    Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?
    Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
    Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
    The girl who has everything?

    Look at this trove, treasures untold
    How many wonders can one cavern hold?
    Looking around here you'd think
    "Sure, she's got everything"

    I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
    I've got whozits and whatzits galore
    You want thingamabobs?
    I've got twenty!
    But who cares? No big deal
    I want more

    I wanna be where the people are
    I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'
    Walking around on those
    What do you call 'em? Oh, feet!

    Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
    Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
    Strollin' along down a
    What's that word again? Street

    Up where they walk, up where they run
    Up where they stay all day in the sun
    Wanderin' free, wish I could be
    Part of that world

    What would I give if I could live
    Outta these waters?
    What would I pay to spend a day
    Warm on the sand?
    Betcha on land they understand
    Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
    Bright young women, sick of swimmin'
    Ready to stand

    And ready to know what the people know
    Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
    What's a fire and why does it
    What's the word? Burn!

    When's it my turn?
    Wouldn't I love, love to explore that shore up above?
    Out of the sea
    Wish I could be
    Part of that world

    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)
    Under the sea (Under the sea)
    Darlin', 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're 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? (Uh-oh!)

    Under the sea (Under the sea)
    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 (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

    The newt play the flute
    The carp play the harp
    The plaice play the bass
    And they're soundin' sharp
    The bass play the brass
    The chub play the tub
    The fluke is the duke of soul (Yeah)
    The ray, he can play
    The lings 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

    Under the sea (Under the sea)
    Under the sea (Under the sea)
    When the sardine
    Begin the beguine
    It's music to me (It's music to me)
    What do they got? A lot of sand
    We got a hot crustacean band
    Each little clam here
    Know how to jam here
    Under the sea
    Each little slug here
    Cuttin' a rug here
    Under the sea
    Each little snail here
    Know how to wail here
    That's why it's hotter
    Under the water
    Ya, we're in luck here
    Down in the muck here
    Under the sea

    Ain't it a shame, too bad
    He gonna miss the girl

    I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
    They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
    But you'll find that nowadays
    I've mended all my ways
    Repented, seen the light, and made a switch

    True, yes, I've been a wicked witch
    But I've found a friend who is my match
    And I fortunately know a little magic
    It's a talent that I always have possessed
    And here lately, please don't laugh
    I use it on behalf of the miserable, lonely, and depressed
    Pathetic

    Poor unfortunate souls
    In pain, in need
    This one longing to be thinner
    That one wants to get the girl
    And do I help them?
    Yes, indeed
    Those poor unfortunate souls
    So sad, so true
    They come flocking to my cauldron
    Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
    And I help them?
    Yes, I do

    Now it's happened once or twice
    Someone couldn't pay the price
    And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
    Yes, I've had the odd complaint
    But on the whole, I've been a saint
    To those poor unfortunate souls

    Have we got a deal?
    Those poor unfortunate souls
    So sad, so true
    They come flocking to my cauldron
    Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
    And I help them?
    Yes, I do
