Under the Sea Words by Howard Ashman © 1989, music by Alan MenkenSebastian: 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 around you, What more is you looking 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 devoting, full-time to floating, Under the sea! (Repeat in sing along) Sebastian/Lobster: Down here, all the fish is happy Sebastian: As off through the waves they roll Both: The fish on the land ain't happy, Sebastian: They sad 'cause they in their bowl But fish in the bowl is lucky, Both: They in for a worser fate! One day when the boss get hungry... Deep Voice: Guess who gon' be on the plate? Sebastian: Uh-oh! 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! Under the sea, (Snails: Under the sea) Under the sea (Snails: Under the sea) Since life is sweet here, we got the beat here Naturally Snails: Naturally-y-y-y Sebastian: 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! 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! (Fish: 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! (Instrumental bridge (First chorus sung a third time in sing along)) Yeah! Under the sea, (Chorus: Under the sea) Under the sea. (Chorus: Under the sea) When the sardine begin the beguine, It's music to me! (Chorus: 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! 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!
