Lyrics

{Monologue - } The continent of Atlantis was an island Which lay before the great flood In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean So great an area of land That from her western shores Those beautiful sailors journeyed To the South and the North Americas with ease In their ships with painted sails To the East Africa was a neighbor Across a short strait of sea miles The great Egyptian age is But a remnant of The Atlantian culture The antediluvian kings colonised the world All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas In all legends from all lands were from far Atlantis Knowing her fate Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth On board were the Twelve: The poet, the physician, The farmer, the scientist The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends Though Gods they were - And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind Let us rejoice And let us sing And dance and ring in the new Hail Atlantis! {Sung Portion - } Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be Way down below the ocean where I wanna be she may be My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah I wanna see you some day My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah My antediluvian baby My antediluvian baby, I love you, girl Girl, I wanna see you some day My antediluvian baby, oh yeah I wanna see you some day, oh My antediluvian baby My antediluvian baby, I wanna see you My antediluvian baby, gotta tell me where she gone I wanna see you some day Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up Oh yeah Oh club club, down down, yeah My antediluvian baby, oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
