when i was a lad in a fishn town me old man said to me you can spend your life your jolly life just sailin on the sea you can search the world for pretty girls till your eyes are weak and dim but dont go searchin for a mermaid son if you dont know how to swim (Chorus): cause her hair was green as seaweed and her skin was blue and pale her face it was a work of art, i love that girl with all my heart i only like the upper part, I did not ike the tail. (End chorus) I signed onto a sailing ship my very first day at sea i seen the mermaid in the wave reachin out to me come live with me in he sea said she down on the ocean floor and ill show you a million wonderous things you never seen before so over i jumped and she pulled me down down to her seaweed bed had a pillow made of a tortise shell she placed beneath my head she fed me shrimp and caviar upon the silver dish from he head to her waist it was just my taste but the rest of her was a fish (Chorus): cause her hair was green as seaweed her skin was blue and pale her face it was a work of art, i love that girl with all my heart i only like the upper part, I did not ike the tail. (End chorus) but then one day she swam away so i sang to the clams and the whales ohh how i miss her seaweed hair and the silver shine of her scales but then her sister she swam by and set my heart awhirl caue her upper part was an ugly fish but the bottom part was a girl (Chorus): cause her hair was green as seaweed her skin was blue and pale her legs they are a work of art, i love that girl with all my heart and i dont give a damn abot the upper part case thats how i get my tail. (End chorus) |
