[Verse 1] I hang my coat on a coral rail By a window made of seaglass green My porch light’s a seashell lantern And the floorboards tend to lean I know the shrimp that runs the post I wave to the crab with the shopping cart And down the lane, past the kelp and nets Lives the nicest dragon in the park [Pre-Chorus] He’s got a stripey apron on And a teapot bigger than his head He smiles when the gulls lean in And keeps the sugar under his bed [Chorus] Living under the sea Living under the sea He brings tea for me And a slice of cake Living under the sea Living under the sea With a dragon next door What a lovely place to be [Verse 2] He knocks three times on the clamshell door Then he bows with a tray in his claws There’s lemon tea in a blue shell cup And sponge cake with a cherry on top We sit on crates by the garden gate Watch the minnows dart through the beams He tells me tales of his auntie’s boat And I laugh till the bubbles scream [Pre-Chorus] He’s got a stripey apron on And crumbs on the end of his nose He says, “Take one more piece, dear friend” Then his tail knocks over the rose [Chorus] Living under the sea Living under the sea He brings tea for me And a slice of cake Living under the sea Living under the sea With a dragon next door What a lovely place to be [Bridge] When the storm drums tap the roof He lights up the room with his grin Says, “Stay right here, my little fish We’ll wait for the sun to come in” And the whole block rings with cheer From the cove to the oyster bay Everybody gets a second cup And nobody goes away [Final Chorus] Living under the sea Living under the sea He brings tea for me And a slice of cake (slice of cake) Living under the sea Living under the sea With a dragon next door What a lovely place to be Living under the sea Living under the sea He brings tea for me And a slice of cake
