What's It Like to Be a Mermaid?
They just don't understand
It's not enough for me
Oh, I wish I could show them what I found
A note in a bottle from a little girl
And she wonders about mermaids
Just like I wonder about humans
I found a little bottle bobbing in the water
Carried on a wave
Inside there was a note that a little girl wrote
This is what she had to say
"Mermaid, mermaid, tell me true
What's it feel like to be you
What's it like to be a mermaid
A little lady from down under the sea
Do you go to school with fishes
Do you have to do the dishes
Are you like me
What's it like to be a mermaid
Tell me a little of your life in the blue
Is there music, are there dances
Are there undersea romances
Do you wonder from down under like I do about you"
Growing up a daughter of the underwater
Is like a fantasy
But I am curious too, dreamin' just like you do
About the world beyond the beach
Well, here's a mermaid's point of view
For those of you who wish they knew
What's it like to be a mermaid
A little lady from down under the sea
We go dancing with the dolphin
Riding waves and whale watching in the sea breeze
What's it like to be a mermaid
Well, it's delightful living life in the blue
But though we go to school with fishes
Eat from shells instead of dishes
We're really not so very, very different from you
What's it like to be a mermaid
Our ways are not as far apart as they seem
We comb our hair with coral
Wear a splash of ocean floral and we eat weed
What's it like to be a mermaid
Well, it's delightful living life in the blue
We go swimming with the tuna in a tropical lagoon-a
Chasing manatee and mantas but our folks don't understand us
When we kick up a commotion at the bottom of the ocean
We're really not so very, very different from you
Ooh, what's it like to be a mermaid
What's it like to be a mermaid
Ooh, what's it like to be a mermaid
(What's it like to be a mermaid) gosh, I just remembered
Tonight is the mermaid's ball
(What's it like to be a mermaid) oh
But I can get ready for that later
(What's it like) first
(To be a mermaid) I've got to answer the note I've found
It's not enough for me
Oh, I wish I could show them what I found
A note in a bottle from a little girl
And she wonders about mermaids
Just like I wonder about humans
I found a little bottle bobbing in the water
Carried on a wave
Inside there was a note that a little girl wrote
