Lyrics[edit]

I'll tell you a tale
Listen if you wish
It's about a lady who was partly fish!
She met a plumber
Who flipped her fins
And that's precisely how our story begins (Croak, croak)

Never kiss a mermaid
'Cause if you do
The mermaid's gonna wanna marry you! (Hoo-hoo!)
Hey now, listen up here!

The mermaid only wanted to spend her life
Livin' underwater as the plumber's wife
The plumber swam away from the deep blue sea
Sayin', "Being with a mermaid isn't right for me!" (Croak, croak)

Never kiss a mermaid
'Cause if you do
The mermaid's gonna want to marry you!
Never kiss a mermaid
'Cause if you do
The mermaid's gonna wanna marry you! (Croak)
