Lyrics:

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)
Isn't this great? The salty sea air? The wind blowing in your face? A perfect day to be at sea!

Aye, that it is, lad

Mm, yes. Delightful

A fine strong wind and a good clear sky. King Triton must be in a friendly-type mood

King Triton?

Why, ruler of the merpeople, lad. Thought every good sailor knew about all him
(Sung)
I'll sing you a song of the king of the sea
And it's h?y to the starboard, heave ho
Th? ruler of all of the oceans is he
In mysterious fathoms below

(Spoken)
Merpeople! Eric, pay no attention to this nautical nonsense

But it isn't nonsense, it's the truth! There's a whole world of merpeople under the sea

King Triton's their ruler

He's got seven fair daughters and a witch of a sister named Ursula

Ursula?

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

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
