Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Deep in the ocean blue
A brand new world for me and you
Wild colors, fancy fish
Oysters, whales, and giant squids, yeah
Deep in the ocean grand
We'll swim together, hold my hand, we'll
Explore the coral reef
An underwater masterpiece, yeah
[Chorus]
Sail, sail away with me, we'll
See all that the sea could be, we'll
Dive down to waters deep
And find what's living underneath
[Verse 2]
Deep in the ocean blue
We may find mermaids, turtles too, we'll
Wave to the octopus
And give that dolphin's nose a kiss, yeah
Deep in the ocean grand
We'll meet King Crab, who rules the sand, oh
I see a jellyfish
And there's a star, let's make a wish
Yeah, make a wish
[Chorus]
Sail, sail away with me, we'll
See all that the sea could be, we'll
Dive down to waters deep
And find what's living underneath
So
[Chorus]
Sail, sail away with me
Discover all we've never seen, we'll
Dive down to waters deep
And find what's living underneath
[Outro]
Deep in the ocean blue
A brand new world for me and you
