lyrics

Is that a mermaid?
Can you make a mermaid?

I don't know
I don't know

I'm gonna make a key

I don't know
I don't know

This is not a key yet
I gotta do a hole!

How do I put a hole in it?
It'd have to be sharper

I don't know
I don't know

A big fish
and this is a person

This is the key
you will never get the key again!
