Mermaid In The Night — Jimmy Buffett

Mermaid in the night

By: roger guth, jay oliver

I went out fishin on a sandy beach

Cast my line out as far as it would reach

Lookin for somethin for the fryin pan

I kick back with a beer in my hand

I mustve got a big one cause its bendin my pole

Im havin to fight just to keep control

It could be a whale God only knows

Whatever it is its not wearin any clothes

Chorus

Shes larger than life

Made from holy water

Shes covered in green and got

Little scales upon her

Shes larger than life

Shea a mermaid in the night

Shes got a set of gills like no fish Ive ever seen

Long blond hair and a tail in between

Im in love with a creature from the sea

She brings out the crustacean in me

Her voice is a temptation its a siren song

When we kiss there can be no wrong

I ask her to marry me and be my wife

Do the backstroke the rest of our lives

Chorus

Shes larger than life

Made from holy water

Shes covered in green

Shes got little scales upon her

Shes larger than life

Shes a mermaid in the night

Shes larger than life

Made from holy water

Shes covered in green and got

Little scales upon her

Shes larger than life

Shes a mermaid in the night

Mermaid in the night

Little mermaid in the night
