I Was a Mermaid (and Now I’m a Pop Star)

[00:01.82] This is a story about a beautiful mermaid
[00:03.75] And her journey away from the sea
[00:07.73] I was swimmin' in the bay, my hair filled with flowers
[00:10.58] When a shark came along, and chased me for hours
[00:14.61] So I swam to beach, but got tangled in some kelp
[00:18.66] So I started to sing to get some help
[00:22.48] Then a record producer came along
[00:26.14] And said, Hey there, fishy, I like your song
[00:29.90] And now
[00:30.86] I was a mermaid
[00:32.26] And now I'm a pop star
[00:34.21] I was a mermaid
[00:35.99] And now I'm a pop star
[00:37.97] I was a mermaid
[00:39.10] And now I'm a pop star
[00:41.91] I was a mermaid
[00:43.51] And now I'm a pop star
[00:45.02] Now I'm livin' like a pimp straight outta jail
[00:48.99] I hire a hottie full time to splash water on my tail
[00:52.97] Always dancing at the clubs at Hollywood or Sunset-oh
[00:56.73] I'm happy to be out of this white trash ocean ghetto
[01:01.44] 'Cos I want to be where the people are
[01:04.95] Walking around with those
[01:07.21] What do ya call 'em?
[01:08.41] Oh money
[01:09.24] I was a mermaid
[01:10.91] And now I'm a pop star
[01:12.55] I was a mermaid
[01:14.52] And now I'm a pop star
[01:19.37] Please
[01:20.01] Come back to the sea
[01:22.74] (Come back to the sea)
[01:24.23] Every mermaid is essential to our precious underwater ecosystem
[01:34.03] (Ecosystem)
[01:34.92] Without you, we're all slowly dying
[01:38.74] (Dying, dying)
[01:42.99] Oh, Poseidon, I'm sure you'll be fine
[01:46.70] And if you're ever near Bel Air, be sure to drop me a line
[01:51.08] I was a mermaid
[01:52.59] And now I'm a pop star
[01:54.76] I was a mermaid
[01:56.35] And now I'm a pop star
[01:58.60] I was a mermaid
[02:00.44] And now I'm a pop star
[02:02.21] I was a mermaid
[02:04.79] And now I'm a popstar
