Mermaid In The Night - Jimmy Buffett, Elliot Scheiner

I went out fishing on a sandy beach

Cast my line out as far as it would reach

Looking for something from the frying pan

I kick back with a beer in my hand

I must’ve got a big one cause it’s bending my pole

I’m having to fight just to keep my hold

It could be a whale (oh) God only knows

Whatever it is it’s not wearing any clothes

She’s larger than life

Made from holy water

She’s covered in green

She’s got little scales upon her

She’s larger than life

She’s a mermaid in the night

She’s got a set of gills, like no fish I’ve ever seen

Long blonde hair and a tail in between

I’m in love ith a creature from the sea

And she’s bringin' out the crustacean in me

Her voice is a temptation it’s a siren song

When we kiss there could be no wrong

I ask her to marry me, to be my wife

And we could do the backstroke for the rest of our lives

She’s larger than life

Made from holy water

She’s covered in green

She’s got little scales upon her

She’s larger than life

She’s a mermaid in the night
