For me, songwriting is something like breathing: I just do it. But that doesn't mean you're fantastic.-Adam Duritz

I wish I'd been able to record this but Fiona made up her own song in the bathtub while playing with her Little Mermaid toy. As far as I recall it went like this.



My hair is beautiful

And I have purple

And I'm the mermaid

But the best part is

I don't have to do anything



And I'm the mermaid

But the best part is

I don't have to dance

I don't have to fly

I don't have to....

And so



And don't cry Mama (here she paused while I assured her I wasn't going to cry)

And I'm the mermaid

But the best part is

I don't have to do any thing

And now I'm ni night (and she laid the wash cloth tenderly over the mermaid)
