Just Keep Swimming Lyrics – Marlin, Dory, Moonfish

Just Keep Swimming Text

---

DORY:
Hey mister grumpy gills
Life's full of little spills
Don't throw your fins up in disgust
Oh what's the use of floatin' there
Not going anywhere?
Swish your tail
And dive on in
And trust...

That...if...you
Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming
Life isn't all that grim!

MARLIN:
Ugh

DORY:
Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming
What do we do?

MARLIN:
We swim?

DORY:
Right!
La la la la la la la la

MARLIN:
Don't sing!

DORY:
La la la la la la la la

MARLIN:
No singing, please!

DORY:
La la la la la la la!

MARLIN:
Ugh! Now that song is going to be stuck in my head!

DORY:
Look there's a shiny thing!
Hey that looks interesting

MARLIN:
Please, Dory try to stay on task

DORY:
It says "P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney" Hmm, I guess it's nothing

MARLIN:
No, Dory! That's the mask!

DORY:
Yay! We did it!

MARLIN:
Yeah, but now what?
We don't know how to get there

DORY:
So we follow our gut!

MARLIN:
But...

DORY:
Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming
Everything will be okay
See?
Just keep swimming
Move your tail
And sure enough we'll find our way
Oh sometimes things look bad
Then poof! The moment is gone
And what do we do?

BOTH:
We just keep swimming on

DORY:
To P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney!

MARLIN:
Hello there! Yeah! Excuse me!

DORY:
P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney

MARLIN:
I'm looking for my son...

DORY:
P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney

MARLIN:
Wait a minute! I'm trying to talk to you! Please!

DORY:
P SHERMAN 42 WALLABY WAY, SYDNEY!

MARLIN:
Stop!
Look, you've been really great
And I appreciate
All of the little things you've done

DORY:
Well, thanks!

MARLIN:
But, perhaps I think it's best
If you and I gave this a rest

DORY:
Huh?

MARLIN:
How 'bout you stay here while I go and find my son?

DORY:
Wait!
Come back!
Don't leave my on my own!

MARLIN:
Sorry, but I really want to carry on alone!

MOONFISH:
Hey, lady. Is this guy bothering you?

DORY:
I don't remember. Were you?

MARLIN:
No, no, no, no. Do you guys know how I can get to P Sherman-

MOONFISH:
Look, pal. We're talking to the lady.

MARLIN:
Fine!

DORY:
Go easy on him, fellas. He lost his son, Fabio.

MARLIN:
Nemo.

DORY:
Any of you heard of P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney?

MOONFISH:
Sydney?
AAAAH!!!
(spoken)
What you want to do is follow the E.A.C. that's, uh, the East Australia Current
(singing)
Just keep swimming
(swimming)
swimming
(spoken)
Big current...can't miss it. It's in that direction.
(singing)
Just keep swimming
(swimming)
swimming
(spoken)
And that little baby's gonna put you right past Sydney!
(singing)
It's a big blue world out there
That can make a fish feel small

DORY:
They're good

MOONFISH:
But when friends point the way
It's not so big at all

MARLIN:
To Sydney!

MOONFISH:
AAAAH!!!
Oh, hey, ma'am, one more thing. When you come to this trench, swim through it, not over it.

DORY:
Through it, not over it. Got it!

MARLIN:
I don't like this trench one bit
We're swimming over it

DORY:
Something's telling me we should swim through

MARLIN:
Why do I waste my breath?
That way leads to certain death

DORY:
Come on, partner! Trust me on this! It's what friends do!

MARLIN:
Okay, I guess. If you say so
Hey look! Something shiny!

DORY:
Where?

MARLIN:
Over the trench!

DORY:
Let's go!
La la la la la

MARLIN:
La la la

DORY:
La la la la la

MARLIN:
La la la

DORY:
La la la
Ow ow ow ow
Owwwww!!!!

MARLIN:
Dory! That's a jellyfish! You'll be okay. Let's be thankful it was just a little one. (gasp!) Uh-oh.

DORY:
Hey! Watch this! Boing! Boing! Boing!

MARLIN:
Dory, I have an idea. A game.

DORY:
Ooh a game! Pick me! Pick me!

MARLIN:
First one out of the jellyfish without touching the tentacles wins. Ready set go!

DORY:
Better move fast if you wanna win!

MARLIN:
Just keep swimming

DORY:
Just keep swimming

BOTH:
Life isn't always grim

MARLIN:
Just keep swimming

DORY:
Just keep swimming

BOTH:
What do we do?
We swim

MARLIN:
Just keep swimming

DORY:
Just keep swimming

MARLIN:
Just keep swimming

DORY:
This fish was built for speed

MARLIN:
Ha ha!
Just keep swimming

DORY:
Just keep swimming

MARLIN:
Just keep swimming
And the clownfish takes the lead!
Dory!
Dory!
Oh no!

DORY:
Am I disqualified?

MARLIN:
No. You're actually winning. But you have to listen to me.
Just keep swimming
Stay awake, now
Everything will be okay.
Just stay with me
'Till we get to

DORY:
42 Wallaby Way

MARLIN:
Right.
Sometimes things look bad
Then poof, the moment is gone
And what do we do?

DORY:
We just...keep...swimming...
