Verse 1
Way down in the mermaid land of bright and breezy Norfolk
There’s gonna be a big bash given by the local merfolk
5 o’clock whistle blows they all will be gone
To get their hair done up, put their shells and beads on
It will be packed to the gills hey ya know you gotta go
They’ll be a small craft warning from the ruckus down below

Chorus
Shake your tail, shake it to the left
Shake your tail, shake it to the right
Throw your hair and wiggle your fins
Now hold your nose and do the swim
It’s an open invitation so come one and come all
That’s no tsunami that’s the me-me-mermaids ball

Verse 2
There’s Penny on the upright bass her band will entertain ya
Her sister’s on the dance floor floundering with the mackerelena
Kira’s perched on the piano looking awfully koi
A clownfish makin faces at each mergirl and boy
Check out that sting-ray man that dude can glide
Yo! Let’s hit the floor for the electric eel slide

[Chorus]

Midnight swimming by the light of the moon a
Trumpetfish blowin out a heavenly tuna
Deep sea fiesta everyone is gonna tell of it
Come for the dancing of come for the Halibut
