Ariel
Listen to me
The human world is a mess
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
Said under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Oh 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
Woa 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
An' oh that blowfish blow, Yeah
(You dream about going up there)
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
