Fathoms Below

[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!
