Andrew Lloyd Webber — Mermaid Song

JENNY: I am a mermaid With golden hair... ALEX: I've never seen one like you! JENNY: Not all us mermaids Have silver tails -- I have no tail at all! ALEX: Well, I've never Seen any mermaids With knobbly knees! I'd say this tale Was a touch too tall Maybe a touch too tall... JENNY: Sailors would smash on My jagged rock Lured by my siren's song... ALEX: It isn't the Song of the siren That tortures men -- That's where your theory Goes sadly wrong That's where it all goes wrong... JENNY: I thought you'd know better You know nothing About mermaids ALEX: (wry) You know nothing About sailors... JENNY: I do! Much more than you! If you were a sailor And heard my song Would you be lured by me? ALEX: I wouldn't be Foolish enough to Go near your rock -- I'd steer my galleon out to sea... BOTH: ...Lonely and lost at sea...
