Hold a seashell to your ear
And if you listen carefully
Above the ocean's roar, you'll hear
A strange and haunting melody

The secret music of the deep
A sound so sweet and high and long
It lulls the sailors fast asleep
The magic of the mermaid song

She sings from far beneath the waves
A sound so sweet and high and long
It draws the sailors to their graves
Enchanted by the mermaid song
