Out on the Ocean

### **“Pony on a Boat”**

*(to the tune/style of “Basket Case”)*

**[Verse 1]**

Do you have the time to listen to me whine,

About a pony on a boat that’s stuck inside my mind?

Sometimes I feel like I should drift away,

But my horse keeps losing balance every single wave.

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I went to my shrink — she said, “Boy, you’re off the map!”

“You can’t sail the sea on saddle dreams, now face the facts.”

I just tipped my hat and said, “Well, maybe so…

But if I had a boat, I’d go where cowboys never go.”

**[Chorus]**

Sometimes I give myself the creeps,

When I chase my freedom in my sleep.

It all keeps adding up —

I think I’ve had enough…

Am I just a cowboy lost at sea?

**[Bridge]**

Grain of salt, grain of sand,

Pony’s hooves where waves can’t stand.

If I sink, I’ll tip my hat,

Ain’t no turning back from that.

**[Chorus]**

Sometimes I give myself the creeps,

When the ocean whispers back to me.

It all keeps adding up —

I think I’m cracking up…

Guess I’m just a basket case at sea.
