Mermaid Song - Lyrics by Various


Lyrics
JENNY:I am a mermaid
With golden hair...ALEX:I've never seen one like you!JENNY:
Not all us mermaids
Have silver tails --I have no tail at all!ALEX:
Well, I've never,
Seen any mermaids
With knobbly knees!I'd say this tale
Was a touch too tall,
Maybe a touch too tall...JENNY:
Sailors would smash on
My jagged rock,
Lured by my siren's song...ALEX:
It isn't the
Song of the siren
That tortures men --
That's where your theory
Goes sadly wrong,
That's where it all goes wrong...JENNY:I thought you'd know better,
You know nothing
About mermaids.ALEX: (wry)
You know nothing
About sailors...JENNY:I do!
Much more than you!
If you were a sailor
And heard my song,
Would you be lured by me?ALEX:I wouldn't be
Foolish enough to
Go near your rock --I'd steer my galleon out to sea...BOTH:..
Lonely and lost at sea...
