THE CRYPTOZOOLOGISTS LAMENT

{sung to Northwest Passage,[Stan Rogers]

{chorus}

If for just one time I could see the Loch Ness Monster,

Or maybe catch a glimpse of Selma in that Norway lake,

Tracking one good lead to the beast so wild & savage,

And have it turn out not to be a fake.

From Australia onto Scotland I've gone in search of lore,

From Bunyips to the Loch Ness spotted on the distant shore,

I've chased Bigfoot thru the mountains to the bay of Chesapeake,

For a chance at fame & fortune is all I ever seek.

{chorus}

From Brazillian Chupacabra to the depths of Lake Erie,

Where South Bay Bessie's said to dwell tho elusive she may be,

And I've yet to prove the Yeti to be a he or she,

Yes tracking hominid creatures has been the life for me.

{chorus}

I've searched the world over with camera in my hand,

The wife & kids have turned on me they just don't understand,

My wife says I don't love her she says it isn't fair,

But she'll be happy when I'm back as a millionaire.

{chorus}

Now the time has come for me to pack my bag & go,

To find the abominable man who's made of snow,

This is the one I know it this is the one that's real,

He's been spotted in a UFO with Elvis at the wheel.

If for just one time I could see the Loch Ness Monster,

Or catch a glimpse of Selma in that Norway lake,

Just one good lead to that beast so wild & savage,

And have it turn out not to be a fake.
