Under the Sea Songtext
von Squirrel Nut Zippers

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′ll 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

Under the sea, under the sea
Since life is sweet here we got the beat here
Naturally
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

Each little clammy in his pajamies
Under the sea
Each little slug here cuttin′ a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail here know how to wail here
Under the sea...
