Mermaid in the Night
By: Roger Guth, Jay Oliver
1989
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 must've got a big one ′cause it′s bendin' my pole
I′m havin' to fight just to keep control
It could be a whale God only knows
Whatever it is it′s not wearin' any clothes

Chorus:
She′s larger than life
Made from holy water
She's covered in green and got
Little scales upon her
She's larger than life
She′a a mermaid in the night


She′s got a set of gills like no fish I've ever seen
Long blond hair and a tail in between
I′m in love with a creature from the sea
She brings out the crustacean in me

Her voice is a temptation it's 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:
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 larger than life
Made from holy water
She′s covered in green and got
Little scales upon her
She's larger than life
She′s a mermaid in the night
Mermaid in the night
Little mermaid in the night


-- Spoken:
"I think I'll have the catch of the day"
