Under the Sea
Kidzone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The seaweed is always greener i
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 soround you
What more is you lookin' for?

Under the sea
Under the sea

Darling its 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 there bowl

But the fish in 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

No body 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 bubles

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 here it
Under the sea

The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
the fluke play the duke of soul
(yeah)
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
the trout rockin' out
The blackfish she sings
The smlt and the sprat
They know where it's at
An' oh that blowfish blow

Under the sea
Under the sea
When the sardine
Begin the Beguine
It's music to me
What do they got? Alot 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 the luck here




Down in the muck here
Under the sea

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of "Under the Sea," the artist describes how underwater life is better than life on the shore. The seaweed is greener in someone else's lake, and we often dream of leaving our circumstances behind and exploring what is outside of them. However, the artist argues that one should take a closer look at the world around them, as there are so many amazing things to see and discover underwater. There are so many wonderful things that surround us in this underwater world, so what more could we need or ask for?


The lyrics suggest that life under the sea is better than life on the shore, where people spend all of their time working and slaving away under the sun. Under the sea, the fish are happy, and free from the worries of the land occupants. They get to devote all their time to floating and enjoying the underwater world. Meanwhile, the land people are busy cooking and eating fish, while the fish are enjoying their life under the sea without any worries or troubles. Life is full of bubbles and sweetness under the sea, and everyone is happy to be there.
