An absolutely beautiful and important question from Tulsi.
After the mermaid disco
When the moon shines on the waves
The tired and laughing mermaids
Pour out of the disco caves
They’ve been dancing to the music
That through the water thrums
With a big blue whale on vocals
And an octopus on drums
They’ve been drinking seaweed cocktails
And fine kelp wine and such
And they’re swimming’s kind of wonky
Cause they’ve had a bit too much.
Their ropes of pearls are tangled
And one has lost her comb.
Another her seashell bangles
And they all want to get back home.
So they all swim down together
Make sure everyone’s OK
And a fleet of dolphin taxis
Soon carry them away.
After the mermaid disco
They need to rest their heads
So the dolphins help the mermaids
To get back home to bed.
