The Ballad of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy Lyrics

[Hook] x2
I wonder if these other rappers spend too much time on Asshub
But I wish I was a merman so I could fall asleep in the bathtub
And I would never drown
And I would never drown

[Verse 3]
I'm far from the heroism of Christopher McCandless
Merely a young man taking these visions for granted
A notebook operates as a lined paper flask
Take a swig and then you pass

Writing rhymes during class
Maybe we should've given Milton his stapler back
These Wisconsin winters promulgate shivers to my pelvis
At a drive-in diner and I'm listening to Elvis
Holding palaver with Andy and wishing we were elvish

I'm sorry I'm so selfish
I'm sorry I'm so selfish

[Hook]
I wonder if these other rappers spend too much time on Asshub
But I wish I was a merman so I could fall asleep in the bathtub
And I would never drown
And I would never drown
I wonder if these other rappers spend too much time on Asshub
But I wish I was a merman so I could fall asleep in the bathtub

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
