Poor Unfortunate Souls

Lyrics

[URSULA] I admit that in the past, I've been a nasty They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch But you'll find that nowadays, I've mended all my ways Repented, seen the light, and made a switch True? Yes And I fortunately know a little magic It's a talent that I always have possessed And here lately, please don't laugh, I use it on behalf Of the miserable, lonely, and depressed Pathetic Poor unfortunate souls In pain, in need This onе longing to be thinner That one wants to gеt the girl And do I help 'em? Yes, indeed Those poor unfortunate souls So sad, so true They come flocking to my cauldron Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!" And I help 'em Yes, I do Now, it's happened once or twice Someone couldn't pay the price And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals Yes, I've had the odd complaint But on the whole, I've been a saint To those poor unfortunate souls [URSULA, spoken] So here's the deal I'll whip up a little potion to make you human for three days Got that? Three days Before the sun sets on the third day, you and the princey must share a kiss And not just any kiss, the kiss of true love If you do, you will remain human permanently But if you don't, you'll turn back into a mermaid and you belong to me We got a deal? [ARIEL, spoken] I don't know [URSULA, spoken] Life's full of tough choices, in'it? [ARIEL, spoken] No, this is wrong, I can't do this [URSULA, spoken] Fine then, forget about the world above Go back home to daddy and never leave again [URSULA] Come on, you poor unfortunate soul Go ahead, make your choice I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day It won't cost much, just your voice You poor unfortunate soul It's sad, but true If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet, you've got to pay the toll Pluck a scale from off your tail, a drop of blood inside the bowl Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys, the boss is on a roll This poor unfortunate soul Beluga! Sevruga! Come winds of the Caspian Sea! Amnesia, glossitis et max laryngitis La voce to me! [URSULA, spoken] Now, sing! [ARIEL] Ah, ah, ah, ah [URSULA, spoken] Keep singing! [ARIEL] Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
