I sailed across the ocean when
A beautiful mermaid drew me in
She whispered softly in my ear
Said the world is boring, come down here
Into my oceans of love
My oceans of love
She said, "Come on down,
I promise you won't drown
In my oceans of love"
So I dropped an anchor and swam down deep
The ocean water tasted oh so sweet
My heart was beating quicker
She took my hand in his flipper
And she said
I'll show you a world you've never seen
You don't need a snorkel or a submarine
Abandon ship and drop your oars
Sink or swim, the choice is yours
In my oceans of love
My oceans of love
She said, "Come on down,
I promise you won't drown
In my oceans of love"
Good times come and go like the crashing of the waves
But I hope to Poseidon that I'll ride them again someday
'Cause on the night of our honeymoon
She was gored by a big harpoon
Will I ever swim again
In her oceans of love
(My little mermaid)
Her oceans of love
(I would've taken her name)
Her oceans of love
(I'm just glad she knew me)
Her oceans of love
(They turned her into sushi)
Oceans of love
(She died)
Her oceans of love
(And I cried)
She said come on down, I promise you won't drown
(It was high tide, she was)
In my oceans of love
(My mermaid, my mermaid bride)
