I was sitting in the corner of my local bar
Just havin’ fun with my friends
I knew the night was over
I was walkin’ home alone
I didn’t want this night to end

Then all at once this stranger
He sat down next to me
I didn’t know what to do
He bought me a drink
& We talked allnight
This stranger it was you

Chorus#

Suddenly the world seems a better place
Its been so lonely on my own
& I’m hopin’ given time
You will feel the same
You are the nicest man I’ve known

So we met as arranged
On the very next day
You asked me out for a date
We parted with a kiss
It was nothing we had planned
As we stood at my garden gate

Chorus#

Now ten years has made us older
We got married  last May
We have a home to call our own
We are soon to be parents
I’ve a little one on the way
How my love for you has grown

Cupid shot his bow & arrow
Our way that night
As we were havin’ fun with our friends
Now were together & forever we will never part
I will love you till the end

Chorus twice#

Oh Mermaid and Merman
I have seen you in my dreams
Your tails are bright and beautiful
Dazzling like two shiny sunbeams

Do you swim and intertwine in the mystique fathoms below
casting little bubbles to the surface as you blow

Will you be married in the moonlight underneath the pretty twinkly stars
Will your carriages have six white seahorses pulling
You both in Rolls-Royce seacars

Oh Mr and Mrs Mermaids
I know this is all true
I watched you take Miss Mermaid’s hand
I heard you saying  “I do”

There was lots of other Mermaids
Of every shape and size
I peeped inside your banquet
I could hardly believe my eyes

You were all sitting at a big oak table
With Mermaids on chairs at either side
But you Mr Merman were sitting opposite your Mermaid bride

She looked very stunning
With her diamond studded veil
Her sequinned dress was so long
It covered all her tail

I didn’t want to leave you all
You partied allnight long
But my Mammy was telling me
To get up or I’d get wrong

You see I had to go to school
That’s what us humans do
So I woke up from my dream
Even though I didn’t want to

Oh how I wish I was a Mermaid
Swimming in the deep blue brine
Then I could play with your Mermaid children
They would be best friends of mine

My sis Chris has a mole upon her back
Theyv called her to the hospital
Coz its a little bit black

Im waiting on her now
Shes having it removed
I really hope she is ok
I bet she will b bruised 😟

I sat staring at the people
And wondering what to do
So i started jotting down this ditty
I thought Id write to you

I got on second verse
I looked up in the air
Then i thought I saw a nurse
But twas my sister standing there😊

How was it Chris I asked
She was red upon the cheek
“Well iv had it taken off
They may phone me in a week”

“The nurses was so nice”
She says
“I really cant complain
So I wont be dreading it
If I have to go again”

Ah well I said, thats fine i said
Dont worry pet, Im here
We’ll get the train, youre not alone
You need not ever fear 😁

She used her phone to ring her man
To give him all her news
& at the end it made her cry
Coz he finished with “love yous”***

She looked at me & gave a sigh
I hugged her close to me
I saw her tears, they touched my heart, i joined her with cry

Come on lets walk & cross this road, we rid our tears with winks
We hurried on, she found two chairs
I went & ordered drinks

Not alcohol, Oh heavens
No
Not for our Chris & me
Theres nothing better, nothing nicer than a cup of tea🤣

So rest we did & after that
We went to Fenwicks shop
The clothes were candy to our eyes
Our Chris she bought a top😊

Well we spent abit of time & then we caught our train
We got to Berwick,
Said our goodbyes
& both drove home again😁

Moral of this ditty
Is very plain to see
In every situation
We stay together
Our Chris & Me😊😘❤️
