Fathoms Below (Work Tape Version) Howard Ashman & Alan Menken

[HOWARD and ALAN]
I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue
And it's hey to the starboard, heave ho
Look out lad, a mermaid be waiting for you
In mysterious fathoms below

(Spoken)
[HOWARD as ERIC]
Isn't this great? The salty sea air? The wind blowing in your face? A perfect day to be at sea!

[HOWARD as SHIPMATE]
Aye, that it is, lad

[HOWARD as GRIMSBY]
Mm, yes. Delightful

[HOWARD as SHIPMATE]
A fine strong wind and a good clear sky. King Triton must be in a friendly-type mood

[HOWARD as ERIC]
King Triton?

[HOWARD as SHIPMATE]
Why, ruler of the merpeople, lad. Thought every good sailor knew about all him

(Sung)
[HOWARD and ALAN]
I'll sing you a song of the king of the sea
And it's hеy to the starboard, heave ho
Thе ruler of all of the oceans is he
In mysterious fathoms below
