I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue
And its hey to the starboard, heave-ho
Look out lad, a mermaid be waiting for you
In mysterious fathoms below
Fathoms below, below
From whence wayward westerlies blow
Where Triton is king and his merpeople sing
In mysterious fathoms below
Heave-ho
Heave-ho
Heave-ho
In mysterious fathoms below
We are the daughters of Triton
Great father who loves us and named us well
Aquata
Adrona
Arista
Atina
Adella
Alana
And then there is the youngest in her musical debut
Our seventh little sister
Were presenting her to you
To sing a song Sebastian wrote
Her voice is like a bell
She's our sister Ari--
[Maybe he's right. Maybe there is something the matter with me. I just don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things could be bad.]
Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold
Looking around here you'd think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got whosits and whatsits galore
You want thingamabobs?
I've got twenty
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see them dancin
Walking around on those
What do ya call them?
Feet
Flippin your fins you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin, dancin
Strollin along down a whats that word again?
Street
Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin free
Wish I could be
Part of thay world
What would I give if I could live
Outta these waters?
What would I pay to spend a day
Warm on the sand?
Betcha on land
They understand
Bet the don't repremand their daughters
Bright young women
Sick of swimmin
Ready to stand
And ready to know what the people know
Ask em my questions and get some answers
Whats a fire and why does it whats the word?
Burn
When's it my turn
Wouldn't I love
Love to explore that world up above
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world
[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 looking for?
Under the Sea, Under the Sea
Darlin' its better down where its wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devoting full time to floating
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 gets hungry
Guess who gonna be on the plate
