The outside world is a mess
Life under the sea is better than everything that they have up there
You think that in other lakes the algae are greener
And you dream of going up there, what a huge mistake!
Don't you see that your own world has no comparison?
What could be out there that causes such excitement?
Under the sea, under the sea
You live serene, being a mermaid you're happy
They work nonstop and under the sun, just for a change
While we always float
The fish are very happy, here they have freedom
The fish there are sad, their homes are made of glass
The life of those fish doesn't tend to be very long
If the owner feels like it, they're going to eat me
Under the sea, under the sea
Nobody fries us or cooks us in the pan
If you don't want to risk it and avoid problems
Among bubbles you must stay
There's always rhythm and we feel it naturally
The stingray will play, the sturgeon will accompany
You just listen, here's the beat
The flute's already playing, carp on the harp
Pay attention to the double bass
You'll hear the trumpets with the drum
With the marimba and the violin
The trout dancing, the grouper singing
And the little fish blowing the bugle
Finally the trombone will blow
Yes, under the sea, under the sea
The dancers, they are the sardines, come dance
What world do you want to explore if our band starts to play?
And the clams are castanets, under the sea
And the slugs are so funny under the sea
The snail is a great artist
And the bubbles fill the dance floor
So that you dance there's a good party
