(howard ashman/alan menken)



Look at this stuff. isn't it neat?

Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?

Wouldn't you think i'm a girl

A girl who has ev'rything?



Look at this trove, treasures untold

How many wonders can one cavern hold?

Looking around here, you'd think

Sure, she's got ev'rything



I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty

I've got who's-its and what's-its galore

You want thing-a-ma-bobs? i've got twenty

But who cares? no big deal. i want more



I wanna be where the people are

I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin'

Walkin' around on those

Whaddya call 'em? oh, feet



Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far

Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'

Strollin' along down that

What's that word again? street



Up where they walk, up where they run

Up where they stay all day in the sun

Wanderin' free, wish i could be

Part of that world



What would i give if i could live

Out of these waters?

What would i pay to spend a day

Warm on the sand?



Betcha on land they understand

Bet they don't reprimand their daughters

Bright young women, sick of swimmin'

Ready to stand



And ready to know what the people know

Ask 'em my questions and get some answers

What's a fire?--and why does it

What's the word? burn



When's it my turn?

Wouldn't i love, love to explore

That shore up above?

Out of the sea

Wish i could be

Part of that world
