[00:00.516] They just don't understand.
[00:03.557] It's not enough for me.
[00:06.091] Oh, I wish I could show them what I found.
[00:09.274] A note in a bottle from a little girl.
[00:12.734] And she wonders about mermaids just like I wonder about humans.
[00:16.931] I found a little bottle
[00:18.852] Bobbing in the water
[00:20.973] Carried on a wave
[00:24.413] Inside there was a note that a little girl wrote
[00:28.813] This is what she had to say
[00:33.986] Mermaid, mermaid tell me true
[00:38.432] What's it feel like to be you?
[00:42.221]
[00:43.106] What's it like to be a mermaid?
[00:46.946] A little lady from down under the sea
[00:50.837] Do you go to school with fishes?
[00:52.899] Do you have to do the dishes?
[00:55.129] Are you like me?
[00:58.546] What's it like to be a mermaid?
[01:02.286] Tell me a little of your life in the blue
[01:06.265] Is there music, are there dances?
[01:08.224] Are there undersea romances?
[01:10.245] Do you wonder from down under like I do about you?
[01:15.399]
[01:23.223] Growing up a daughter
[01:25.164] Of the underwater
[01:27.546] Is like a fantasy
[01:30.873] But I am curious, too
[01:32.768] Dreamin' just like you do
[01:35.047] About the world beyond the beach
[01:40.354] Well, here's a mermaid's point of view
[01:44.550] For those of you who wish they knew
[01:48.898]
[01:49.466] What's it like to be a mermaid?
[01:53.255] A little lady from down under the sea
[01:57.158] We go dancing with the dolphin
[01:59.079] Riding waves and whale watching
[02:01.150] In the sea breeze
[02:04.902] What's it like to be a mermaid?
[02:08.458] Well, it's delightful living life in the blue
[02:12.204] But though we go to school with fishes
[02:14.356] Eat from shells instead of dishes
[02:16.292] We're really not so very very different from you
[02:21.843] What's it like to be a mermaid?
[02:25.914] Our ways are not as far apart as they seem
[02:29.710] We comb our hair with coral
[02:31.589] Wear a splash of ocean floral
[02:33.730] In the evening
[02:37.269] What's it like to be a mermaid?
[02:41.074] Well, it's delightful living life in the blue
[02:44.936] We go swimming with the tuna
[02:46.953] In a tropical lagoon-a
[02:48.905] Chasing manatee and mantas
[02:50.807] But our folks don't understand us
[02:52.715] When we kick up a commotion
[02:54.624] At the bottom of the ocean
[02:56.584] We're really not so very very different from you
[03:00.892]
[03:02.142] What's it like to be a mermaid?
[03:05.825] What's it like to be a mermaid
[03:09.874] What's it like to be a mermaid?
[03:13.287] Gosh, I just remembered.
[03:16.074] Tonight is the mermaid's ball.
[03:18.314] Oh, but I can get ready for that later.
[03:21.780] First, I've got to answer the note I've found.

They just don't understand.
It's not enough for me.
Oh, I wish I could show them what I found.
A note in a bottle from a little girl.
And she wonders about mermaids just like I wonder about humans.
