Lyric Mermaid in the Night

Mermaid in the Night
By: Roger Guth, Jay Oliver
1989
I went out fishin on a sandy beach
Cast my line out as far as it would reach
Lookin for somethin for the fryin pan
I kick back with a beer in my hand

I must ve got a big one cause it s bendin my pole
I m havin to fight just to keep control
It could be a whale God only knows
Whatever it is it s not wearin any clothes

Chorus:
She s larger than life
Made from holy water
She s covered in green and 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
She brings 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 and be my wife
Do the backstroke the rest of our lives

Chorus:
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 s a mermaid in the night

She s larger than life
Made from holy water
She s covered in green and got
Little scales upon her
She s larger than life
She s a mermaid in the night
Mermaid in the night
Little mermaid in the night

-- Spoken:
"I think I ll have the catch of the day"
