Fathoms Below

I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue

And it's hey to the starboard, heave-ho

Brave sailor, beware, 'cause a big 'uns a-brewin'

In mysterious fathoms below

Heave-ho

I'll sing you a song of the king of the sea

And it's hey to the starboard, heave-ho

The ruler of all of the oceans is he

In mysterious fathoms below

Fathoms below, below

From whence wayward westerlies blow

Where Triton is king and his merpeople sing

In mysterious fathoms below

Isn't this perfection, Grimsby? Out on the open sea, surrounded by nothing but water

Oh, yes, it's simply delightful

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

As for me, I'm about to heave-ho!

Back to work!

I'll sing you a song of the king of the sea

And it's hey to the starboard, heave-ho

The ruler of all of the oceans is he

In mysterious fathoms below

King of the sea? Why, that's nautical nonsense, nothing but a superstition

The king of the ocean gets angry

And when he gets angry, beware

I'm tellin' ya, lad, when King Triton is mad

How the waves'll buck, rock to and fro

Hold on, good luck, as down you go

Ah, ah, ah, ah

What is that? Do you hear something?

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

That's not the life for me, Grimsby

Ah, ah

There it is again

We ought to head back to shore, Your Majesty

Ah, ah

Indeed, we should

Not while I'm captain, now follow that voice

To the ends of the earth if we have to

Aye-aye, Captain

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

In mysterious fathoms below
