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. 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?
Under the sea, 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!
(tiny music break)
Yeah, under the sea Under the sea (underwater bubble-humming)
(dance break)
Darling, it's better down where it's wetter, Under the sea! We got no troubles, life is the bubbles! That's why it's hotter Under the water! Ya we in luck here Down in the muck here! Under the sea!
Rainbow Connection
Why are there so many songs about rainbows, and what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it. I know they're wrong wait and see. Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me!
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered when wished on the morning star? Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it; look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing, What do we think we might see? Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me!
All of us under its spell, we know that it's probably magic!
Have you been half asleep, and have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name. Is this the sweet sound, that calls the young sailors? The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it. It's something that I'm supposed to be. Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me!
Lah dah dah dee dah dah doo, Lah dah dah dah dee dah dah doo.
