Jimmy Buffett - Mermaid In The Night lyrics

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"
