Lyrics[]
Hum-ba-da-de-heey, hum-ba-da-de-heeey
Hum-ba-da-de-heey, hum-ba-da-de-heeey
Water (wooohhh), Henry likes water (wooohhh)
Splashing in his eight-legged pants
He's the king of the sea
"Oh, yes, indeed I am. Wooohhh!"
Water (wooohhh), Henry likes water (wooohhh)
Splashing in his eight-legged pants
He's the king of the sea
"Oh, it's so much fun. Splashing, splashing!"
Water in the sea is Henry's home
Where he likes to swim around and be free
He swims past the fishes where he is
known as the king
The king of the sea
Water (wooohhh), Henry likes water (wooohhh)
Splashing in his eight-legged pants
He's the king of the sea
"Bree-bop! Well, everybody, as king of the sea,
here's my first decree.
Simon, will you read that for me?
Sure thing, Henry!
Now, everyone, remember to always swim
with a friend.
Never ever swim on your own.
Oh, keep going.
Mums and dads, when the water's white,
it's alright.
When it's green, it's mean.
Oooh, what does that mean?
That means when the water's green, there could
be a dangerous rip tide.
Oh, yes, everybody when it comes to water,
safety first.
Bree-bop!"
Water (wooohhh), Henry likes water (wooohhh)
Splashing in his eight-legged pants
He's the king of the sea
Hum-ba-da-de-heey, hum-ba-da-de-heeey
"Oh, yes. Oh I love splashing, splashing."
He's the king of the sea
Hum-ba-da-de-heey, hum-ba-da-de-heeey
"Oooooh!"
He's the king of the sea
Oooooh
"Oh, yes. King of the sea, that's me. Gurgh!"
