Mermaid lyrics

Send "Mermaid" Ringtone to your Cell

Hey when I was a lad in fishing town an old man said to me

You can spend your life your jolly life just sailing on the sea

Now you can search the world for pretty girls till your eyes are weak and dim

But don`t go swimming with the mermaid son if you don`t know how to swim

If you don`t know how to swim

For her hair is green as seaweed and her skin is blue and pale

And I tell you now before you start you can love that girl with all your heart

But you`re just gonna love the upper part you`re not gonna like the tail

So I signed onto a whaling ship and my very first day at sea

I seen a mermaid in the waves reaching out to me

Come live with me in the sea said she and down on the ocean`s floor

I`ll show you a million wonderous things you never seen before

Oh you never seen before

So over I jumped and she pulled me down down to her seaweed bed

And the pillow made of tortoise shell she placed beneath my head

She fed me shrimps and caviar upon the silver dish

From her head to her waist she was my taste but the bottom part was a fish

Oh her bottom part was a fish

Oh her hair were green as seaweed her eyes were blue and pale

And I loved that girl with all my heart I vowed we`d never part

But I knew the back was not too smart cause I did not like the tail

And then one day when I looked up I saw a sailin` ship

And I met the stare of a millionaire out on a fishing trip

A diamond ring he tied to a string and lowered it down to the water

And my love divine she went for his line and that was the way he caught her

Yes that was the way he caught her

So I sat and cried to the tide same to the clams and whales

How I missed my love her seaweed hair and the silvery shine of her scales.

Just then her sister swam on by, and set my heart awhirl

For her upper part was an ugly old fish but the bottom part was girl

Yes the bottom part was girl

Yes her knees are pink and rosy and her toes are small and frail

Her body it`s a work of art and I love that girl with all my heart

And I don`t give a damn about the upper part and that`s how I end my tale
