When I Was A Child, And You Were A Man In This Kingdom By The Sea,
This Princess She Lived With No Other Thought Than To Live And Live Her Life Free.
So When She Was A Child And You Were A Man In This Kingdom By The Sea,
The Princess Swam Off Into The Churning Brine And Vowed To Live Happily.
Under The Waves, Among The Fish And Sand, She Lived And Lived Her Life Free.
She Let Her Hair Knot, Grew A Tail, And Caught Sunrays As Bright As Citrine.
My Wish Has Come True, The Princess Sighed, I’ve Loved And Loved Myself Free.
But The Princess Was Lonely, She Missed That Man, No Longer A Child Was She.
She Splayed Herself On A Sunsoaked Rock, With Her Hair Bright As Filigree.
Her Bare Breast Shone, Her Iridescent Tail Flicked, She Sang Lasciviously
About His Green Eyes, And Scaly Thighs, And How Much In Love Was She.
But No Man Came, No Neck To Nibble, Her Sharp Teeth Bright As Iv’ry.
So She Bit Out Her Tongue And Under The Water Sung Out All Her Misery.
When I Was A Child, And You Were A Man In This Kingdom By The Sea,
This Girl, She Lived With No Other Thought Than To Love And Make You Love Me
