Mermaid, <strong>The</strong> -Shel Silverstein When I was a lad in a fishing town, an old man said to me You can spend your life, your jolly life, Just sailing on the sea You can search the world for pretty girls ‘til your eyes are weak and dim But don’t go swimmin’ with a mermaid, son, if you don’t know how to swim! ‘Cause her hair is green as sea-weed Her skin is blue and pale I’ll tell you now before you start You can love that girl with all your heart But you’ll only love the upper part; You will -not- like the tail! I signed on a sailing ship, my very first day at sea I see a mermaid in the waves, Just reachin’ out to me Come live with me in the sea, said she, down on the ocean floor I’ll show you a million wond’rous things you’ve never seen before! So over I jumped in and she took me down, down to her sea-weed bed A pillow made of tortoise shells, she placed neath my head She served me shrimp and caviar upon a silver dish From her head to her waist she was just my taste but the rest of her was a fish! 38 Her hair was green as seaweed Her skin was blue and pale Her face it was a work of art But I only gave her half my heart ‘Cause tho I loved the upper part; I did -not- like the tail! And then one day when I looked up I saw a sailin’ ship And I met the stare of a millionaire Out on a fishing trip A diamond ring he tied on a string And lowered it down to her And my love divine, she went for the line And went for the usual lure! So I sighed in the rolling tide, and I cried to the clams and the whales How I missed her hair and her seagreen eyes; I missed the shine of her scales but then her sister swam by, and set my heart a-whirl.... For her upper part was an ugly old fish..... but the -bottom- half was GIRL! Her toes are pink and rosey! Her knees are smooth and pale! Her legs they are a work of art I love that girl with all my heart And I don’t give a damn about the upper part That’s how I end my tale!
Mongols Sleep tonight (tune: “Wimoweh” aka “<strong>The</strong> Lion Sleeps Tonight”) Near the village, the peaceful village, the Mongols creep tonight. Near the village, the quiet village, the Mongols creep tonight. Chorus: bass: the Mongol Horde, the Mongol Horde, the Mongol Horde, etc. soprano: Yang! Yang! Yang! Yang! etc. non-singers: creative screaming as they deem appropriate In the village, the Mongols pillage, kill everything in sight. In the village, take sheep and foodage, leave nothing, not a bite.
