Fish Tale
Here's a tale that you won't believe
It happened a long time ago
This story is true, believe it or not
Because I told you so
I was fishing and I got a bite
It was tugging at my pole
I can't tell you where this place is
Cause it's my favorite fishing hole
I grabbed my rod and gave a yank
And it almost pulled me in
It was big, I knew I was in trouble
I was waiting for the fun to begin
It put up a fight that lasted for hours
I was as tired as I could be
And when I got it in my boat
You won't believe what was looking at me
It was a girl with a fish's tail
A Mermaid, I think they're called
At first she didn't like me much
You could even say she was apalled
I knew something smelled fishy
And I'm not talking about the chick
I just knew this couldn't be real
It had to be some kinda trick
I was gonna take a picture
To show you that it's true
That Mermaid wouldn't let me
If I did she said we're thru
Anyway, to make a long story short
That fish girl is now my bride
And this ain't one of them fish tales
So you better not say I lied
