Music by Alan Menken Lyrics by Howard Ashman and Glenn Slater © 2007 Wonderland Music Company (BMI)/Walt Disney Music Company (ASCAP)/ Punchbuggy Music (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved. Lyrics reprinted by permission. PILOT I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue SAILORS An' it's hey to the starboard, heave ho! Brave sailor, beware, 'cause a big 'uns a-brewin' SAILORS Mysterious fathoms below! Heave ho! PILOT I'll sing you a song of the king of the sea PILOT & SAILORS An' it's hey to the starboard, heave ho! PILOT The ruler of all of the oceans is he 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 Isn't this perfection, Grimsby? Out on the open sea, surrounded by nothing but water GRIMSBY Oh, yes, it’s simply...delightful... PRINCE ERIC 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 Back to work! SAILORS 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 King of the sea? Why, that’s nautical nonsense – nothing but a superstition! PILOT 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 & SAILORS Hold on, good luck, as down you go! PRINCE ERIC What is that? Do you hear something? GRIMSBY Milord, 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— 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 & SAILORS 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 Mysterious fathoms below! [Thanks to Jacob Sanchez for corrections] Back to main page: Little Mermaid Lyrics
