  • Whoa, whoa

    Can't swim so I took a boat
    To an island so remote
    Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before
    Stayed there 'til the air was clear
    I was bored and out of tears
    Then I saw you washed up on the shore

    I offered you my coat
    Thank Goddess love can float
    Crazy how that shipwreck meant my ship was comin' in
    We talked 'til the sun went down
    Love on the Puget Sound
    My treasure map was on your skin

    Beauty in the water
    Angel on the beach
    Ocean's daughter
    I thought love was out of reach
    'Til I got her
    Had I known it could come true
    I would have wished in '92
    For a mermaid just like you, whoa
    Just like you, whoa

    Sharks green with envy, they wonder what you see in me
    Funny, but sometimes, can't help but wonder that as well
    Now life is a holiday, making up for the years I paid
    The way to this heavenly bay, it went through hell

    Beauty in the water
    Angel on the beach
    Ocean's daughter
    I thought love was out of reach
    'Til I got her
    Had I known it could come true?
    I would have wished in '92
    For a mermaid just like you, whoa
    Just like you, whoa

    Rescued you by the banyan tree
    All the girlfish in the sea
    Couldn't hold a candle to you
    They don't have a handle on you
    They don't have a scandal on you
    I love Ecco Sandals on you
    Saving me was B-I-G
    All the boyfish in the sea
    They all wish that they could be me

    Can't swim so I took a boat
    To an island so remote
    Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before

    Beauty in the water
    Angel on the beach
    Ocean's daughter
    I thought love was out of reach
    'Til I got her
    Had I known it could come true?
    I would have wished in '92
    For a mermaid just like you, whoa
    Just like you, whoa

    Just like you, whoa (Rescued you by the banyan tree)
    (All the girlfish in the sea)
    Just like you, whoa Writer/s: Amund Bjorklund, Espen Lind, Mikkel Eriksen, Pat Monahan, Tor Hermansen
