  • Oh oh, oh oh, oh
    Oh oh, oh oh, oh

    I love Pensacola, and Apalachicola
    And Tampa, St. Pete my particular bare feet
    Like to splash in the waves
    Maybe misbehave, occasionally
    I spend a fair amount of time at the Flora-Bama line
    Destined to hang out more at Mobile and Gulf Shores
    A very special chart, is locked in my heart
    Of places that I love to be

    Cause I'm a Gulf Coast girl
    Partial to the warm winds and the salty water
    Gulf Coast girl
    Yeah, I got a little mermaid in me
    And in the whole wide world
    No other place where the days and the nights run hotter
    Gulf Coast girl
    Right at home on my American sea

    Have a world of fun, on a Pascagoula run
    And you might get lucky on a beach in Biloxi
    Get tanner, get thinner and go home a winner, occasionally
    We can surf Boca Chica and Galveston Bay
    Ride horses on the beach in South Padre
    No we're not in Kansas. Hola Port Aransas!
    Do you wanna two-step with me?

    Cause I'm a Gulf Coast girl
    Partial to the warm winds and the salty water
    Gulf Coast girl
    Yeah, I got a little mermaid in me
    And in the whole wide world
    No other place where the days and the nights run hotter
    Gulf Coast girl
    Right at home on my American sea

    She's a Louisiana, little bove the mighty Mississip
    Right down from New Orleans!
    Give me a po boy to go, I never was a show
    And I know, just what that means

    And I'm a Gulf Coast girl
    I'm Gulf Coast girl
    I gotta little mermaid in me

    And in the whole wide world
    No other place where the days and the nights run hotter
    Gulf Coast girl
    Yeah, I'm right at home on my American sea
    I'm right at home on my American sea
    I gotta little mermaid in me Writer/s: Jimmy Buffett, Mac McAnally
