Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The continent of Atlantis was an island
Which lay before the great flood
In the area we now call the Atlantic ocean
So great an area of land
That from her Western shores
Those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South
And the North Americas with ease
In their ships with painted sails
To the East, Africa was a neighbor
Across a short strait of sea miles
The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of the Atlantian culture
The antediluvian kings colonized the world
All the gods who play in the mythological dramas
In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis
Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth
On board were the Twelve
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist
The magician, and the other so-called gods of our legends
Though gods they were
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing
And dance, and ring in the new, hail Atlantis
[Chorus]
Way down below the ocean
Where I wanna be, she may be
Way down below the ocean
Where I wanna be, she may be
Way down below the ocean
Where I wanna be, she may be
[Chorus]
Way down below the ocean
Where I wanna be, she may be
Way down below the ocean (She may, she may, she may, she may)
She may, she may, she may
Where I wanna be, she may be (She may, she may, she may)
[Chorus]
My antediluvian baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Way down below the ocean (She may, she may, she may, she may)
Where I wanna be, she may be
I wanna see you some day (She may, she may)
[Chorus]
My antediluvian baby, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Way down below the ocean (She may, she may, she may, she may)
Where I wanna be, she may be (She may, she may, she may)
[Chorus]
My antediluvian baby
Way down below the ocean (She may, she may, she may, she may)
Where I wanna be, she may be (She may, she may, she may)
[Chorus]
My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl
Way down below the ocean (She may, she may, she may, she may)
I wanna see you some day
Where I wanna be, she may be (She may, she may, she may)
[Chorus]
My antediluvian baby, oh, yeah
Way down below the ocean (She may, she may, she may, she may)
I wanna see you some day
Where I wanna be, she may be (She may, she may, she may)
[Chorus]
My antediluvian baby
Way down below the ocean (She may, she may, she may, she may)
Where I wanna be, she may be (She may, she may, she may)
[Chorus]
My antediluvian baby, yeah
Way down below the ocean (She may, she may, she may, she may)
I wanna see you
Where I wanna be, she may be (She may, she may, she may)
[Chorus]
My antediluvian baby, you gotta tell me where she gone
Way down below the ocean (She may, she may, she may, she may)
Where I wanna be, she may be (She may, she may, she may)
I wanna see you some day
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, ah, yeah
[Chorus]
Way down below the ocean (She may, she may, she may)
Oh, don't look down, no, no
Where I wanna be, she may be (She may, she may, she may)
