MINNIE THE MERMAID (A LOVE SONG IN FISH TIME)
As recorded by Bernie Cummins and His Hotel New Yorker Orchestra, 10 March 1930.

Oh, what a time I had with Minnie the mermaid
Down at the bottom of the sea!
I forgot my troubles
There amongst the bubbles.
Gee, but she was awf'ly good to me!
And ev'ry night when the starfish came out,
I'd hug and kiss her so. Oh!
Oh, what a time I had with Minnie the mermaid
Down in her seaweed bungalow!

She was just a sailor's sweetheart.

Oh, what a time I had with Minnie the mermaid
Down at the bottom of the sea!
I found out that Minnie
Wasn't very skinny
Ev'ry time she sat upon my knee.
Oh, what a night! How we danced with delight
Down at the Codfish Ball! Oh!
Oh, what a time I had with Minnie the mermaid
Down in her seaweed bungalow!
