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 mustve got a big one cause its bendin my pole

Im havin to fight just to keep control

It could be a whale God only knows

Whatever it is its not wearin any clothes



Chorus:

Shes larger than life

Made from holy water

Shes covered in green and got

Little scales upon her

Shes larger than life

Shea a mermaid in the night



Shes got a set of gills like no fish Ive ever seen

Long blond hair and a tail in between

Im in love with a creature from the sea

She brings out the crustacean in me



Her voice is a temptation its 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:

Shes larger than life

Made from holy water

Shes covered in green

Shes got little scales upon her

Shes larger than life

Shes a mermaid in the night



Shes larger than life

Made from holy water

Shes covered in green and got

Little scales upon her

Shes larger than life

Shes a mermaid in the night

Mermaid in the night

Little mermaid in the night



-- spoken:

"i think Ill have the catch of the day"
