[HOWARD and ALAN]
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 waiting for you
In mysterious fathoms below
(Spoken)
[HOWARD as ERIC]
Isn't this great? The salty sea air? The wind blowing in your face? A perfect day to be at sea!
[HOWARD as SHIPMATE]
Aye, that it is, lad
[HOWARD as GRIMSBY]
Mm, yes. Delightful
[HOWARD as SHIPMATE]
A fine strong wind and a good clear sky. King Triton must be in a friendly-type mood
[HOWARD as ERIC]
King Triton?
[HOWARD as SHIPMATE]
Why, ruler of the merpeople, lad. Thought every good sailor knew about all him
(Sung)
[HOWARD and ALAN]
I'll sing you a song of the king of the sea
And it's hеy to the starboard, heave ho
Thе ruler of all of the oceans is he
In mysterious fathoms below
(Spoken)
[HOWARD as GRIMSBY]
Merpeople! Eric, pay no attention to this nautical nonsense
[HOWARD as SHIPMATE]
But it isn't nonsense, it's the truth! There's a whole world of merpeople under the sea
[HOWARD as SHIPMATE]
King Triton's their ruler
[HOWARD as SHIPMATE]
He's got seven fair daughters and a witch of a sister named Ursula
[HOWARD as ERIC]
Ursula?
[HOWARD as SHIPMATE]
Evil and ugly and hungry for power, King Triton, he banished her off into exile. And there she lives now just biding her time-
(Sung)
Fathoms below in the ocean
Lives Ursula, witch of the sea
She plots and she schemes and she wickedly dreams
Of the day when she'll return once more
[HOWARD and ALAN]
Return to rule the ocean floor
She wants to be queen of the bottomless blue
And it's hey to the starboard, heave ho
Search right and beware, there's a beak in the blue
In mysterious fathoms below
