|
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 devotin', full time to floatin' |
|
Under the sea |
|
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 |
|
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 an' the ray |
|
They get the urge an' 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 blackish, 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 |
