Album: California 37 (2012)MermaidWhoa, whoa
Can't swim so I took a boat,
To an island so remote
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before
Stayed there till the air was clear
I was bored and out of tears,
Then I saw you washed up on the shore
I offered you my coat, thank goddess love can float
Crazy how that shipwreck met my ship was comin' in
We talked till the sun went down
Love on the Puget Sound
My treasure map was on your skin
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Ocean's daughter, I thought love was out of reach
'til I got her, had I known it could come true
I would have wished in '92, for a mermaid just like you
Whoa, just like you, whoa
Sharks green with envy they wonder what you see in me
Funny but sometimes can't help but wonder that as well
Now life is a holiday, making up for the years I paid
The way to this heavenly bay? it went through hell
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Ocean's daughter, I thought love was out of reach
'til I got her, had I known it could come true
I would have wished in '92, for a mermaid just like you
Whoa, just like you, whoa
Rescued you by the banyan tree,
All the girlfish in the sea
Couldn't hold a candle to you,
They don't have a handle on you,
They don't have a scandal on you
I love Ecco Sandals on you
Saving me was B-I-G,
All the boyfish in the sea
They all wish that they could be me
Can't swim so I took a boat,
To an island so remote
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before
Beauty in the water, angel on the beach
Ocean's daughter, I thought love was out of reach
'til I got her, had I known it could come true
I would have wished in '92, for a mermaid just like you
Whoa, just like you, whoa
Just like you, whoa
Just like you, whoa
