The World Above (Reprise)
This is where you belong!
You don't understand!
For once, just listen, will you?
The savage brute would kill you in the world above
He's not a barbarian—
Don't try the same old song!
I'll have you grounded til' next year!
Am I clear?
Don't go near that world above!
I'm not a child anymore!
No? Have you lost your senses?
He's a human, you're a mermaid!
It doesn't matter!
I'm still the king here—my word is law
This fifth that you bring here is the final straw
And push, my daughter, has come to shove!
I'll make you obey
Til you do as I say
I don't care, come what may
But I'll keep you away
From that cruel, harsh, cold, vile world above!
You don't understand!
For once, just listen, will you?
The savage brute would kill you in the world above
He's not a barbarian—
Don't try the same old song!
I'll have you grounded til' next year!
Am I clear?
Don't go near that world above!
I'm not a child anymore!
No? Have you lost your senses?
He's a human, you're a mermaid!
It doesn't matter!
I'm still the king here—my word is law
This fifth that you bring here is the final straw
And push, my daughter, has come to shove!
I'll make you obey
Til you do as I say
I don't care, come what may
But I'll keep you away
From that cruel, harsh, cold, vile world above!
