   Pat Carroll, Jodi Benson---Poor Unfortunate Souls lyrics    
Thanks to Julia James for submitting        
the lyrics 
 
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 across the coals  
Yes, I’ve had the odd complaint  
But on the whole I’ve been a saint  
To those poor unfortunate souls  
 
Ursula : Have we got a deal?  
Ariel : If I become human, I’ll never be with my father or sisters again.  
Ursula : But… you’ll have your man. Life’s full of tough choices, ain’t it? Oh, and there is one more thing. We haven’t discussed the subject of payment. You can’t get something for nothing, you know.  
Ariel : But I haven’t got—  
Ursula : What I’m asking is just token really, a trifle. You’ll never miss it. What I want from you is… your voice.  
Ariel : My voice?  
Ursula : You got it sweetcakes. No more talking, singing – zip.  
Ariel : But without my voice, how can I?  
 
You have your looks, your pretty face  
And don’t underestimate the importance of body language  
 
The men up there don’t like a lot of blabber  
They think a girl who gossips is a bore  
Yes, on land it’s much preferred  
For ladies not to say a word  
And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for?  
 
Come on then  
They’re not all that impressed with conversation  
True gentlemen avoid it when they can  
But they dote and swoon and fawn  
On the lady who’s withdrawn  
And she who holds her tongue’ll get her 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 to 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 in on a roll  
This poor unfortunate soul  
 
Beluga, sevruga  
Come winds of the Caspian sea  
Larynxes, glossitis  
Et max laryngitis  
La voce to me  
Now sing...
