[ SN ] I Done Found Me A Mermaid
Yesterday, bathroom door was shut
Who was in there?
I should've asked What ...
Helped myself in
with spare key I keep
and as water rushed out
stood there ankle deep
faced with a woman's derriere
but ... upon further discovery
I done found me a Mermaid
That's right
that's what I said
I found me a Mermaid
Dumbstruck I was
scratching my head
Today, she's living it up
in the shower
Didn't have the heart
to kick her to the curb
Sometime about the noon hour
darn water pipes were void of pressure
Reduced to nothing more than a trickle
when the next water bill comes
I won't have a nickel to my name
yet ... I don't care 'cause
I done found me a Mermaid
That's what I said
you heard me right
I found me a Mermaid
If only she could stay
just one more night
Tomorrow
and the day after that
Unfortunately
the water's all gone down the drain
If only you could feel my pain
Guess that's the way my luck goes
---away with the water it flows
Here I am
all by my lonesome again
My Mermaid gal
she done gone and feft me
And where she's disappeared to
----nobody knows
I done lost me a Mermaid
That's what I said
you heard me straight
I lost me a Mermaid
For more water
she just couldn't wait
