What's It Like to Be a Mermaid? - Jodi Benson
They just don't understand
It's not enough for me
Oh I wish I could show them what I found
A note in a bottle from a little girl huh
And she wonders about mermaids
Just like I wonder about humans
I found a little bottle
Bobbing in the water
Carried on a wave
Inside there was a note
That a little girl wrote
This is what she had to say
Mermaid mermaid tell me true
What's it feel like to be you
What's it like to be a mermaid
A little lady from down under the sea
Do you go to school with fishes
Do you have to do the dishes
Are you like me
What's it like to be a mermaid
Tell me a little of your life in the blue
Is there music are there dancers
Are there undersea romances
Do you wonder from down under like I do about you
Growing up a daughter
Of the underwater
Is like a fantasy
But I am curious too
Dreaming just like you do
About the world beyond the beach
Well here's a mermaid's point of view
For those of you who wish they knew
What it's like to be a mermaid
A little lady from down under the sea
We go dancing with the dolphin
Riding waves and whale watching
In the sea breeze
What's it like to be mermaid
Well it's delightful living life in the blue
But though we go to school with fishes
Eat from shells instead of dishes
We're really not so very very different from you
What's it like to be a mermaid
Our ways are not as far apart as they seem
We comb our hair with coral
Wear a splash of ocean floral
In the evening
What's it like to be a mermaid
Well it's delightful living life in the blue
We go swimming with the tuna
In a tropical lagoon a
Chasing manatee and mantas
But our folks don't understand us
When we kick up a commotion
At the bottom of the ocean
We're really not so very very different from you
Ooh what's it like to be a mermaid
What's it like to be a mermaid
Ooh what's it like to be a mermaid
Gosh I just remembered
Tonight is the mermaid's ball
Oh but I can get ready for that later
First I've got to answer the note I've found
