[ 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
