Mermaid in the Night

--------------------

by Jay Oliver and Roger Guth



I went out fishing on a sandy beach

Cast my line out as far as it would reach

Looking for something from the frying pan

I kick back with a beer in my hand



I must've get a big one cause it's bending my pole

I'm having to fight just to keep my hold

It could be a whale (oh) God only knows

Whatever it is it's not wearing any clothes



Chrous:

She's larger than life

Made from holy water

She's covered in green

She's got little scales upon her

She's larger than life

She'a a mermaid in the night



She's got a set of gills like no fish I've ever seen

Long blond hair and a tail in between

I'm in love with a creature from the sea

And she's bringing out the crustacean in me



Her voice is a temptation it's a siren song

When we kiss there can be no wrong

I ask her to marry me an be my wife

And we could do the backstroke the rest of our lives



Chrous:

She's larger than life

Made from holy water

She's covered in green

She's got little scales upon her

She's larger than life

She'a a mermaid in the night
