The Scuttle Strut
Mermaid ahoy
Hiya, Ariel
Say, whatcha doing up here on the surface
Scuttle, I wanna write a letter to a little girl
She wants to know about mermaids
Could you help me
You betcha, sweetie
Ol' Scuttle knows everything about writing letters
Humans are my specialty
With all their fancy stuff
You wanna write a letter
Hey, that's not so tough
First, you need a tapplehooper
That's what they use to write
A ballpoint tapplehooper
Would really be outta sight
Are you sure they write with tapplehoopers
Absolutely
Oh, Scuttle
It's hard to be humble
When you know everything
I may have an ego
But it's under my wing
Everyone wants answers
No ifs, ands, or buts
So I show off politely
That's the Scuttle Strut
Strut, do the Scuttle Strut, strut
This letter-writing stuff is a cinch
Humans do it all the time
Now here's what you gotta do
You start out, "Very truly yours"
And end it with, "Dear friend"
And in between, you say things like
"How large the weather's been"
Then you stuff it in a bottle
A special one that floats
Humans only use them
For their most important notes
Like this bottle
The one I found with the letter inside
Sure, why, you could mail anything in that
It's hard to be humble
When you know everything
I may have an ego
But it's under my wing
Everyone wants answers
Who, why, where and what
So I show off politely
That's the Scuttle Strut
Do the Scuttle Strut, strut
Strut, do the Scuttle Strut, strut
It's hard to be humble
When you know everything
I may have an ego
But it's under my wing
Everyone wants answers
No ifs, ands, or buts
So I show off politely
Strut
Strut, do the Scuttle Strut, strut
Now you better hurry home, sweetie
You know what your father would say
If he finds you up here on the surface again
(Strut) thanks, Scuttle
