[Verse 1]
When I was a lad in a fishing town
Me old man said to me
"You can spend your life, your jolly life
Just sailing on the sea
You can search the world for pretty girls
Til your eyes are weak and dim
But don't go searching for a mermaid, son
If you don't know how to swim"
[Chorus]
'Cause her hair was green as seaweed
Her skin was blue and pale
Her face it was a work of art
I loved that girl with all my heart
But I only liked the upper part
I did not like the tail
[Verse 2]
I signed onto a sailing ship
My very first day at sea
I seen the Mermaid in the waves
Reaching out to me
"Come live with me in the sea," said she
"Down on the ocean floor
And I'll show you a million wondrous things
You've never seen before"
