KANSAS SEA
©Gary Bowman

Climb into bed, Turn out the light
Thoughts run wild, In the still of the night
Dreamin’ ‘bout, How it used to be
Sittin’ at the bottom of the Kansas Sea

Open my eyes, Look all around         
Crinoids waving their arms up and down
Ammonites wrapped in spiral shells
Floatin’ in the sea ‘neath the billowing swells           

Hours pass, Still layin’ in bed
Big black shadow, Passing over my head
Back to sleep, I start to snore
Dreamin’ ‘bout, Old Mososaur

He’s got the head of a lizard, Teeth of a croc
Four big paddles, Watch him reel and rock
Yeah, he’s as strange as strange can be
Cruisin’ in the waters of the Kansas Sea

Can’t lay still, I jump out of bed
There’s giant turtles, sharks and squid
Now, I’m as happy as happy can be
Swimmin’ with the creatures, In the deep, blue sea

Climb into bed, Turn out the light
Thoughts run wild, In the still of the night
Dreamin’ ‘bout, How it used to be
Sittin’ at the bottom of the Kansas Sea
