PJ Morton's song 'Underwater Construction Site' is a playful, imaginative children's tune about fish and sea creatures building structures underwater. It describes the teamwork of fish operating cranes, steamrollers, and dump trucks, with a shark cutting lumber and a hammerhead hammering. The lyrics focus on the fun and cooperation of the ocean construction crew, with no reference to Christian themes, faith, or worship. The song is purely fictional and whimsical, not intended for spiritual or religious purposes.

Underwater they're building it right
At the ocean construction site
See the fish work with all of their might
Down at the ocean construction site
Let's go!
Crane goes up, up, up
Blue is steady and they're slow
But then Red bursts in and flicks that fin
And then it's down, down, down they go
Rollin' flat, flat, flat
See that steam roller spin
Too bad when Red goes past driving dump truck fast
Oh, it gets lumpy and bumpy again
Underwater they're building it right
At the ocean construction site
See the shark cutting lumber with her powerful bite
At the ocean construction site
They build big, they build small
They build short, they build tall
If you've got any kind of oceanic project at all
Don't be shy, give these two a call
Cause underwater they're building it right
Down at the ocean construction site
Bioluminescence providing the necessary light
At the ocean construction site
A hammerhead hammers, their plumber's a seal
Their electrictrician's an electric eel
Building with lumber and coral and steel
Down at the ocean construction site
At the ocean construction site
