Original Broadway Cast of The Little Mermaid
Under the Sea
[SEBASTIAN]
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, 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

Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll

[SOME SEA CREATURES]
The fish on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in the bowl

[OTHER SEA CREATURES]
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
[SEA CREATURES]
One day when the boss get hungry

[SEBASTIAN]
Guess who gon' be on the plate?

[SEBASTIAN & SOME SEA CREATURES]
The plaice play the bass, and they soundin' sharp

[SEBASTIAN & SEA CREATURES]
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 rockin' out, the blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat, they know where it's at
An' oh, that blowfish blow
