Video

"By the Beautiful Sea" is the popular song that appeared in Disney's Sing-Along Songs: Under the Sea and Campout at Walt Disney World. Donald Duck also sang this song in Beach Picnic, and the version of the song called "Where's the Beautiful Key" was briefly sung by the singing busts in The Haunted Mansion. The version from Disney's Sing-Along Songs: Under the Sea was set to clips from the colorized versions of Wild Waves and The Beach Party.

Lyrics

By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea,
You and me, you and me, oh! How happy we'll be,
When each wave comes a rolling in,
We will duck or swim, and we'll float and fool around the water.
Over and under, and then up for air,
Ma is rich, Pa is rich, so now what do we care?
I love to be beside your side, beside the sea,
Beside the seaside, by the beautiful sea.

Joe and Jane were always together,
Said Joe to Jane "I love Summer weather,
So let's go to that beautiful sea,
Follow along, say you're with me!"
Anything that Joe would suggest to her,
Jane would always think it was best for her.
So he'd get his Ford, holler "All aboard.
Gee! I want to be..."

By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea,
You and me you and me, oh! How happy we'll be,
When each wave comes a rolling in,
We will duck or swim, and we'll float and fool around the water.
Over and under, and then up for air,
Pa is rich, Ma is rich, so now what do we care?
I love to be beside your side, beside the sea,
Beside the seaside, by the beautiful sea.

Trivia

• Concept art for the now-defunct Disneyland attraction America Sings shows that "By the Beautiful Sea" was originally going to be included in the attraction before being scrapped in the final version of the attraction.
• The final scene of Minnie kissing Mickey for thanking him for rescuing her is mirrored.
