"Ariel, listen to me.
|
The human world, it's a mess.
|
Life under the sea
|
is better than
|
anything they got up there."
|
|
The seaweed is always greener
|
In somebody else's lake
|
You dream
|
about going up there
|
But that is a big mistake
|
Just look at
|
the world around you
|
Right here on the ocean floor
|
Such wonderful things surround you
|
What more is you lookin' for?
|
|
Under the sea, under the sea
|
Darling it's better down
|
where it's wetter
|
Take it from me
|
Up on the shore
|
they work all day
|
Out in the sun
|
they slave away
|
While we're devoting full time
|
to floating
|
Under the sea, ha ha...
|
|
Down here all the fish is happy
|
As after the waves they roll
|
The fish on the land ain't happy
|
They sad
|
'cause they in the bowl!
|
But fish in the bowl is lucky
|
They're in for a worser fate
|
One day when the boss get hungry
|
Guess who goin' be on the plate?
|
|
Wo-no, under the sea
|
Under the sea
|
Nobody beat us, fry us and eat us
|
In frickazee
|
We what the land folks
|
loves to cook
|
Under the sea
|
we off the hook
|
We've got no troubles,
|
life is the bubbles
|
Under the sea
|
Since life is sweet here,
|
we got the beat here
|
Naturally (naturally-ee-ee)
|
Even the sturgeon and the ray
|
They get the urge
|
and start to play
|
We've got the spirit,
|
you've got to hear it
|
Under the sea
|
|
The lute play the flute
|
The carp play the harp
|
The plaice play the bass
|
and they soundin' sharp
|
The bass play the brass
|
The chub play the tub
|
The fluke is the duke of soul
|
The ray,
|
he can play the lings on the strings
|
The trout acting out
|
The blackfish he sings
|
The smelt and the sprat
|
They know where it's at
|
And oh, that blowfish blow!
|
|
Yeah, under the sea
|
Under the sea
|
When the sardine
|
begin the beguine
|
It's music to me
|
What do they got,
|
a lot of sand?
|
We've got
|
a hot crustacean band
|
Each little clam here know
|
how to jam here
|
Under the sea
|
Each little slug here
|
cutting a rag here
|
Under the sea
|
Each little snail here
|
know how to wail here
|
That's why it's hotter
|
under the water
|
Yeah, we in luck here
|
down under the muck here
|
Under the sea
|
|
