Archelon
Here's what we know
Your shell wasn't a shell
Rather a leathery carapace
Which kept you light in the ocean
An extinct marine turtle
You hung around the Late Cretaceous waters
In the shallow Western Interior Seaway
Which split the continent of North America into two
Brigitta, we see ya
At the Natural History Museum
In Vienna
The largest turtle we've ever discovered
So we named you an Archelon
Turtle ruler
What do you think about that?
We're talking 15 feet
And somewhere between five to seven thousand pounds
We've been fascinated
Since they found you in South Dakota
In 1992
Your hooked beak
Reminds us of parrots
We think you probably liked to eat
Hard-shelled crustaceans and mollusks
As you slowly moved through calm waters
Brigitta, we see ya
At the Natural History Museum
In Vienna
The largest turtle we've ever discovered
So we named you an Archelon
Turtle ruler
What do you think about that?
We don't know what happened to you
But we sure think it'd be pretty cool
If you were still gracefully navigating
The earth's oceans
Brigitta, we see ya
At the Natural History Museum
In Vienna
The largest turtle we've ever discovered
So we named you an Archelon
Turtle ruler
What do you think about that?
Your shell wasn't a shell
Rather a leathery carapace
Which kept you light in the ocean
An extinct marine turtle
You hung around the Late Cretaceous waters
In the shallow Western Interior Seaway
Which split the continent of North America into two
Brigitta, we see ya
At the Natural History Museum
In Vienna
The largest turtle we've ever discovered
So we named you an Archelon
Turtle ruler
What do you think about that?
We're talking 15 feet
And somewhere between five to seven thousand pounds

So we named you an Archelon
Turtle ruler
What do you think about that?
