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 looking for
Under the sea, under the sea Darlin' 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 are happy As off through the waves day roll
The fish on the land ain't happy They're sad 'cause they're in a bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky They're in for a worser fate
One day when the boss gets hungry Guess whos goin' be on the plate (uh-oh)
Under the sea, under the sea Nobody beats us Fry us and eat us in fricasee
We what the land folks love 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 strugeon 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're soundin sharp. The bass play the brass The chub play the tub The fluke is the duke of soul (yeah)
They ray he can play He lings on the strings He 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) 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 Cutin' 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!
