On a day of days
I stood and gazed
Over the western sea
I was completely dazed,
Wide-mouthed and amazed
when a mermaid called to me
Ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
Like a man in a dream,
for an age it seemed
I stood as still as a stone
while the mermaid sang
And her melody rang
like a memory calling me home
Ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
Then the sea and the wind
and the sh*res did spin
And though my resistance was strong
all the stars in space
Filled the mermaid's face
as she captured my will with her song
Ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
Somehow I spoke --
the enchantment broke
I rubbed my eyes open wide
like a dream she was gone
All that remained was a song
borne on the ebbing tide
Ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
