Just Keep Swimming lyrics
by Robert Lopez
[DORY] (singing)
HEY MR. 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] (spoken)
Ugh.
[DORY] (singing)
JUST KEEP SWIMMING
JUST KEEP SWIMMING
WHAT DO WE DO?
[MARLIN] (spoken)
We swim?
[DORY]
Right!
[DORY] (singing)
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
[MARLIN] (spoken)
No singing!
[DORY] (singing)
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA
[MARLIN] (spoken)
No singing, please!
[DORY] (singing)
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!
[MARLIN] (spoken)
Ugh! Now that song is going to be stuck in my head!
[DORY] (singing)
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] (spoken)
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] (singing)
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?
[DORY, & MARLIN]
WE JUST KEEP SWIMMING ON
[DORY]
TO P. SHERMAN, 42 WALLABY WAY, SYDNEY
[MARLIN] (spoken)
Hello there! Yeah! Excuse me!
[DORY] (singing)
P. SHERMAN, 42 WALLABY WAY, SYDNEY
[MARLIN] (spoken)
I'm looking for my son.
[DORY] (singing)
P. SHERMAN, 42 WALLABY WAY, SYDNEY!
[MARLIN] (spoken)
Wait a minute! I'm trying to talk to you! Please!
[DORY] (singing)
P. SHERMAN, 42 WALLABY WAY, SYDNEY!
[MARLIN] (spoken)
Stop!
[MARLIN] (singing)
LOOK, YOU'VE BEEN REALLY GREAT
AND I APPRECIATE
ALL OF THE LITTLE THINGS YOU'VE DONE
[DORY] (spoken)
Well, thanks!
[MARLIN] (singing)
BUT, PERHAPS I THINK IT'S BEST
IF YOU AND I GAVE THIS A REST
[DORY] (spoken)
Huh?
[MARLIN]
How 'bout you stay here, while I go and find my son?
[DORY]
Wait! Come back! Don't leave me on my own!
[MARLIN]
Sorry, but I rеally want to carry on alone!
[SOLO MOONFISH]
Hey, lady, is this guy bothering you?
[DORY]
I don't rеmember. Were you?
[MARLIN]
No, no, no, no. Do you guys know how I can get to P. Sherman–
[SOLO 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 ever heard of P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney?
[MOONFISH]
Sydney? Aaaahhh!
[SOLO MOONFISH]
What you want to do is follow the E.A.C. That's, uh, the East Australian Current.
[MOONFISH] (singing)
JUST KEEP SWIMMING (SWIMMING, SWIMMING!)!
[SOLO MOONFISH] (spoken)
Big current. You can't miss it. It's in that direction.
[MOONFISH] (singing)
JUST KEEP SWIMMING (SWIMMING, SWIMMING!)!
[SOLO MOONFISH] (spoken)
And that little baby's gonna float you right past Sydney!
[MOONFISH] (singing)
IT'S A BIG BLUE WORLD OUT THERE
THAT CAN MAKE A FISH FEEL SMALL
[DORY] (spoken)
They're good.
[MOONFISH] (singing)
BUT WHEN FRIENDS POINT THE WAY
IT'S NOT SO BIG AT ALL
[MARLIN] (spoken)
To Sydney!
[MOONFISH] (singing)
Aaaah!
[SOLO MOONFISH] (spoken)
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] (singing)
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] (spoken)
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!
[DORY] (singing)
LA LA LA LA LA
[MARLIN]
LA LA LA
[DORY]
LA LA LA LA LA
[MARLIN]
LA LA LA
[DORY]
LA LA LA LA
[DORY] (spoken)
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. Uh-oh.
[DORY]
Ooh, 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] (singing)
JUST KEEP SWIMMING!
[DORY]
JUST KEEP SWIMMING!
[DORY, & MARLIN]
LIFE ISN'T ALWAYS GRIM

[MARLIN] (spoken)
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.
[MARLIN] (singing)
JUST KEEP SWIMMING
STAY AWAKE NOW
EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY
