Bb C
She was a catch We were a match
Bb C
I was the match That would fire up her snatch
Bb C
But there was a catch I was no match
Bb C
I was fired from her crotch Now I'll sit around and watch
Bb C
The mermaids sun themselves Out on the rocks
Bb C
They are beyond our touch I watch and watch
Bb C
Them wave at me, They wave at me
Bb C Dm
They wave and slip Back into the sea
C Bb Gm
All the ones who come All the ones who go
Dm
Down to the water
C Bb Gm
And all the ones who come All the ones who go
Dm
Down to the sea

I believe in God I believe in mermaids too

I believe in 72 virgins on a chain Why not? Why not?

I believe in the rapture For I've seen your face

On the floor of the ocean At the bottom of the rain

I do Mermaid Alertness Course I watch them out on the rocks

They wave at me,they wave at me
Bb C Dm
They wave and slip back into the sea
