If you don't know how to swim

A pillow she made of a tortoise shell
A

and placed beneath my head

She served me shrimp and caviar
C

upon a silver dish.

She was just my taste right

down to the waist,
Am

but the rest of her was fish.

but I only gave her half my heart.

How I loved her eyes and

All but her silvery scales.

And set my heart a -whirl.

For her upper part was a big ugly fish,

but the rest of her was girl,

and her leg s they were a work of art,
Em
and I loved that girl with all my heart.
Am
C

and that's how I end my tale.
