Skinny Minnie [Fishtail] Lyrics

Capture me! capture me! capture me
Fish tail!

Skinny Minnie skinny Minnie fishtail capture me tonight
Skinny Minnie skinny Minnie fishtail
Squeezing me tonight
Hey!
Skinny Minnie skinny Minnie fishtail
Come and capture me
I'll knock knock knock upon the rock until you capture me

Big Manuel is a fisherman, he fish fish fish all the time he can
He fish all night and he fish all day.
I think he gonna fish his life away

One night so bright in his boat I hide he rolled the
boat on the ocean wide then he stopped at a great big rock
He sing this song and then he knock knock knock

Hey!
Skinny Minnie skinny Minnie fishtail
Capture me tonight
Skinny Minnie skinny Minnie fishtail
Squeezing me tonight
Hey
Skinny Minnie skinny Minnie fishtail
Come and capture me
I'll knock knock knock upon the rock until you
capture me, capture me, capture me, you capture me!

He knock, knock, knock on the rock like this
The mermaid fish come up to swish
They swish and sway for the fisherman,
She like to catch him, cause she knows she can!

The mermaid fish is all so nice, she swish her tail and roll her eyes
Big Manuel fish night and day,
he fish for skinny Minnie swish and sway

Hey!
Skinny Minnie skinny Minnie fishtail
Capture me tonight
Skinny Minnie skinny Minnie fishtail
Squeezing me tonight Hey
Skinny Minnie skinny Minnie fishtail
Come and capture me
I'll knock knock knock upon the rock
Until you capture me, capture me, capture me, you capture me!

Tonight we buy all the fish we can
Tonight we fish like a fisherman
Tonight we roll to the great big rock
We sing this song and then we knock knock knock
Hey!
Skinny Minnie skinny Minnie fishtail
Capture me tonight
Skinny Minnie skinny Minnie fishtail
Squeezing me tonight Hey
Skinny Minnie skinny Minnie fishtail
Come and capture me
I'll knock knock knock upon the rock
Until you capture me, capture me, capture me, you capture me!
I'll knock, knock, knock upon the rock
Until you capture me.
Skinny Minnie skinny Minnie fishtail!
