It's a Mermaid's Moon; br See the ripples like water, br Try to hear the splashing br And faint tinkling laughter. br br The clouds are hiding br The mermaid's fun; br They don't come play br Under burning sun. br br I see their shadows br In the sunset's glow- br It makes me glad br I can see the show. br br Hide and seek br Is among their games br But mermaids rarely br Play the same again. br br Their favorite game br In the ocean blue, br Is to catch a man br And to steal his shoes.
