	This melodic, Celtic-influenced song is based on the fairy tale "The Little Mermaid." After she has gone to the witch, drunk a horrible potion, and gone through agony to become a human, she washes up on the beach only to find that the prince she loves has married someone else.

	Story Behind the Song This story has irked me from the age of five; why did The Little Mermaid have to give up her legs and become human for love? Why couldn't the prince become a merman? Lyrics Ah, ah, ah. Chorus: Starfish, octopus, flounders flat parrotfish, corals, a flock of seabats. Lost my companions in my ocean home now my curse is always to roam Ah, ah, ah. A cruel prince promised me his heart Now it's too late to stop what I started I went to the witch to get these legs I didn't ask, I practically begged Chorus Hidden in a coral cave I drank the potion, I tried to be brave Washed up on the rocks to be his bride Only to see his new queen by his side Ah, ah, ah.
