Lyrics

[Intro]

Ariel, listen to me

The human world, it's a mess

Life under the sea is better than anything they got up there

[Verse 1]

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?

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

Down here, all the fish is happy

As off through 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 in for a worser fate

One day when the boss get hungry

Guess who gon' be on the plate? (Uh-oh)

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

The newt play the flute, the carp play the harp

The plaice play the bass and they sounding sharp

The bass play the brass, the chub play the tub

The fluke is the duke of soul (Yeah)

The ray, he can play the lings on the strings

The trout rocking out, the blackfish, she sings

The smelt and the sprat, they know where it's at

And, oh, that blowfish blow

[Chorus]

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)

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

[Chorus]

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
