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 is happy

As off through the waves dey roll



The fish on the land ain't happy

They sad 'cause they in their bowl



But fish in the bowl is lucky

They in for a worser fate



One day when the boss gets hungry

Guess whos gon' 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 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

The lings 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)

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!!
