Sweet Shelly

If I could live under the sea I would marry my sweet mermaid Shelly Oh how happy the two of us would be Swimming forever in the deep blue up to the brimme The fish would wish they could be us For we could survive in sea to shore The world be our oyster overstuff With pearls her I adore Sunken treasures of the past We could explore but ignore Our love enough for us to last For free is the sea forever more Choral gardens rich in life Colors glow from sunbeams light Ride the waves no worries or strife Moonbeams spiral into our night With a roof of water over our heads Safe from storms let them blow Huddle and cuddle in the octopus's bed Asleep to dreams that flow The shark's all bite, the whale has tales The otters play, the crabs are crabby The dolphins laugh, the old squid smells The penguins dance, the walrus is flabby The seals bark, the eels glow The shrimps are shrimps, the seagull steals The lobster diets, the seahorse was rode And the porpoises were all pale Just a day benaeth a wave For my Sweet Shelly and me Happy to be married to a meramid With baby mermaid soon to be
