The children of the ocean
Got their positive emotion
Take me to the place I wanna go
Life ain't always easy
But the simple things do please me
Like the way the water always seems to flow

Could it be?
There's a pretty little lady in the sea
You can call me crazy but she's calling me
So I guess I'll have to paddle out to play

I say

The children of the ocean
Got their positive emotion
Take me to the place I wanna go
Life ain't always easy
But the simple things do please me
Like the way the water always seems to flow

Go and tell me your name
Parlez-vous Francais?
The way you move with the waves
The tide is pulling away
Got a million different things
Running through my brain
All your mermaid games got me going insane

Go and tell me your name
Parlez-vous Francais?
The way you move with the waves
The tide is pulling away
Got a million different things
Running through my brain
All your mermaid games got me going insane, oh yeah

The children of the ocean
Got their positive emotion
Take me to the place I wanna go
Life ain't always easy
But the simple things do please me
Like the way the water
The way the water flows

Could it be?

There's a pretty little lady in the sea
You can call me crazy but she's calling me
So I guess I'll have to paddle out to play
Which way would you go?

The children of the ocean
Got their positive emotion
Take me to the place I wanna go
Life ain't always easy
But the simple things do please me
Like the way the water
The way the water flows

Go and tell me your name
Parlez-vous Francais?
The way you move with the waves
The tide is pulling away
Got a million different things
Running through my brain
All your mermaid games got me going insane
