NEPTUNE'S DAUGHTER
From the Broadway Revue "Ziegfeld Follies Of 1914"
(Grant Clarke / Jean Schwartz)
Down by the seaside
Where waves were rolling
A boy went strolling
Moonlight night
He was watching the fish play
That very evening, beside the water
Sat Neptune's daughter
When he spied her pretty face he cried
Lovely little Neptune's daughter
Living underneath the water
I love you, Yes I do
You seem to me, to be lonely
When the moon begins to glimmer
If I were a deep sea swimmer
Then I'd go down below
My little queen of the sea
Once he went fishing
Where waves were rolling
He started strolling, hours went by
Then the shadows began to fall
His heart was lonely
He sat there thinking
The sun was sinking
>From the blue there came a voice he knew
Lovely little Neptune's daughter
Living underneath the water
I love you, yes I do
You seem to me to be lonely
When the moon begins to glimmer
If I were a deep sea swimmer
Then I'd go down below
My little queen of the sea
