The only way to get what you want
is to become a human yourself
Can you do that
My dear sweet child
that's what I do
It's what I live for
To help unfortunate merfolk
like yourself
Poor souls with no one else to turn to
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 dear lady
please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable the lonely
and depressed
pathetic
Poor unfortunate souls
In pain in need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them
Yes indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad so true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying Spells Ursula please
And I help them
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
Have we got a deal
If I become human
I'll never be with my father
or sisters again
But you'll have your man
Life's full of tough choices
isn't it
Oh and there is one more thing
We haven't discussed
the subject of payment
But I don't have
I'm not asking much
just a token really a trifle
What I want from you is your voice
But without my voice how can I
You'll have your looks
your pretty face
And don't underestimate
the importance of body language ha
The men up
there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl
who gossips is a bore
Yet on land it's much preferred
for ladies not to say a word
And after all dear
what is idle prattle for
Come on they're not
all that impressed
with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it
when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue
who gets a man
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 the bridge
my sweet
You've got the pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll
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
Larengix glaucitis
Et max laryngitis
La voce to me
Now sing
Aa aa aah a aa aah
(keep singing)
Aa aa aah a aa aah
