Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, mister grumpy gills
Life's full of little spills
Don't throw your fins up in disgust
Oh, what's the use of floatin' there
Not goin' anywhere?
Swish your tail and dive on in
And trust
[Verse 2]
That if you
Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming
Life isn't all that grim
[Verse 3]
Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming
What do we do?
We swim?
Right
[Verse 4]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
No singin, no singing, please
La-la-la-la-la-la, la, la
Now that song is gonna be stuck in my head
[Verse 5]
Look, there's a shiny thing
Hey, that looks interesting
Please, Dory, try to stay on task
It says P Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney
Hm, I guess it's nothing
No, Dory, that's the mask
Yay, we did it
Yeah, but now what?
We don't know how to get there
So we follow our gut
But
[Verse 6]
Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming
Everything will be okay, see?
Just keep swimming
Move your tail
And sure enough we'll find our way
[Verse 7]
Oh, sometimes things look bad
Then, poof, the moment is gone
And what do we do?
We just keep swimming on
[Verse 8]
To P Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney
(Hello, there, yeah, excuse me)
P Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney
(I'm lookin' for my son)
P Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney
(Wait a minute, I'm trying to talk to you, please)
P Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney
[Verse 9]
Stop
Look, you've been really great
And I appreciate
All of the little things you've done
Well, thanks
But, perhaps I think it's best
If you and I gave this a rest
Huh?
How 'bout you stay here, while I go and find my son
[Verse 10]
Wait, come back, don't leave me on my own
Sorry, but I really want to carry on alone
[Verse 11]
Hey, lady, is this guy botherin' you?
I don't remember, where you?
No, no, no, no
Do you guys know how I can get to P Sherman
Look, pal, we're talkin' to the lady
Fine
Go easy on him, fellas, he lost his son, Fabio
Nemo
Any of you heard of P Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney?
Sydney?
[Verse 12]
What you wanna do is follow the E.A.C.
That's, uh, the East Australian Current
(Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming)
Big current, can't miss it, it's in that direction
(Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming)
And that little baby's gonna float you right past Sydney
(Just keep swimming)
It's a big blue world out there
That can make a fish feel small
(They're good)
But when friends point the way, it's not so big at all
To Sydney
[Verse 13]
Oh, hey, ma'am, one more thing
When you come to this trench
Swim through it, not over it
Through it, not over it, got it
[Verse 14]
I don't like this trench one bit
We're swimmin' over it
Something's tellin' me we should swim through
Why do I waste my breath?
That way leads to certain death
Come on, partner, trust me on this
It's what friends do
Okay, I guess, if you say so
Hey, look, something shiny
Where? Over the trench
Let's go
[Verse 15]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la (La-la)
La-la-la-la-la-la (La-la)
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow
[Verse 16]
Dory, that's a jellyfish
You'll be okay, let's be thankful it was just a little one
Hey, watch this
Dory, I have an idea, a game
Ooh, a game, pick me, pick me
First one out of the jellyfish without touching the tentacles wins
Ready, set, go
Better move fast if you wanna win
[Verse 17]
Just keep swimming (Just keep swimming)
Life isn't always grim
Just keep swimming (Just keep swimming)
What do we do?
We swim
[Verse 18]
Just keep swimming (Just keep swimming)
Just keep swimming
This fish was built for speed
Just keep swimming (Just keep swimming)
Just keep swimming
And the clownfish takes the lead
[Verse 19]
Dory, Dory, oh, no
Am I disqualified?
No, you're actually winning
But you have to listen to me
[Verse 20]
Just keep swimming
Stay awake, now
Everything will be okay
Just stay with me
Till we get to
42 Wallaby Way
[Verse 21]
Right, sometimes things look bad
Then, poof, the moment is gone
And what do we do?
We just keep swimming
