[Music]
oh come with me to the rolling sea while
the weather's calm and still
and we'll have some fun and laughter
with the adventures of portland bill
this is my loiters guillermo
[Music]
ross and crumbly were busy
working open appetite
huh i'm hungry said crumbly
well i said i'll catch us a nice silver
herring for supper
oh no not fish again complain grass
hey it would be nice to have a change a
great comedy
i wish you could catch a tin of baked
beans
for that to happen i says i'd have to
see what the mermaids could leave
mermaids said
they don't exist oh yes they do i
chuckled
i often hear them singing down by the
rocks
star for nonsense said grummany and they
both went inside mumbling
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
well i didn't like that much because
when those two get together they're
generally up to no good
and i was right
no one believes in mermaids whispered
comedy they don't exist i reckon bill's
pulling our leg
but i have an idea we can turn the joke
back on him
first we need a tin of baked beans then
our tractor's attention when you tied
the beans onto the end of his fishing
line
we'll tell him the mermaids put it
there that's a good idea gravity i can't
wait to see bill's face
[Music]
well i was outside fishing for supper
when i saw the lads out of the corner of
my eye
[Laughter]
[Music]
suddenly i heard a strange voice calling
my name
oh bill oh bill
it's me
the better me
i'm over here
well i looked around but i couldn't see
anyone so i carried on fishing
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
now when ross tried to walk my line onto
the tin of beans he couldn't reach and
he dropped the tin into the sea
oh no
no we can't play our trick on bill
now you'll never believe this but
suddenly ross looked up and saw a real
live mermaid
and she spoke to him
hello
my name's belle
whoa
i think you dropped this
said the mermaid as she tied the tint of
my fishing line and giving it a little
ting she dived back into the sea
well of course ross was amazed
[Music]
i caught something i cried that which
comedy rushed down
fooled you
it wasn't a mermaid it was ross who tied
that tint your line
but just then ross came charging up the
steps hey oh
chronogy call ross i saw one
bill's right i saw a real live mermaid
oh
said granny
you can't fool me
next thing you'll be telling me that
they gave us a trifle for afters no i
said

trifle i don't know
