I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue
And it's hey to the starboard, heave-ho
Look out, lad A mermaid be waiting for you
In mysterious fathoms below
Ah, we are the daughters of Triton
Great father who loves us and named us well
Aquata
Andrina
Arista, Attina
Adella, Alana
And then there is the youngest in her musical debut
Our seventh little sister We're presenting her to you
To sing a song Sebastian wrote Her voice is like a bell
She's our sister Ari...
Fourteen hundred and ninety-two
Look at this stuff Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't ya think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't ya think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
Look at this trove Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Lookin' around here you'd think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs I got 20
But who cares No big deal
I want more
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see Wanna see 'em dancin'
Walkin' around on those...
What do ya call 'em?
Feet.
Flippin' your fins you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strollin' along down a...
What's 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 that world
What would I give if I could live
Out of these waters?
What would I pay to spend a day
Warm on the sand?
Betcha on land they understand
Bet they don't reprimand 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
What's a fire and why does it...
What's the word?
Burn?
When's it my turn? Wouldn't I love
Love to explore that shore up above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that
World
What would I give to live where you are?
What would I pay to stay here beside you?
What would I do to see you smiling at me?
Where would we walk Where would we run
If we could stay all day in the sun?
Just you and me and I could be
Part of your world
I don't know when
I don't know how
But I know something's starting right now
Watch and you'll see
Someday I'll be
Part of your
World
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
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 devoting full time to floating under the sea
Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll, yeah
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 get hungry
Guess who's gonna be on the plate
Oh, no!
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 -Naturally
Even the sturgeon and the ray
They get the urge and start to play
We got the spirit You got to hear it
Under the sea
The next 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's rocking out The blackfish, she sings
The smelt and the sprat They know where it's at
And, oh, that blowfish blow
-Yeah, under the sea -Under the sea
-Under the sea
When the sardine begin the beguine
-It's music to me -Music it is 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
Yeah, we in luck here down in the muck here
Under the sea
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light and made a switch
True? Yes.
And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And here lately, please don't laugh I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, lonely and depressed
Pathetic.
Poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
This one longing to be thinner That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them? Yes, indeed
Those poor, unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my cauldron Crying spells, Ursula, please
And I help them Yes, I do
Now it's happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em across the coals
Yes, I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls
The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore
Yes, on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word
And, after all, dear What is idle prattle for?
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who gets her man
Come on, you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead, make your choice
I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day
It won't cost much, just your voice
Ya poor, unfortunate soul
It's sad, but true
If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet you've got to pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath and go ahead and sign the scroll
Flotsam, Jetsam Now I've got her, boys
The boss is on a roll
This poor, unfortunate soul
Beluga, sevruga
Come, winds of the Caspian Sea
Larynxis, glossitis Et max laryngitis
La voce to me
Nouvelle cuisine
Maurice Chevalier
Les poissons, les poissons
How I love les poissons
Love to chop and to serve little fish
First I cut off their heads Then I pull out their bones
Ah, mais oui ça c'est toujours delish
Les poissons, les poissons
With the cleaver I hack them in two
I pull out what's inside and I serve it up fried
'Cause I love little fishes Don't you?
Here's something for tempting the palate
Prepared in the classic technique
First you pound the fish flat with the mallet
Then you slash through the skin Give the belly a slice
Then you rub some salt in
'Cause that makes it taste nice
I have missed one.
Sacrebleu, what is this?
How on Earth could I miss
Such a sweet, little succulent crab?
Quel dommage, what a loss
Here we go, in the sauce
Now some flour, I think, just a dab
Now I'll stuff you with bread It don't hurt 'cause you're dead
And you're certainly lucky, you are
'Cause it's gonna be hot in my big silver pot
Toodle-oo Mon poisson, au revoir
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why but you're dyin' to try
You wanna kiss the girl
Did you hear something?
-Yes -You want her
Look at her You know you do
Possible she want you, too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la My, oh, my
Look like the boy too shy He ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la Ain't that sad?
Ain't it a shame? Too bad he gonna miss the girl
Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon No time will be better
She don't say a word And she won't say a word
Until ya kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la Don't be scared
You got the mood prepared Go on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how You wanna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la Float along
And listen to the song Song say kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la The music play
Do what the music say You gotta kiss the girl
Kiss the girl
-Why don't you -Kiss the girl?
Go on and kiss the girl
-Go on and... -Kiss the girl
What a lovely little bride I'll make
My dear, I'll look divine
Things are working out According to my ultimate design
Soon I'll have that little mermaid
And the ocean will be mine
Now we can walk Now we can run
Now we can stay all day in the sun
Just you and me
And I can be
Part of your world
