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
