I flap my fins and love to have fun.
And sometimes when I eat bad algae,

when the moon

Made out with her boyfriend Herman
When they got past kissing
She found something missing
No wonder : he was a merman

When he ruled all sex must be oral
But one mermaid's tail
Excited a whale
And his fluke just shattered the coral!

And now we’re expecting a daughter

Then one day he shouted out, please
When a mermaid siren him
For him it looked grim
Until she was caught by a group of Chinese

Ring

The best man partied, then starts to sing
Not knowing that he'd dropped the ring
It was deep in the ground
And made such a weird sound
Like the siren song of a mermaid's king
