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, ha, ha...

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's gon'

be on the plate

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

under the sea

since life is sweet here

we got the beat

here 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

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

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!

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 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...
