Under the Sea - Various Artists

Written by：Howard Ashman

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

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 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

The ray he can play the ling's 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 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

Ya we in luck here down in the muck here under the sea
