Chorus:
      A
The children of the ocean
           G         D
Got their positive emotion
 A                            G D
Take me to the place I wanna go
 A
Life ain't always easy
         G                 D
But the simple things do please me
          A                              G D
Like the way the water always seems to flow

Could it be?
There's a pretty little lady in the sea
You can call me crazy but she's calling me
So I guess I'll have to paddle out to play
I say

Chorus:
The children of the ocean
Got their positive emotion
Take me to the place I want to go
Life isn't always easy
But the simple things do please me
Like the way the water always seems to flow

Go and tell me your name
Parlez-vous Francais?
The way you move with the waves
The tide is pulling away
Got a million different things running through
my brain
All your mermaid games got me going insane - x2

Chorus:
The children of the ocean
Got their positive emotion
Take me to the place I wanna go
Life ain't always easy
But the simple things do please me
Like the way the water
The way the water flows

Could it be?
There's a pretty little lady in the sea
You can call me crazy but she's calling me
So I guess I'll have to paddle out to play
Which way would you go?

The children of the ocean
Got their positive emotion
Take me to the place I wanna go

Go and tell me your name
Parlez-vous Francais?
The way you move with the waves
The tide is pulling away
Got a million different things running through
my brain
All your mermaid games got me going insane
