[ Simon ] Why do all the flounder flee Everytime they look at me? Try, but I just don't fit in I only make crustaceans cringe

Though I thought I had a smile worth sharing I don't know why I scare the herring I'm so lonely, sad and blue What's a monster to do?

[ Ariel ] You've got to sing A happier song It's time to change that same old tune You've got to move on Pick yourself up Brush off your scales Get that old tired Whale of a tail Tapping along Sing a new song

So come out of your shell And get into the swim There's a wonderful world Waiting for you to jump in

Just say goodbye to the dark and gloomy Come outside where it's bright and roomy Try your smile on someone new And watch what it can do

You've got to sing

[ Simon ] I've got to sing

[ Ariel ] A happier song

[ Simon ] A happier song

[ Ariel & Simon ] It's time to change that same old tune

[ Ariel ] You've got to move on

[ Simon ] I've got to move on, yeah

[ Ariel & Simon ] Pick yourself up Brush off your scales Get that old tired Whale of a tail Tapping along Sing a new song
