Pilot: I'll tell yee a tale of the bottomless blue!
All: and its hey to the starboard heave ho!
Pilot: the ruler of all of the oceans is he!
All: In mysterious fathoms below.
Fathoms below!
Below!
From westerly westardlys blow---- oh!
Where triton is king and his merpeople sing in mysterious fathoms below.
Prince Eric: isn't this perfection grimsby?
Out on the open sea, nothing but water and imagination.
Grimsby: Oh yes, it's simply -gags- delightful -pukes- Prince Eric: the salt on your skin and the wind in your hair and the waves as they eb 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 -pukes- Ariel: Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah!
prince Eric: what's that?
Do you hear something Ariel: ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!
Grimsby: Milord please, enough.
Seafaring!
This talk of merpeople and the king of the sea is nautical nonsense!
Ariel: -higher octave- ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah.
prince eric: there it is, straight ahead!
Ariel: ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!
Grimsby: Eric, you must go back to the kingdom to receive your crown!
Prince Eric: that's not the life for me, now follow that voice to the ends of the earth if we have to!
Pilot: Aye aye captain!
All: there's mermaids out there in the bottomless blue and it's hey to the starboard heave ho!
Watch out!
For em lad or you'll go to your ruin mysterious, fathoms below-------------
