Fathoms Below

Lyrics

[PILOT] I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue [SAILORS] And it's hey to the starboard, heave-ho [PILOT] Brave sailor, beware, cause a big 'uns a-brewin' [SAILORS] In mysterious fathoms below Heave-ho [PILOT] I'll sing you a song of the king of the sea [SAILORS] An' it's hey to the starboard, heave-ho [PILOT] The ruler of all of the oceans is he [PILOT & SAILORS] In mysterious fathoms below Fathoms below, below From whence wayward westerlies blow Where Triton is king And his merpeople sing In mysterious fathoms below [PRINCE ERIC, spoken] Isn't this perfection, Grimsby? Out on the open sea, surrounded by nothing but water! [GRIMSBY] Oh, yes, it's simply... delightful [PRINCE ERIC, sung] The salt on your skin And the wind in your hair And the waves as they ebb and they flow We're miles from the shore And guess what, I don't care! [GRIMSBY] As for me, I'm about to heave ho! [PILOT, spoken] Back to work! [PILOT & SAILORS, sung] I'll sing you a song of the king of the sea An' it's hey to the starboard, heave-ho The ruler of all of the oceans is he In mysterious fathoms below [GRIMSBY, spoken] King of the sea? Why, that's nautical nonsense - nothing but a superstition! [PILOT, sung] The king of the ocean gets angry An' when he gets angry, beware I'm tellin' ya, lad, when King Triton is mad How the waves'll buck, rock to and fro [PILOT AND SAILORS] Hold on, good luck, as down you go [ARIEL] Aa-aa-aah, a-aa-aah A-aa-aah, a-aa-aaa-aah [PRINCE ERIC, spoken] What is that? Do you hear something? [GRIMSBY, Spoken] My lord, please. Enough sea-faring! You've got to get back to court, to honor your father's dying wish and take up his crown! [PRINCE ERIC] That's not the life for me, Grimsby [ARIEL] Aa-aa-aah, a-aa-aah Aa-aa-ahh, a-aa-aaa-aah [PRINCE ERIC] There it is again! [PILOT] We ought to head back to shore, your majesty [GRIMSBY] Indeed, we should! [PRINCE ERIC] Not while I'm captain. Now follow that voice! To the ends of the earth if we have to! [PILOT] Aye-aye, Captain! [PILOT AND SAILORS, sung] There's mermaids out there in the bottomless blue An' it's hey to the starboard, heave-ho Watch out for 'em, lad, or you'll go to your ruin In mysterious fathoms below
