The pirate he sailed his ship upon the sea
The pirate he sailed his ship upon the sea
Searching for treasure if there was any to be
The pirate had spent his life all alone
Forever sailing the sea as he did roam
No home he had of which he was glad
To stay in one place would drive him mad
Then one day out of the ocean blue
He watched a mermaid swim into view
The mermaid she swum up alongside
The lonely pirate his joy he couldn't hide
The mermaid whispered so enticingly
Come live with me in the deep blue sea
Such an invite the pirate could not ignore
Having never seen a mermaid like her before
As the mermaid flashed her tail for him to see
Into the waves they both did go
Swimming to the ocean floor far below
The pirate’s lungs they yearned for more air
As mermaid spoke, bubbles started appear
His lungs now full he studied the view
The pirate had never ever seen before
Such was the beauty of the ocean floor
The mermaid beckoned the pirate to follow
Into her home of a clam covered hollow
It is here the pirate he had met his match
His heart jumped for joy seeing her tail detach
For the lonely pirate that roamed the sea
The pirates delight was plain to see
As he enjoyed her playful company
The pirate he loved her even more
Her gentle ways he'd never known before
His only wish was that she would stay
As light drew near she'd swim away
The lonely pirate is such happy man
His home is now her giant size clam
