Bilingual
She was a catch
And 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, wave at me
They wave and slip back into the sea
ย
All the ones who come
And all the ones who go down to the water
ย
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
ย
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, wave at me
They wave and slip back into the sea
ย
All the ones who come
All the ones who go down to the water
ย
And all the ones who come
And all the ones who go down to the sea
ย
For all the ones who come
And all the ones who go down to the water
ย
For the ones who come
And all the ones who go down to the sea
