(Ariel, listen to me. The human world, it's a mess.
Life under the sea is better ting anything they got up there.)
De seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But dat 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 de sea
Under de 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 dey slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under de sea
Down here all de fish is happy
As off through de waves dey roll
De fish on de land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in their bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when de boss get hungry
Guess who's gon' be on de plate
Oh No
Under de sea
Under de sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off de hook
We got no troubles
Life is de bubbles
Under de sea
Under the sea
Under the sea
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here
Naturally
Even the sturgeon an' the ray
They get the urge 'n' 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 soundin' 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 rockin' out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it's at
An' oh that blowfish blow
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 got a hot crustacean band
Each little clam here
know how to jam here
Under the sea
Each little slug here
Cuttin' a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail here
Know how to wail here
That's why it's hotter
Under the water
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck here
Under the sea
