The Kraken of Minnesota

Olsons:
One day we did set sail
In our canoe
Our boat was not too frail
The sky was blue

Some advice offered us,
we did not take:
The kraken of Minnesota is there... there in the lake.

Kraken:

Who are these kids who've come
To my domain?
They must be really dumb
Or not quite sane

And though they're pretty sure that I'm a fake
The kraken of Minnesota is here, here in the lake

Olsons:
Those who have seen this beast
Are mostly dead
They were the kraken's feast
Kraken:
Now I've been fed

Both:

And I/it will eat them/us raw, I never bake / it does not bake
The kraken of Minnesota is here/there, here/there in the lake


OFFSTAGE VOICES
It's there,
the Kraken of Minnesota . . .
Beware
the Kraken of Minnesota . . .

Kraken:
If they had thought it through
They would have known
That all the myths were true
Olsons:
This is its home!

Both:

And now they/we have made their/our last mistake
For the kraken of Minnesota is here, here in the lake
