Da seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up dere
But dat is a big mistake
Just look at da world around you
Right here on de ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for
Under da sea, under da sea
Darling it's better down where it's wetter, take it from me
Up on da shore dey work all day
Out in da sun dey slave away
While we devotin' full time to floatin'
Under da sea
Down here all de fish is happy
As off t'rough da waves dey roll
da fish on da land ain't happy
dey sad 'cause dey in da bowl
But fish in da bowl is lucky
dey in for a worser fate
One day when da boss get hungry
Guess who gon' be on da plate
Under da sea, under da sea
Nobody beat us, fry us and eat us in fricassee
We what da land folks loves to cook
Under da sea we off da hook
We got no troubles, life is da bubbles
Under da sea Under da sea
Since life is sweet here, we got da beat here, naturally
Even da sturgeon an' de ray
dey get de urge 'n start to play
We got de spirit, you got to hear it
Under da sea
da newt play da flute
de carp play de harp
de plaice play de bass
And dey soundin' sharp
da bass play da brass
da chub play da tub
da fluke is the duke of soul
da ray he can play
de ling's on de strings
da trout rockin' out
da blackfish she sings
da smelt and da sprat
dey know where it's at
An' oh, dat blowfish blow
Under da sea, under da sea
When da sardine begin da beguine, it's music to me
What do dey got, a lot of sand
We got a hot crustacean band
Each little clam here know how to jam here
Under da sea
Each little slug here cutting a rug here
Under da sea
Each little snail here know how to wail here
dat's why it's hotter under da water
Ya, we in luck here, down in de muck here
Under da sea
