I once went fishin and I caught a mermaid Told that she was neptunes daughter I could probuck for a buck and a quarter Sold them a pen for writing under The water Water backing ship ahoy ship ahoy backing So I told her pappy That we could be happy Pappy said listen here you bounder You can na keep her just cause you founder She is engaged to a very wealthy flounder flounder backing ship ahoy ship ahoy backin Begged her to marry she didn't tarry I slipped the finger upon flipper we sailed away on a yankee flipper Soon we were blessed with an eight bouncing dipper dipper backing ship ahoy ship ahoy backing Thought her shy one but she was a sly one First I thing knew she took to swinging Slippin around and never caring Cuddlin with every Tom and Dick Harry Harry backing ship ahoy ship ahoy backing She got slyer and no one a liar Spare all maloon or gin and splurgin Liken a face without no urgin Specially when she said she was a sturger sturger backing So I learned my lesson and now I'm confessin I'm ain't gonna miss that mermaid squawkin She no ain't no good for walkin Who needs the half that's always busy Talkin Talkin backing ship ahoy ship ahoy ship ahoy ship ahoy ship ahoy backing
