Oh the Mermaid of Ontario
C G
Had long green stringy hair-io
C F
And a seaweed gown to wear-io
G C
But she had no one to marry-o
F G C
Later verses are the same as first verse.
And the Mermaid of Ontario
Loved a big mouth bass named Larry-o
Who lived in lake St. Claire-io
Underneath the St. Claire ferry-o
F G C
So the Mermaid of Ontario
Sent a goldfish emissary-o
To ask that bass named Larry-o
If he would consent to marry-o
F G C
Oh no no no said Larry-o
My life I would not share-io
I'd rather play solitarie-io
Or read a book from the fish library-o
F G C (2x)
Or sit around in my underwear-io
F G C (2x)
And before I'd marry you, I'd marry-o
A guernsey cow from the dairy-o
Or eat a poison berry-o
And wind up as a fish with dysentery-io
F G C
slower (strumming)
F G C (2x)
For the Mermaid of Ontario, it was more than she could bear-io
So she cried for a day and she swam away with a yuppy little guppy named Gary-o
F G C (2x)
Now their a happy pair-io
Cuz he's a millionaire-io
In his yacht neath Lake Ontario
They cuddled in a cozy little chair-io
F G C
And listened to his underwater stereo
F G C (2x)
And that big mouth bass named Larry-o
Did marry a cow from the dairy-o
And she fed him a poison berry-o
And he wound up in the fishes cemetary-o
F G C (2x)
And that's the whole scenario.
