I Was a Mermaid And Now I'm a Pop Star

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

This is a story about a beautiful mermaid and her journey away from the sea...

I was swimmin' in the bay, my hair filled with flowers

When a shark came along, and chased me for hours

So I swam to beach, but got tangled in some kelp

So I started to sing to get some help

Then a record producer came along

And said, "Hey there, fishy, I like your song!"

And now:

I was a mermaid

And now I'm a pop star.

I was a mermaid,

And now I'm a pop star.

I was a mermaid,

And now I'm a pop star.

I was a mermaid,

And now I'm a pop star.

Now I'm livin' like a pimp straight outta jail.

I hire a hottie full time to splash water on my tail.

Always dancing at the clubs at Hollywood or Sunset-oh,

I can't wait to be out of this white trash ocean ghetto!

I was a mermaid.

And now I'm a pop star.

I was a mermaid.

And now I'm a pop star.

[POSEIDON]

Please!

Come back to the sea!

(Come back to the sea!)

Every mermaid is essential to our precious underwater ecosystem.

(Ecosystem!)

Without you, we're all slowly dying!

(Dying, dying!)

Oh, Poseidon, I'm sure you'll be fine.

And if you're ever near Bel Air, be sure to drop me a line!

I was a mermaid

And now I'm a pop star.

I was a mermaid,

And now I'm a pop star

I was a mermaid

And now I'm a pop star

I was a mermaid

And now I'm a popstar.

Hahaha!

(I'm a popstar, yeah)
