Rice In the Ocean
I dreamt that I went swimming,
Into the deep blue sea
And from nowhere appeared a mermaid,
That had swum right next to me
The next thing I remembered,
She had pulled me underneath,
Into a cave, where it was dark,
Well below the coral reef
She had opened up my vest,
And she dropped a pearl inside
And then she said, "Hop on my tail...
You're going for a ride."
She had taken me to a shipwreck,
On the ocean's floor
And she wanted me to go with her,
As she pointed to a door
So, then we swam inside the door,
And she guided me to some jewels
That long ago, were thrown overboard,
By some drunken pirate fools
She then pointed to the pearl,
That she had stuck inside my vest
And wanted me to take it out,
And return it with the rest
As soon as I returned the pearl,
The mermaid lost her tail
Then just like that, she walked the aisle with me,
And she was wearing a white veil
The next night when I had fallen asleep,
I was as happy as can be
Because I dreamt about that mermaid; again
And this time...she had married "Me"
