Look at this stuff: isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl, the girl who has everything?
Look at this trove, treasures untold
How many wonders can this building hold?
Looking around here you think, "Sure, she's got everything."
I've got seashells and sailboats a-plenty
I've got pebbles and starfish galore
You want a ship in a bottle? I've got twenty
But who cares, no big deal
I want more
I want to be where the merfolk are
I want to see, want to see them splashing
Swimming around with those – what do you call them?
Oh – fins
Shaking your legs, you don't get too far
Tails are required for flipping, soaring
Sailing along down a – what's that word again?
Stream
Down where they swim, down where glide
Down where they play all day in the tide
Floating free, wish I could be
Part of their world
What would I give if I could give free in those waters?
What would I pay to spend a day cool in those caves?
Betcha down below, they already know
They don't tell you "No!" for dreaming
Bright young women, keen on swimming
Tired of land
And ready to know what the merfolk know
Ask them my questions and get some answers
What's a current, and why does it – what's the word?
Flow
When will I know, wouldn't I love?
Love to leave this dull world up above?
Into the sea, wish I could be
Part of their world.
