## Lyrics

**Merman Rock Singer**: *(laughs, speaking)* Hey, listen up, everybody! It's story time! This one's about a mermaid with the real loud voice. Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Listen up!

*(sings)* The one's a little mermaid named Melissa Screech.

She got caught in a typhoon and washed up on a beach.

She was kinda helpless. Prince Charming came along. He said-

**Prince Charming**: I've heard you mermaids, and sing a lovely song!

**Merman Rock Singer**: Uh-huh!

**Prince Charming**: There's nothing that I love more than music on the beach!

I bet you sing like an angel! So, sing, Melissa Screech!

**Merman Rock Singer**: Screechin', screechin' on the beach!

Mermaid Ms. Melissa Screech!

Voice as charming as a leech!

Mermaid Ms. Melissa Screech!

*(spoken)* Let me tell you, buddy, she was loud. But, I kinda dug it. Take it away, Melissa! Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Oh, yeah!

**Melissa Screech**: I'm not much of a dancer,

'cause of my fishy tail.

And if I try to act nice,

I'm guaranteed to fail.

**Merman Rock Singer**: Okay!

**Melissa Screech**: The one thing is for certain on all this lousy beach...

I'm not much singin', but I can really SCREEEEECH! *(screeching noises)*

Merman Rock Singer: Screechin', screechin' on the beach!

Mermaid Ms. Melissa Screech!

Voice as charming as a leech!

Mermaid Ms. Melissa Screech!

Screechin', screechin' on the beach!

Mermaid Ms. Melissa Screech!

The prince dude said-

**Prince Charming**: I hate her!

**Merman Rock Singer**: And threw the girl away.

Melissa got insulted and vowed to make him pay.

She called on the Sea Witch.

She told her what she planned.

**Melissa Screech**: Make my screech bewitched!

Put him in my commit-it-it-ent!

**Sea Witch**: You're my kind of mermaid!

So, here's the spell I teach!

I guarantee he'll love you when he hears you screech!

**Merman Rock Singer**: Screechin', screechin' on the beach!

Mermaid Ms. Melissa Screech!

Once more girl into the breach.

Mermaid Ms. Melissa Screech!

**Melissa Screech**: *(screeching noises)*

**Merman Rock Singer**: *(spoken)* Oh, doesn't that hurt? (laughs) Go for it! Wow! That was a good one! (laughs)

(sings) Melissa caught Prince Charming Dude and said-

**Melissa Screech**: You've got no choice!

Forever, you must hook her for my screeching voice!

To hear me is to love me!

So, listen to my speech!

You've gotta peel your ears back,

And hear me really SCREEEEECH! *(screeching noises)*

Once more girl into the breach.

Mermaid Ms. Melissa Screech!

*(spoken)* Woah, your eardrum is gonna fall out! Wow, this reminds me of a concert I went to a long time ago. You're awesome! Woo!

*(sings)* She sang just like a siren.

Prince Charming was enslaved.

Although her screech was ugly,

It was the sound he craved.

**Prince Charming**: *(vocalizes)*

**Merman Rock Singer**: Now, he swims beside her,

And bugs her royally!

**Prince Charming**: *(spoken)* I'm coming, Melissa!

**Merman Rock Singer**: Because, she hears him screeching,

For all eternity!

**Prince Charming**: *(vocalizes)*

Merman Rock Singer: She's stuck with Prince Dude screechin',

For all eternity!

She has to hear him screechin',

For all eternity! Woo!

She'd better love that screechin',

For all eternity!

**Melissa Screech**: *(screams)*

**Merman Rock Singer**: *(laughs)* Cool!
