- Verse:
- The other night I dreamed
that I was
- Down at the bottom of the
sea.
- I met a Mermaid fair, Who
had a cottage there,
- Her name was Minnie and
she tumbled for me.
- She had the tail of a fish
for a train,
- But just the same, she could
sure entertain.
-
- Chorus:
- Oh what a time I had with
Minnie The Mermaid,
- Down at the bottom of the
sea;
- I forgot my troubles, There
among the bubbles,
- Gee but she was awfly good
to me.
- And ev'ry night when the
star fish came out,
- I'd hug and kiss her so.
- Oh what a time I had with
Minnie The Mermaid,
- Down in her seaweed bungalow.
