Minnie the Mermaid was the titular character of the 1923 song by B. G. De Sylva.
The songs lyrics are the following:
''The other night I dreamed that I was down at the bottom of the sea.'' ''I met a mermaid fair who had a cottage there.'' ''Her name was Minnie and she tumbled for me.'' ''She had the tail of a fish for a train,'' ''But just the same she could sure entertain!''
''Oh, what a time I had with Minnie the mermaid Down at the bottom of the sea! I forgot my troubles there amongst the bubbles. Gee, but she was awf’ly good to me! And ev’ry night when the starfish came out, I’d hug and kiss her so, oh! Oh, what a time I had with Minnie the mermaid down in her seaweed bungalow!''
''I can’t forget those happy days, way down at the bottom of the sea. I’m really strong for her, and now I long for her, And I'm inclined to think she’s longing for me; So ev’ry night I’m in bed before nine, Hoping I’ll dream of that mermaid of mine.''
