What I need is one mistake

- Ow!

- Oh, so sorry!

# Just one mistake

Now, color? Sardine Silver?

- No, thanks.

- Orange roughy?

- Not in the mood.

- Rainbow trout?

Just paint them the shade

of clarified butter!

# Sebastian

Oh, better be on his guard

So much for my samples.

# 'Cause I have some electric chums

# And they'll be looking very hard

# A straw to break Sebastian's back

A teeny dent, a tiny crack

# A dowdy double take

What I need is one mistake

Uno error.

# Just one mistake

# Then...

- # Hello, world

- [Benjamin] Oh, my.

- # It's Marina Del Rey

- That's right. Three names.

- # I'm the new attach

- Ooh, French!

# Or maybe more

- # Oh, I want so much more

- Big surprise.

# Hello, world

I'm the belle of the ball

I'm feelin' it. Big wave!

# I'm the greatest of all

the loyal royal big shots

[shouting gleefully, grunts]

- [moans]

- Mmm...

# Work it, Marina

- # Pouty, sassy

- Pouty. Sassy.

# From the engine to the chassis

- Oo-wah oo-wah

- # Got to, got to

- Oo-wah oo-wah

- # Get it, get it

# Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta

gotta, gotta have it

# A straw to break the camel's back

A teeny dent, a tiny crack

# A mini mighty break

What I need is one mistake

- Mmm...

- # And after that, who knows? #

Sebastian's bound

to make a mistake, right?

Not likely.

Dream killer!

[straining]

One. [exhales deeply]

[sighs]

Live from The Catfish Club, it's...

- [water bubbling melodically]

- Flounder!

[imitating cheering audience]

We love you, Flounder.

[imitating electric guitar]

[Ariel] Oh, boy. [grunts]

- [grunting]

- Whoo! Oh, yeah!

I'm hot. I know it.

- Hey!

- Aah!

Was that... what I think it was?

- Nope. Whoops.

- [water bubbling melodically]

- That!

- What?

- That sound!

- Oh, that sound.

I was just... [laughs]

...cleaning out these...

But then you... Hey!

And then I... [wheezes]

And then the thingamajiggers just

boppity boop, bop, bap!

Can you do it again?

Halt! You're in violation

of the Triton Acts!

- All music is forbidden in the kingdom!

- Not good.

- Swim!

- Hey, get back here!

Faster!

Corkscrew!

Ooh!

Torpedo tube!

Whoo-hoo!

[giggling]

Not again! [straining]

[swordfish] There they are!

[whimpering] Fish launch!

- Thanks.

- No problem.

- [grumbling]

- This way!

- My name is Flounder.

- Oh, I'm Ariel.

Oh, no!

[Flounder screams]

[shrieks]

Princess Ariel!

What is the meaning of this?!

- Princess?

- Um...

- We weren't doing anything.

- [Sebastian] No?

Then why were you trying to get away?

[both stammering]

Um... 'Cause they were chasing us?

- We heard music, chief.

- [shrieks]

Music!

The princess was making music?

The princess wasn't making music.

He was.

[whimpers]

Music is against the law!

Take him to the dungeon!

- I can't make it in the slammer!

- Now!

Wait! This is all

a big misunderstanding. Huge.

You are gonna laugh when I explain.

- Which I'm about to do.

- In this century, please.

Right. You see, I was just

cleaning the coral tubes,

and my friend here [chuckles]

was helping me.

That's right. Best friend helpin' out.

- Makin' it happen.

- But not making music.

See?

Guards! Escort the princess

back to the palace.

- But Sebastian...

- And you!

[whimpers]

Consider this your first

and only warning, mon.

- Humph!

- [growling]

Oh!

Intolerable, I tell you.

That girl is working on my last claw!

[Adella] If I change my hair,

he'd notice?

[Aquata] Where's my brush?

My brush works better.

OK, bedtime. Outta my way. Don't look

now, but dinner exploded on your face.

- It's plankton extract and sea salt.

- Pretty.

It rejuvenates the skin

and it won't clog your pores.

- Whatever!

- It's your face.

'Scuse me. [sighs]

- Uh, is that my mask?

- Nope.

It's got my initial on it.

All of our names

start with "A," Aquata.

- My brush?

- I was gonna talk to you...

- My lucky seashells?

- They're not very lucky.

- [gasps] Mr. Fuzzyfinkle!

- He's so cute. He likes me.

- And my pillow?

- Yeah, that's for Mr. Fuzzyfinkle.

- Nice try.

- Give it back!

Arista, you always do this!

It's my stuff!

- Finally, some entertainment.

- You're just the selfishest person...

Shh! Shh! He's coming!

- Good evening, girls.

- [all] Father.

- Sleep well.

- Good night, Father.

Ariel?

Good night.

[sighing deeply] Good night.

Why did you do that?

He's our father.

Sit there as long as you want, Ariel.

Nothing's going to change.

Maybe I could have her pillow.

Oh! Ha, ha, very funny.

[sighs deeply]

[whispering] What?

[swordfish] How long

has she been in charge?

Right.

[blowing bubbles melodically]

[gasps]

[grunts]

[branch snapping]

[fins clapping rhythmically]

Flippity-flop and slide to the side.

- [male] The joint is jumping.

- It's time to glide.

[indistinct chattering]

Hey! But I got the kelp yesterday.

It's not fair.

I'm weak. Pathetic.

- I'm a lowly errand boy.

- [gasps]

[grunts]

[# Jump in the Line]

[male] Oh, it's about that time.

- [male] Oh, yeah.

- [male 2] Hey, hey!

All right, let's bring it.

You know what to do.

- Ah!

- Ooh!

# Shake, shake, shake, Senora

Shake your body line

# Shake, shake, shake, Senora

Shake it all the time

# Work, work, work, Senora

Work your body line

# Work, work, work, Senora

Work it all the time

Sea kelp. Salty or extra salty.

Get your sea k...

[Ariel] Flounder!

- Ariel?

- [chuckling]

Oh, no.

Oh, Flounder.

[all cheering]

- Sebastian!

- Whoo!

# My girl's name is Senora

I tell you, friends, I adore her

Sebastian?

# When she dances, oh, brother

# She's a hurricane

in all kinds of weather

# Jump in the line

Rock your body in time

# OK, I believe you

- # Jump in the line

- Sebastian.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

# Shake, shake, shake, Senora

[shells rattling]

# Shake your body line

# Work, work, work, Senora

- [giggling]

- # Work it all the time

# Jump in the line

Rock your body in time

Ariel! No, don't!

# Jump in the line

Rock your body in time

Rock your body, child!

# Jump in the line

Rock your body in...

- Aah!

- Love your club.

- [groans]

- Huh?

[whimpers]

[all screaming]

Oh, wait! I won't tell.

Wait a minute. I won't tell!

[grumbling] Oh!

- [string plays]

- [gasps]

[chuckling]

- [note plays]

- [laughs]

# La, la, la, la, la

# La, la, la, la, la

[sighs] # La, la, la, la

# Under the bright blue

# Endless sky

# Wait, I remember that

# How I know that song

# I remember sitting in the moonlight

and that feeling

# What's that feeling?

# I remember, yes

# How I know that song

Though it's been so long

# I remember happiness

without a floor or ceiling

# What's that feeling?

# I remember

# La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

- # La, la, la, la, la, la, la

- # Laa...

[all] # La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

# Laa... La, la

# Oh! I remember her

# And how we were

# I remember wanting

what the evening would be bringing

# I remember singing

# Under the bright blue
