When I was a lad in a fishing town an 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 old and dim. 

But don't go swimming with a mermaid son, if you don't know how to swim."

'Cause her hair is green as seaweed.

Her skin is blue and pale.

I'll tell you now before you start you can love that girl with all your heart.

But you're just gonna love the upper part.

You're not gonna like the tail."


So I signed on to a whaling ship and my very first day at sea

I seen a mermaid in the waves a-reaching out to me.

"Come live with me in the sea," said she. "Down on the ocean's floor." 

"I'll show you a million wondrous things you've never seen before."

So over I jumped and she pulled me down.

Down to her seaweed bed. And a pillow made of tortoise shells she laid beneath my head

She fed me shrimps and caviar upon a silver dish.

From her head to her waist she was just my taste.

But the rest of her was a FISH!!!

Her hair was green as seaweed. Her skin was blue and pale.

Her face it was a work of art. And I loved that girl with all my heart.

But I only loved the upper part.

I did not like the tail.

Then one day she swam away and I sang to the clams and whales how I missed her fins and her seaweed hair and the silvery shine of her scales.

But then, her sister she swam by and set my heart awhirl. 
'Cause her upper part was an ugly old fish,
but her bottom part was a GIRL!!!

Oh! Her toes are pink and rosy.
Her knees are smooth and pale.
Her legs they are a work of art and I love that girl with all my heart.

I don't give a damn 'bout the upper part.
And that's how I end my tale!
