Subject: Lyr Add: MINNIE THE MERMAID (from Andrew Jones)
MINNIE THE MERMAID
As sung by Andrew Jones on "Plenty Plenty Love" (2004)

Many's the night I spent with Minnie the mermaid
Down by the bottom of the sea.
Minnie lost her morals
Down among the corals.
Gee, but she was good to me!

Now you can easily see she's not my mother,
'Cause my mother's forty-nine.
Now you can easily see she's not my sweetie,
'Cause my sweetie's too refined.
Now you can easily see she's not my sister,
'Cause I never gave my sister such a heck of a good time.
She's just a slip of a kid.
She didn't know what she did.
She's just a personal friend of mine.

REPEAT.
