In the Big Blue World Lyrics by Finding Nemo: The Musical

Finding Nemo: The Musical

2007

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

[MARLIN] (sung)
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, 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]
Okay.

[NEMO] (sung)
HEY DAD, HEY DAD,
WOULDN'T IT BE COOL,
IF I MAYBE MET A SHARK
WHEN I'M AT SCHOOL?

[MARLIN] (spoken)
No.

[NEMO] (sung)
OR AN ANGEL FISH!
IS IT TRUE THAT THEY HAVE WINGS?

[MARLIN] (spoken)
I don't think so.

[NEMO] (sung)
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 they could live to be a hundred!

[MARLIN]
Well if I ever meet one, I'll ask him.

[NEMO]
Me too! Maybe I'll meet a sea turtle and a shark!

[MARLIN] (sung)
I KNOW YOU'RE EXCITED
BUT LET'S TAKE A LITTLE PAUSE
SHARKS ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS, NEMO
HAVEN'T YOU SEEN JAWS?

[NEMO] (spoken)
What?

[MARLIN] (sung)
YOU DON'T WANT TO MEET A SWORDFISH
YOU DON'T WANT TO MEET A WHALE

[NEMO] (spoken)
I want to meet a whale!

[MARLIN] (sung)
YOU NEED ME AROUND
TO WATCH YOUR TAIL!

IN THE BIG BLUE WORLD
YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE FISH

[NEMO] (spoken)
Aw, dad.

[MARLIN] (sung)
IN THE BIG BLUE WORLD
YOU'LL BE SEEN AS A TASTY DISH

[NEMO] (spoken)
No.

[MARLIN] (sung)
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 FILLET

WE CAN TURN RIGHT AROUND
WE CAN WAIT ONE MORE YEAR

[NEMO]
DON'T BE SO BORING DAD
I BELONG HERE!

[NEMO] (spoken)
Wow! Isn't it beautiful?

[MARLIN]
Nemo!

[NEMO]
Come on dad!

[MARLIN]
Hold my fin, hold my fin!

[SEA CREATURES] (sung)
TAKE A LOOK AROUND YOU
THE OCEAN'S ALIVE
IN THE BIG BLUE WORLD
IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO ARRIVE

[MARLIN] (spoken)
Is this where we meet his teacher?

[DADS]
Yup.
Sure is.
Mhm.

[TAD]
What's wrong with his fin?

[TAD'S 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] (sung)
LET'S NAME THE ZONES
THE ZONES, THE ZONES
LET'S NAME THE ZONES
OF THE OPEN SEA!

[KIDS] (spoken)
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] (sung)
NEMO,
YOU'RE SUCH A SPECIAL KID
WANT ME TO COME WITH YOU?
I'D FEEL BETTER IF I DID

[MARLIN] (spoken)
Remember everything I've told you.

[NEMO]
Dad, I'll be alright.

[MR. RAY]
Climb aboard explorers! Hold on tight!

[MR. RAY] (sung)
ARE YOU READY?

[NEMO]
YES I'M READY!

[MR. RAY]
REALLY READY?

[MARLIN] (spoken)
I don't think I'm ready.

[MR. RAY, & NEMO] (sung)
WE'RE READY TO GO!

[ENSEMBLE, (MR. RAY, NEMO, & KIDS)]
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

[SHELDON'S DAD] (spoken)
You're doing really well for a first timer.

[PEARL'S DAD]
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?!
