The human world is a mess
Life under the sea is way better than the life they've got on land
The reed's always greener in the swamp next door
You'd love to live on land, hello disaster
Take a good look at the world around you in the scented ocean
We throw a carnival every day, you won't find better
Under the sea, under the sea
Honey it's way better, everybody's happy
Up there they work all day, slaves and prisoners
While we dive like sponges
Here the fish crack up laughing
The waves are a real treat
Up there they scale off and freak out
Spinning in their fishbowl
The bowl, gotta say, is pure bliss
For their cannibal buddies
If Mister Fish isn't well-behaved
Under the sea, under the sea
There's no broth
For their stew we say no
Under the sea there's no hook
We stroll around, we blow bubbles
Life is awesome, better than on land, I'm telling you
Yeah, I'm telling you hee hee
You see the sturgeon and the ray
They've jumped into reggae
We've got rhythm, it's dynamite
The carp plays the harp
The scorpionfish the bass
Pollock is the god of Soul
The bass and the sprat laugh and go wild
When the sardine biguines a biguine
They've got sand, that's for sure
We've got the jazz band and the pals
We've got the clam clams for a jim-jam
The sea slugs with a hell of a beat
And the periwinkles to set the tempo
It's frenetic, it's fantastic
