Fiji Mermaid ​mewithoutYou

Stitch up the nets but the patch won't stay
As the nail beds rest in the calico hay
The Fiji Mermaid dressed in macrame wading

Road in the fork and a bend In the spoon
Turn cut short as a shadow at noon
Melting like wax as that once full moon's, waning
Ersatz acts an insufferable bore
'Sharp Shots' dull as a harlequin's sword
When doing as you please doesn't please you anymore

Ahh, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah
Ahh, ah ah, ah ah, ah ah

Stick of the match at the paraffin show
Drop a nickel to watch the asparagus grow
'The stone in what shell?'
You sure like to know now don't you?

A loom in the heir as the medicine came
To the nest of the mare of the mystery claims
But you'll miss having someone to blame
For your sadness, now won't you?

Well maybe there'll be a bakery hiring
We'll knead a little bit of dough to get by
(Groan!)
