Cast

 * Count von Count as Sebastian

Lyrics
Count von Count: Ariel, listen to me. The human world, it's a mess. Life under the sea is better than any'ting 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 'de world around you Right here on the ocean floor Such wonderful things surround you What more is you lookin' for?

Under the sea 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 devotin' Full-time to floatin', Under the sea!

(Repeat in sing along)

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 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 gon' be on the plate?

Uh-oh! Under the sea Under the sea Nobody beat us Fry us and eat us In fricassee

We what 'de 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) Under the sea (under the sea)

Since life is sweet here, We got the beat here Naturally Naturally-y-y-y

Even the sturgeon an' the ray They get the urge 'n' 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)

The 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!

(Instrumental bridge (First chorus sung a third time in sing along))

Yeah! Under the sea (Under the sea) Under the sea (Under the sea) When the sardine Begin the beguine, It's music to me (Music 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 Cuttin' 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!
