Movie Version[]
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 wailing
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 brand
Ariel:
There's no more stormy weather
Melody:
Now we can sing together
Ariel & 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
People of the land:
La-de-da-do
Sebastian:
Those below sing
Whale:
La-de-do-do
Sebastian:
Life is sweet, as sweet can be
On the land and on the sea
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
