Marlin, Nemo, Mr. Ray, Tad, Pearl, Sheldon, Reef dads, Ensemble - In the Big Blue World Lyrics

MARLIN:
(spoken)
Alright we're excited. It's you first day of school Nemo, we're ready to learn, to get some knowledge.

(singing)
Now what's the one thing we remember before we head out from here?

NEMO:
The ocean's not safe
So we have to check if the coast is clear.

MARLIN:
(spoken)
Right.
We go out.
And then back in
And then we go out
And then back in
And one more time
Out
And then back in
And sometimes
If you want to do it four times

NEMO:
Come on!

MARLIN:
Ok

NEMO:
(singing)
Hey dad,
Hey dad,
Wouldn't it be cool?
If I maybe met a shark while I'm at school?

MARLIN:
No.

NEMO:
Or an angel fish!
Is it true that they have wings?

MARLIN:
I don't think so.

NEMO:
Can you believe there are so many things?
In the big blue world
I'm gonna go explore
In the big blue world
That I've never seen before
So many creatures
Swimming 'round the sea
In the big blue world
And all of them are waiting for me!

MARLIN:
(spoken)
That's what I'm afraid of

NEMO:
Hey dad! Do you know how old sea turtles are?

MARLIN:
Sea turtles? I don't know.

NEMO:
Sandy Plankton said that they could live to be a hundred!

MARLIN:
Well, If I ever meet one, I'll ask

NEMO:
Me too! Maybe I'll meet a sea turtle AND a shark!!

MARLIN:
(singing)
I know you're excited
But let's take a little pause
Sharks are not our friends, Nemo
Haven't you seen Jaws?

NEMO:
What?

MARLIN:
You don't want to meet a swordfish
You don't want to meet a whale

NEMO:
I want to meet a whale!

MARLIN:
You need me around to watch your tail
In the big blue world
You're just a little fish

NEMO:
Aw, dad.

MARLIN:
In the big blue world
You'll be seen as a tasty dish

NEMO:
No

MARLIN:
You mean so much to me
I don't know what I would do
In this big blue world
If something should happen to you

NEMO:
No need to worry, dad
I'll be okay

MARLIN:
I'm scared you'll end up as a clownfish filet
We can turn right around
We could wait one more year

NEMO:
Don't be so boring, dad!
I belong here!
Wow!
Isn't it beautiful?!

MARLIN:
Nemo!

NEMO:
Come on, dad!

MARLIN:
Hold my fin, hold my fin!

SEA CREATURES:
Take a look around you
The ocean's alive
In the big blue world
It's time for you to arrive

MARLIN:
Is this where we meet his teacher?

DADS:
Yup
Sure is
Mhmm

TAD:
What's wrong with his fin?

DAD:
Be nice! It's his first day of school!

MARLIN:
He was born with it, kids. We call it his lucky fin.

NEMO:
Dad.

MR. RAY:
Let's name the zones
The zones
The zones
Let's name the zones of the open sea

KIDS:
Mr. Ray!

MR. RAY:
Climb aboard explorers! Who's this?

NEMO:
I'm Nemo.

MARLIN:
He's got a little fin. I find if he gets tired, just give him a break. Ten, fifteen minutes...

NEMO:
Dad.

MR. RAY:
Don't worry. We're gonna travel as a group.

MARLIN:
(singing)
Nemo, you're such a special kid
Want me to come with you?
I'd feel better if I did
Remember everything I've taught you

NEMO:
Dad, I'll be alright.

MR. RAY:
Climb aboard explorers!
Hold on tight!
Are you ready?

NEMO:
Yes I'm ready!

MR. RAY:
Really ready?

MARLIN:
I don't think I'm ready

MR. RAY AND NEMO:
We're ready to go!

ALL:
In the big blue world
(we're ready to go)
In the big blue world
(we're ready to go)
In the big blue world

DADS:
You're doing really well for a first timer.

I remember I was a mess when my kid first went to the drop-off

MARLIN:
Well, what are you gonna do? You gotta let 'em go sometime-THE DROP-OFF?!
