Fathoms below (Menken / Ashman)

I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue
and it's hey to the starboard, heave ho
look out, lad, a mermaid be waitin' for you
in mysterious fathoms below

Heave ho, heave ho
in mysterious fathoms below

Daughters of Triton (Menken / Ashman)

Ah, we are the daughters of Triton
great father who loves us and named us well
Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Atina, Adella, Allana
and then there is the youngest in her musical debut
our seventh little sister, we're presenting her to you
to sing a song Sebastian wrote, her voice is like a bell
she's our sister, Ar-i ...

Part of your world (Menken / Ashman)

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 ev'rything ?

Look at this trove, treasures untold
how many wonders can one cavern hold ?
lookin' 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 got twenty
But who cares, no big deal, I want more

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin'
walkin' around on those
- whad'ya 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 o' 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 above ?
out of the sea, wish I could be
part of that world

Reprise:
What would I give to live where you are ?
what would I pay to stay here beside you ?
what would I do to see you
smiling at me ?

Where would we walk, where would we run ?
if we could stay all day in the sun ?
just you and me and I could be
part of your world

I don't know when, I don't know how
but I know something's starting right now
Watch and you'll see, some day I'll be
part of your world

Under the sea (Menken / Ashman)

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're 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

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 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
when the sardine begin the beguine
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 in luck here down in the muck here
under the sea

Poor unfortunate souls (Menken / Ashman)

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 !

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

The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
they think a girl who gossips is a bore
yes, on land it's much preferred
for ladies not to say a word
and after all, dear, what is idle prattle for ?

Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
true gentlemen avoid it when they can
but they dote and swoon and fawn
on a lady who's withdrawn
it's she who holds her tongue who gets her man

Come on, you poor unfortunate soul
go ahead, make your choice
I'm a very busy woman
and I haven't got all day
it won't cost much, just your voice

You poor unfortunate soul, it's sad but true
if you want to cross a bridge, my sweet
you've got to pay the toll
take a gulp and take a breath
and go ahead and sign the scroll
(Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys)
the boss is on a roll
this poor unfortunate soul

Les poissons (Menken / Ashman)

Hmmn, hmm, nouvelle cuisine
les Champs Elysees, Maurice Chevalier

Les poissons, les poissons
how I love les poissons
love to chop and to serve little fish
first I cut off their heads
then I pull out the bones
ah mais oui, ca c'est toujours delish

Les poissons, les poissons
hee hee hee, hah hah hah
with the cleaver I hack them in two
I pull out what's inside
and I serve it up fried
God, I love little fishes, don't you ?

Here's something for tempting the palate
prepared in the classic technique
first you pound the fish flat with a mallet
then you slash through the skin
give the belly a slice
then you rub some salt in
cause that makes it taste nice

Sacre bleu, what is this ?
how on earth could I miss
such a sweet little succulent crab ?
quel dommage, what a loss
here we go in the sauce
now some flour, I think just a dab

Now I stuff you with bread
it don't hurt cause you're dead
and you're certainly lucky you are
cause it's gonna be hot
in my big silver pot
toodle-oo, mon poisson, au revoir

Kiss the girl (Menken / Ashman)

There you see her, sitting there across the way
she don't got a lot to say, but there's something about her
and you don't know why but you're dying to try
you wanna kiss the girl

Yes, you want her
look at her, you know you do
possible she wants you, too
there is one way to ask her
it don't take a word, not a single word
go on and kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la, my oh my
look like the boy too shy
ain't gonna kiss the girl
sha la la la la la, ain't that sad ?
ain't it a shame ? too bad
he gonna miss the girl

Now's your moment, floating in a blue lagoon
boy, you better do it soon, no time will be better
she don't say a word and she won't say a word
until you kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la, don't be scared
you got the mood prepared
go on and kiss the girl
gha la la la la la, don't stop now
don't try to hide it how
you want to kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la, float along
and listen to the song
the song say kiss the girl
Sha la la la la, the music play
do what the music say
you got to kiss the girl
you've got to kiss the girl
you wanna kiss the girl
you've gotta kiss the girl
go on and kiss the girl

Vanessas Song (Menken / Ashman)

What a lovely little bride I'll make
my dear, I`ll look divine
things are working out accordingly
to my ultimate design
soon I'll have that little mermaid
and the ocean will be mine

Happy ending (Menken / Ashman)

Now we can walk, now we can run
now we can stay all day in the sun
just you and me, and I can be
part of your world
