00:00Oh, down by the waves where the sea breezes blow
00:06They're seeing the mermaids putting on quite a show
00:11With hair like the foam and eyes like the sea
00:17Half woman, half fish, they beckon to me
00:21Their voice is so sweet, like a soft summer night
00:26They're the sirens of old, and oh what a sight
00:32Siren, oh siren, with beauty so fair
00:37Luring brave sailors to their watery lair
00:42Beware of the charm that hides in their song
00:47For under the waves is where you don't belong
00:52When the moonlight dances on the rippling tide
00:57The mermaids sing softly their song magnified
01:02With grace in their movements they glide through the foam
01:07But beneath the alluring they call you as home
01:12You think it's a dream, just a glimpse of delight
01:17But soon you'll be lost in the deep of the night
01:22Siren, oh siren, with beauty so fair
01:27Luring brave sailors to their watery lair
01:32Beware of the charm that hides in their song
01:38For under the waves is where you don't belong
01:42But when the tide turns and the moon fades away
01:46Their beauty's but a mask and you've come to pay
01:52With teeth like a knife and shadows that creep
01:57The mermaids turn bulls from the depths they leap
02:02Biting and gnashing, they feast on despair
02:08For all of the pirates who venture to near
02:13Siren, oh siren, with beauty so fair
02:18Luring brave sailors to their watery lair
02:23Beware of the charm that hides in their song
02:28For under the waves is where you don't belong
02:33So heed this old tale of the sea and its wiles
02:38For the mermaids are charming, yet concealed lies
02:43Keep your ship steady and sail far away
02:48From the sirens who sing at the break of the day
