The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake

Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things around you
What more is you lookin' for?

Under the sea
Darlin', it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea! — Sebastian · 1989Broken dreams1 quote
