaarus
Is just a paleontologist's twist!
(Whispered)
But still... keep watching those waves...
