Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ariel, listen to me
The human world, it's a mess
Life under the sea is better than anything they got up there
[Verse 2]
The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
[Verse 3]
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you looking for?
[Verse 4]
Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling, it's better down where it's wetter
Take it from me
[Verse 5]
Up on the shore, they work all day
Out in the sun, they slave away
While we devoting, full time to floating
Under the sea
[Verse 6]
Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain't happy
They're sad 'cause they're in the bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss gets hungry
Guess who's gon' be on the plate (Oh no)
[Verse 7]
Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us, fry us and eat us, in fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea, we off the hook
We got no troubles, life is the bubbles
[Verse 8]
Under the sea (Under the sea)
Under the sea (Under the sea)
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here naturally (Naturally)
Even the sturgeon and the ray
They get the urge and start to play
We got the spirit, you got to hear it
Under the sea
[Verse 9]
The newt play the flute, the carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass and they're sounding sharp
The bass play the brass, the chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul (Yeah)
[Verse 10]
The ray, he can play the ling on the strings
The trout rocking out, the blackfish, she sings
The smelt and the spray they know where it's at
And, oh, that blowfish blow
[Verse 11]
Yeah, under the sea (Under the sea)
Under the sea (Under the sea)
When the sardine begin the beguine
It's music to me (Music is to me)
[Verse 12]
What do they got, a lot of sand?
We got a hot crustacean band
Each little clam here, know how to jam here
Under the sea
[Verse 13]
Each little slug here, cutting a rug 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 in the muck here
Under the sea
[Verse 14]
Jumping jellyfish, Ariel
I've never seen you in such a good mood
[Verse 15]
Oh Sebastian, your music, it's so wonderful
It makes me wanna sing and dance
