Under the sea
뮤지컬 장면
사랑에 빠진 에릭 왕자와 함께 생활하기 위해 고민하는 에리엘에게 궁중작곡가이자 왕의 고문관인 게 세바스찬은 바다속의 아름다움을 노래하면서 육지가 아닌 해상에 머무를 것을 호소하는 노래이다. 무서운 인간 생활과 수중에 자유로운 삶의 혜택을 설명하면서 인간이 되고 싶어하는 에리얼을 설득하며 "under the sea"를 노래하는데 이때 그녀의 고민을 들은 마녀 우슬라는 그녀의 목소리를 빼앗을 계획을 세운다. 경쾌한 리듬과 멜로디에 맞춰 바닷속 물고기들과 퍼레이드를 벌이는 이 장면은 뮤지컬 인어공주에서 화려하면서도 가장 흥겨운 무대로 손꼽힌다.
가사
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 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
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
