'Twas a chilly june morning,
as we sailed upon the sea;
came up to lean upon the railing,
and see what I might see.
The sun was just a'peeking,
over the horizon so far away;
don't know what I was seeking,
when I came up to face the day.
My eyes opened so wide,
my stubbly jaw hit the rail;
there floating alongside,
was a Mermaid with a tail.
I had gasped or something,
I must have made a noise;
for when she saw me peeking,
shook her torso and her "toys".
My mast at full attention,
drool running down my chin,
my britches had some tension,
as she beckoned me to come in.
I shook my head in wonder,
at this seductive sight;
but I must not blunder,
joining her would not be right.
This seamen is not yours, I cried,
then almost bit my panting tongue;
whispering, you cannot be my bride,
she was so beautiful and young.
She flipped her tail at me,
I saw briefly below the deck;
dropping trousers so I was free,
jumped right in, oh what the heck.
