Lyrics[]
Sebastian: Oh!
I hear the music playing
It's swinging and it's swaying
A little rhapsody
Today we're so delighted
Today we're all united
Here on the land and sea
I think the sails are sailing
Even the whales are whaling
They're swimming fancy-free
We're feeling better now
We sing together now
Here on the land and sea
Sebastian and Melody: La-dee-da pick up the beat
Move your fins and move your feet
Life is sweet, life is grand
Blowing bubbles with the bass sprats band
Everybody now!
Ariel: There's no more stormy weather
Melody: Now we can sing together
Ariel and Melody: In perfect harmony
Ariel, Melody and Sebastian: We're feeling better now
We sing together now
Here on the land and sea
Sebastian: Those on land sing
Land Folk: "La-de-dah-do"
Sebastian: Those below sing
Fluke: "Do-dee-do-do"
Sebastian: Life is sweet as sweet can be
On the land and on the sea
Everybody sing!
We're feeling better now
We sing together now
Here on the land and sea
All: We're feeling better now
We sing together now
Here on the land and sea!
Melody: (giggles)
Sebastian:
I hear the music playing
It's swinging and it's swaying
A little rhapsody
Today we're so delighted
Today we're all united
Here on the land and sea
I think the sails are sailing
Even the whales are whaling
They're swimming fancy-free
We're feeling better now
We sing together now
Here on the land and sea
La-dee-da pick up the beat
Move your fins and move your feet
Life is sweet, life is grand
Blowing bubbles with the bass sprats band
Everybody now!
Ariel:
There's no more stormy weather
Melody:
Now we can sing together
Ariel and Melody:
In perfect harmony
Ariel, Melody and Sebastian:
We're feeling better now
We sing together now
Here on the land and sea
Sebastian:
Those on land sing
Land Folk:
La-de-dah-do
Sebastian:
Those below sing
Fluke:
"Do-dee-do-do"
Sebastian:
Life is sweet as sweet can be
On the land and on the sea
Everybody sing!
Sebastian and Fish folk:
La la la la de da
La la la la de da
La la da da de de
Sebastian:
We're feeling better now
We sing together now
Here on the land and sea
All:
La la la la de da
La la la la de da
La la da da de de
We're feeling better now
We sing together now
Here on the land and sea!
