That seaweed is [Em] always greener [A] in somebody else's [D] land
You dream [Em] about going up there, but [A] that is [D] a big mistake

[G] Up on this shore they work all [A] day, [D] out in the sun they sail [G] away
Why are we devoting full time [A] to floating under [D] the [G] sea?

Seems [G] like a street here, [A] we've got the beat here [D] naturally
[F#]

We've got the spirit, [A] you've got to hear it, [D] under the sea
[G] Egypt's a clammy in [A] his pajamas, [D] under the sea
