Little Mermaid The You Got To Be You Lyrics

You Got To Be You Lyrics

When I was but a schoolboy 

I dreamed I would grow tall 

And man, it made me crabby 

That a crab could be so small 



With this I tell my teacher 

She say, "But don't you see? 

Each and every creature 

Is exactly how they should be" 



She said we all are special 

From jellyfish to king 

We all do different things 

And with that she start to sing 



You got to be you 

I got to be me 

It's simple but true 

What else could you do 

Who else could you be 



You got your own style 

Now let it come through 

And remember no matter what 

You got to be you 



Skatefish got to skate 

Stingrays got to sting 

Catfish got to purr 

And Sebastian got to sing 

Seahorse got to ride 

Flounder got to play 

And whale got to make the trouble 

All the livelong say 



So why should you be gloomy 

That you're too big or small 

The sea is very roomy 

And there's plenty room for us all 



You heard my little story 

Now let it be your guide 

Just treat yourself with pride 

You'll be more than satisfied 



You got to be you 

I got to be me 

I'll try to be clearer 

Look in the mirror 

What do you see? 



You see what I mean 

Now let us review 



Let's see now... 

Some may be tiny 

Some got the claws 

Gills may be shiny 

Sharks got the jaws 

Down in the briny 

Those are the laws 

And that is why we sing 



You got to be you 

I got to be me 

It's simple but true 

What else could you do 

Who else could you be 



You got your own style 

Now let it come through 

And remember no matter what 

You got to be you 



You got your own voice 

You've got to rejoice 

You got to be you 

Don't be so blue
