Mermaid In The Night Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

Mermaid in the Night 

By: Roger Guth, Jay Oliver 

1989 

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 kick back with a beer in my hand 

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'a a mermaid in the night 

She's got a set of gills like no fish I've ever seen 

Long blond hair and a tail in between 

I'm in love with a creature from the sea 

She brings out the crustacean in me 

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 

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 

Mermaid in the night 

Little mermaid in the night

"I think I'll have the catch of the day"
