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"
