I thought it was racy then. Pretty appropriate for the parade, huh? All the words I remember are something like this: <br /><br />"Oh, what a time I had with Minnie the Mermaid, <br />Down at the bottom of the sea; <br />There among the corals, <br />That's where I lost my morals, <br />Gee but she was awfully good to me." <br /> <br />"And every night, when the starfish came out, <br />I'd hug and squeeze her soooo, <br />Oh, what a time I had with Minnie the Mermaid, <br />Down in her seaweed bungalow." melanie hope greenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136146444814331783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918746609174539672.post-81904991283664729422009-06-05T09:32:47.741-04:002009-06-05T09:32:47.741-04:00They should be the tropical drinks!They should be the tropical drinks!advice sister alisonhttp://www.advicesisters.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918746609174539672.post-62467561657974656722009-06-04T13:23:44.501-04:002009-06-04T13:23:44.501-04:00How about Mermaids in Outer Space?
