Yesterday,
Noticed the bathroom door was shut
Didn't know for certain who was in there
Had I known better, I would've asked what
Helped myself in with a spare key I keep
And as water rush out, stood there ankle deep
Faced with a woman's bare derriere
But upon further discovery

I done found me a Mermaid

That's right, that's what I said
I found me a Mermaid
Left me dumbstruck, scratching my head

As for today
She was living it up in the shower
Didn't have the nerve to kick her to the curb
And sometime abouts the noontime hour
Darn water pipes were void of all pressure
Reduced to nothing more than a trickle
When that water bill comes next month
I'll won't have a nickle to my name
But 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 one more night

And tomorrow
And the day after that
But the water's all gone down the drain
Oh, if only you could fel 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 left me
And where she 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 presure, she just couldn't wait
