G C G C G C G C G C G C The daughter of the fish and the ram G C G Said "I am who I am C G C G C And what I am is a freak G C G C Of nature" G C G C The daughter of the ram and the fish G C G Always had one secret wish C G C G C That someone would love her G C G C Someday G Em C G But who could love someone with scales and horns? G Em C G A girl who was cursed since the day she was born G Em D C She cried and she whined and she hated herself G Em D C She said, "maybe if I tried I could be someone else" G C G C G C G C G C G C So the daughter of the fish and the ram G C G Visited a magical clam C G C G The oldest and wisest creature C G C G C In the sea G C G C She said "Magical clam, take pity G C G I only want to be pretty" C G C G C And the clam scratched his shell G C G C And he told her G Em C G "I will give you this magical pearl G Em C G It'll grant any wish that you have in the world G Em D C But even the magic that I possess G Em D C Can never bring you true happiness" ("You gotta take care of that yourself," said the clam) G C G C G C G C G C G C So the power of the magical pearl G C G Turned her into a beautiful girl C G C G And she swam ashore C G C G C And crawled up on dry land G C G C But all of the people she met G C G Said "why is this girl soaking wet" C G C G And they laughed at her C G And they called her weird G Em C G Sure, she might not have been ugly anymore G Em C G But she was just as lonely as she was before G Em D C So, crying, the girl fled back to the sea G Em D C And she asked the clam, "Why won't your magic work on me?"
