Lyrics

I knew a mermaid named Miri, she'd visit me
She'd swim alongside my boat, 'cross the seven seas
And we'd kiss, never part
And she'd show me the way to her heart

And then Miri presented her mermaid friends
And one of them kissed her and held her hand
Her name was Oona, hair so gold
When I caught her eye my blood ran cold
I said, no, no, no

And the waves, and the waves, and the waves
Come and rock my boat
And I say, and I say, and I say
"I won't let you go, no, no!"

But you say, "Boy, you've got a friend...
Oh, boy take me home."

And it's depression for dinner again, my Love
Oh, without your heart I'm lost.
