A#              C
She was a catch We were a match
A#                          C
I was the match That would fire up her snatch
A#                   C
But there was a catch I was no match
A#                         C
I was fired from her crotch Now I'll sit around and watch
A#                         C
The mermaids sun themselves Out on the rocks
A#                       C
They are beyond our touch I watch and watch
A#              C
Them wave at me, They wave at me
A#                C              Dm
They wave and slip Back into the sea

Chorus:
C                 A#                   Gm
All the ones who come All the ones who go
             Dm
Down to the water
C                     A#                   Gm
And all the ones who come All the ones who go
             Dm
Down to the sea

I believe in God I believe in mermaids too
I believe in 72 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
