ALANA
I’m talking about Ariel, that’s who!
ADELLA
What about her?
ALANA
She sure is acting fishy lately!
AQUATA
I’ll say! Swimming in circles! Chasing her tail!
ALANA
That girl is up to her gills in something!
(sung) She’s dizzy and she’s dreamy
AQUATA
Her head’s up in the foam
ATTINA
Her eyes have gone all gleamy
It’s like there’s no one home
ALANA, AQUATA & ATTINA
She floats away the days
Mopin’ on the coastal shelf
ANDRINA
You ask her where she’s goin’
She giggles like a fool
ADELLA
She barely sticks a toe in
Down at the tidal pool
ARISTA
It’s more than just a phase
Face it, she’s just not herself
AQUATA
Is she ill?
ATTINA
Or insane?
ALANA
Is it water on the brain?
AQUATA, ATTINA, & ALANA
What has got her bothered so?
ANDRINA
It’s the bends!
ADELLA
It’s the flu!
ARISTA
Gosh, I wish we had a clue!
MERSISTERS
Oh, wait! Oh, dear!
Good grief! It’s clear...
She’s in love!
She’s in love!
Pounding heart! Ringing bells!
ALANA
Look!
I think she’s even wearing brand new shells!
ANDRINA, ARISTA & ADELLA
She’s in love!
AQUATA, ATTINA & ALANA
In love and it’s divine!
ANDRINA, ARISTA & ADELLA
She’s in love!
AQUATA, ATTINA & ALANA
That girl’s on sandbar nine!
ANDRINA, ARISTA & ADELLA
Glory be!
MERSISTERS
Lord above!
Gotta be she’s in love!
ARISTA
(Spoken) Hey, Flounder – do you notice anything weird about you-know-who?
FLOUNDER
You mean Ariel? I’ll say!
(sung) She acts like she don’t see me
She doesn’t even speak
She treats me like sashimi
Left over from last week
You see her late at night
Tossin’ in her ocean bed
MERSISTERS
Shoop, shoop
Shoop, shoop…
FLOUNDER
She’s moody as a snapper
Oblivious as rocks
You swim right up and tap her—
FLOUNDER & MERSISTERS
She lays there like a lox!
As sure as dogfish bite
Somethin’s made her lose her head!
MERSISTERS
She has lost her head!
FLOUNDER
And she sighs, and she swoons
And she’s hummin’ little tunes
MERSISTERS
Even has a sorta glow
FLOUNDER
What on earth could it be?
MERSISTERS
Any hammerhead can see!
AQUATA & ADELLA
That sigh!
ARISTA & ALANA
That glow!
ANDRINA & ATTINA
That swoon!
FLOUNDER
Oh, no!
She’s in love!
MERSISTERS
She’s flipped, it never fails!
FLOUNDER
She’s in love!
MERSISTERS
All hot beneath her scales!
FLOUNDER
See her hips
How they swish!
MERSISTERS
Well, well, well
Don’t you wonder who’s the lucky seafood dish?
FLOUNDER
She’s in love!
MERSISTERS
She found a deep-sea hunk!
FLOUNDER
She’s in love!
MERSISTERS
And now she’s as good as sunk!
FLOUNDER
See her blush!
MERSISTERS & FLOUNDER
See her grin!
Gotta be love she’s in!
FLOUNDER
Ariel-and-someone swimmin’ in the sea!
K-i-s-s-i-n-g!
MERSISTERS
Her cheeks could not flush pinker!
FLOUNDER
It’s clear as H2O!
MERSISTERS
She’s caught – hook, line and sinker!
ANDRINA, ARISTA & ATTINA
Crushed out!
AQUATA, ADELLA & ALANA
Switched on!
AQUATA, ANDRINA, ARISTA & ALANA
Worked up!
Far gone!
FLOUNDER
Knocked down!
MERSISTERS
Hard hit!
FLOUNDER
In deep!
MERSISTERS
That’s it!
She’s in love!
She’s in love!
FLOUNDER
She’s-In-Love!
FLOUNDER & MERSISTERS
She’s in love!
She’s in love!
Plain to see!
No mistake!
Look at those moonbeams in her wake! (Look at those moonbeams)
Obvious what they must be symptoms of—
She’s in love!
She’s in love!
She’s in love!
Shoop, shoop
Ya-da-da
She’s in love!
Yeah, yeah!
