a young man on vacation at a seaside resort becomes very curious when he learns of a local legend about a girl that comes up from the sea at night
|
Well I was walking down the beach on a hot summer day when the locals started making a scene
There was a bald headed guy - he was telling the story about the daughter of a mermaid queen
She was an angel face beauty – an apple bottom cutie that came up from the sea every night
In a bikini tight and yellow – she shook it just like “Jello” – made the tourist boys squirm with delight
And she said “hey, whatcha doin’ this summer?” – She said “hey, whatcha doin’ tonight?”
Then he told me the legend about her – and the things she does to a man – but I don’t believe the story ‘bout the girl that lives out on the sand
Now on my way back home I came across a lifeguard who was counting his fingers and toes
He said he met a girl out in the deep now he can’t work and he can’t sleep – “Was it her do you suppose?”
Did she say “hey, whatcha doin’ this summer?” – She said “hey, whatcha doin’ tonight?”
then I told him the legend about her – and the things she does to a man - I still don’t believe the story ‘bout the girl from on the sand
Hey man did you see that? (See what?) – She just jumped right out of the water and kissed me (Who’s she?)
I ain’t never seen anything like that before (Man you’re seeing things) – She kissed me! (Far out!)
With my vacation leaning toward the supernatural or at the very least mildly surreal
I nailed my windows and I locked my doors – Freaked to the tee down by the sea
(“Thank you very much for this bathing suit – very sporty - very little chafing”)
Well now the scene turned strange – my girl got naked – started running across the sand
I said wait a minute baby there’s a misunderstanding ‘cause I only want to hold your hand
And she said “hey, whatcha doin’ this summer?” – she said “hey, whatcha doin’ tonight?”
And though I doubted the legend about her – well I seen what she does to a man
Now I’m going steady with the girl that lives out on the sand (He’s going steady with the girl that lives out on the sand)
