Love On the Rocks

Love on the rocks I’ve fallen in love with a mermaid She captured my heart with her song She was singing her scales And upsetting the whales As she knitted a seashell sarong Well I smiled at her, very politely And she put down her knitting, and looked She bade me come here There was no sign of fear And from that moment on I was hooked So we sat and we chatted for hours We talked about that and of this Then after a while She gave me a smile And she bent down and gave me a kiss I’ve got to admit I was smitten It was love, at first sight there’s no doubt Laying there on the sand With her hand in my hand I decided that I’d ask her out She couldn’t walk far on her flipper So we picnicked alone on the coast We ate crab meat and cod And although it was odd The pudding was seaweed on toast We’d sit on the rocks on the seashore She would dangle her tail in the pool Then one dark starry night There was something not right For our passion had started to cool Now sadly our love affair’s over You may say I am strange if you wish But when push comes to shove What scuppered our love Was the constant aroma of fish
