Down Under lyrics

Around the sea green pool we spin

The mermaid singing songs

To pull us in

To swim with him she slides up slow

To fall down under

Bright burning eyes the only clue

To who plays what plays when plays

You just blew my cue

To drown his tears

For all in wonder

Unlucky start I smile

But twice is helpless

Fizz down nice as black with ice

Disguise the stroke

Entice them out

To call their number

Lean in and breathe in

As low as you choose

Remember not all games are won

By the last one to lose…

Her tail I tell his head we break

The trick is how to fake the first mistake

To make them take

The easy choice

Too close to care how

But wet spot sometime changes stripe

And day to night

If every wrong is right

I dry your eye

You bite my lip

We're almost there now

Lean in and breathe in

As low as you choose

Remember not all games are won
