The last verse is: Then one day she swam away off with the shrimps and the whales And I missed her skin and her seaweed hair and the silvery swish of her tail And then her sister she swam by and set my heart a whirl For the upper half was an ugly fish but the lower part was a girl And her toes were pink and rosy, Her knees were warm and pale Her legs they were a work of art I loved that girl with all my heart And I don't give a dam about the upper part and that's how I end my tale.
