Song information
A friend sent me a list of what she called "amusing euphemisms for the mommy parts", and I jokingly mentioned that they all sounded like the titles for bubblegum pop songs from the '60s. And then I started writing those songs and lo! the Cupcake Parade was born. This was the first, and was written and arranged with the intention that it would sound like one of those songs played during a chase sequence on Scooby Doo. Like with "The Creamery", these are among the filthiest radio friendly lyrics I've ever written. It was posted on iComp and MacJams in 2014.

Lyrics
Deep within the sea
That’s where you’ll find me
Hoping I can be
Inside the mermaid’s purse
I’ll be safe and sound
Swimming all around
Wond’ring what is found
Inside the mermaid’s purse

Come on, darling, it’ll be a pleasure
Looking for that magical treasure
If you’d like to come, little girl
You can help me find that pearl

[scat verse]

It’ll be such fun
Fun for everyone
Learning what is done
Inside the mermaid’s purse
Darling, if I may
I would like to play
Baby, let me stay
Inside the mermaid’s purse

Come on, darling, it’ll be a pleasure
Looking for that magical treasure
If you’d like to come, little girl
You can help me find that pearl

[scat verse]

What a lovely night
While you hold me tight
I can fit just right
Inside the mermaid’s purse
In the salty foam
That’s where I will roam
Sliding into home
Inside the mermaid’s purse

Come on, darling, it’ll be a pleasure
Looking for that magical treasure
If you’d like to come, little girl
You can help me find that pearl

[scat verse]
[Repeat and fade]

Hee heee! This is fun... And by that I mean "Octopus's Garden" fun John. One always sees mermaids sitting seaside on rocks combing their hair. Well now we know where they keep their brushes when not in use! 😜 You are a master of the double entendre... 👌👍👏🤩😋

John this is pure 1965, with a bunch of doublespeak, for amusement. Thanks for posting.

This is great. Actually Mermaid's Purse is the nave of the egg of a fish called a skate. https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-a-mermaids-purse-2291442 Of course, this is something quite different and much more fun.

Nice full mix. Vocals are coming through nice and clear and present. To be honest, this piece is a bit unsettling to me because it feels like what the man in the white van giving away candy would sing. But with that said, it's a well thought out, arranged, written, recorded, and performed song. Nicely done.

To my ears, it does, indeed, sound like something The Archies or Groovie Goolies could have done back in the day. It is pretty darn cool.
