How pleasant, bobbing along
Bobbing along on the bottom
Of the beautiful briny sea

What a chance
To get a better peep
At the plants
And creatures of the deep

We glide
Far below the rolling tide
Serene
Through the bubbly blue and green

It's lovely, bobbing along
Bobbing along on the bottom
Of the beautiful briny sea

What if the octopus
The flounder and the cod
Think we're rather odd
It's fun to promenade

Bobbing along
Sing a song
On the bottom
Of the beautiful briny sea

Look

It's lovely, bobbing along
Bobbing along on the bottom
Of the beautiful briny sea

What a chance
To get a better peep
At the plants
And creatures of the deep

It's grand
When you're dancing on the sand
Each glance
Bubbles over with romance

It's lovely, bobbing along
Bobbing along through the water
Where we get along swimmingly

Far from the frenzy
Of the frantic world above
Two beneath the blue
Could even fall in love

Bobbing along
Singing a song
On the bottom
Of the beautiful briny sea

Bobbing along
Singing a song
On the bottom
Of the beautiful briny

Shimmering shiny
Beautiful briny
