[Verse 1]
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 kicked back with a beer in my hand
[Verse 2]
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's a mermaid in the night
[Verse 3]
She's got a set of gills like no fish I've ever seen
Long blonde hair and a tail in-between
I'm in love with a creature from the sea
She brings out the crustacean in me
[Verse 4]
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
[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's a mermaid in the night
[Outro]
Mermaid in the night
Little mermaid in the night
I think I'll have the catch of the day
