Song - Just Keep Swimming

Lyrics

[DORY]
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]
Just keep swimming
Just keep swimming
What do we do?

[MARLIN, spoken]
We swim?

DORY]
Right!
La la la la la la la la

[MARLIN, spoken]
No singing!

[DORY]
La la la la la la la la

[MARLIN, spoken]
No singing, please!

[DORY]
La la la la la la la la!

[MARLIN, spoken]
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

Monologue

There, there, it’s all right, it’ll be ok. What? You promised never to let anything happen to Nemo? Why... that’s a funny thing to promise. You can’t never let anything happen. Then nothing would ever happen. Not much fun for little Harpo. But you’re not alone, I’m here too. We’re a team you and me. No one’s ever stuck with me for so long before.
