Lyrics
She was a catch We were a match I was the match That would fire up her snatch But there was a catch I was no match I was fired from her crotch Now I sit around and watch The mermaids sun themselves Out on the rocks They are beyond our touch I watch and watch Them wave at me They wave at me They wave and slip Back into the sea All the ones who come And all the ones who go Down to the water All the ones who come And all the ones who go Down to the sea I believe in God I believe in mermaids too I believe in seventy two virgins On a chain why not why not I believe in the rapture For I've seen your face On the floor of the ocean At the bottom of the rain I do driver alertness course I do husband alertness course I do mermaid alertness course I watch them out on the rocks They wave at me They wave at me They wave and slip Back into the sea All the ones who come And all the ones who go Down to the water All the ones who come And the ones who go Down to the sea All the ones who come And all the ones who go Down to the water All the ones who come And the ones who go Down to the sea
