Lyrics[]
Tip:
Taming the tides, swarming the seas
Beware barracudas, drop to your knee
Defending our friends and anemones
As big as a whale
Melody:
But with a much smaller tail
Tip:
Facing the foe with our fearless flukes
Daring the dastards to put up their dukes
Great globs of gore, we'll storm the shore
And seek the unknown
Dash:
Then can we go home?
Tip and Dash (together):
Titanic Tip and Daring Dash
Adventurers slash explorers
Titanic Tip and Daring Dash
Adventurers slash explorers
Our gallant quest to do our best
And smile for our adorers
Melody:
We'll save the day
Dash:
And make a splash
Tip:
Titanic Tip
Tip and Dash (together):
And Daring Dash
Tip:
We'll clobber those crabs with their clammy claws
Dash:
We'll sever those sharks with their savage jaws
Tip:
The battle is fierce
Dash:
And mercifully brief
Melody:
The conquering heroes return as kings of the reef
Tip:
We'll dine with the best, dressed with a flair
Climb every mountain because it's there
Come on, follow me, we'll make history
To courage, to us,
Melody:
The trident
Dash:
Or bust!
All three together:
Titanic Tip and Daring Dash
Adventurers slash explorers
Titanic Tip and Daring Dash
Adventurers slash explorers
Tip:
We'll save the day and make a splash
Melody:
Melody
Tip:
Tip
Dash:
And Daring Dash
All three together:
All for three and three for one
Atlantica, here we come!

- Although the singing credit goes to Max Casella, Stephen Furst and Tara Clarendoff the line "We'll save the day and make a splash" seems to sound like it is being sung by Buddy Hackett, who provides the voice of Scuttle, for Tip instead of Max Casella.
