There is a beautiful lake near me which I like to swim in all summer long. You can swim out for a few minutes and get to a mini island which I affectionately call the Mermaid Rock. #banjo

Do you want to swim out to the mermaid rock The sun won’t set til 9 o’clock It’s a perfect way to spend a summer day Down by the mermaid rock

Let me show you a place Where you lose your thoughts in open space Where you step away from that old rat race Down by the mermaid rock

Do you want to swim out to the mermaid rock The sun won’t set til 9 o’clock It’s a perfect way to spend a summer day Down by the mermaid rock

Drop your troubles in the lake Let all your worries dissipate All mistakes are washed away Down by the mermaid rock

Do you want to swim out to the mermaid rock The sun won’t set til 9 o’clock It’s a perfect way to spend a summer day Down by the mermaid rock

Sweetness of summer Carefree days Hopefully wonder If they can stay It wouldn’t be half as sweet To swim out there for 52 weeks Give us summer, take the other three But first I’m going to the mermaid rock
