[URSULA, spoken]
My dear, sweet child--it's what I live for: to help unfortunate merfolk like yourself
Poor souls with no one else to turn to. .
[Intro]
Fm(add9)
[Verse]
Fm(add9)I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a wiGbtch
But you'll fC7sus/Gind that nowadC7ays
I've meC7sus/Gnded all my wC7ays
RepeDbnted, seen the ligGbht, and made a swC7itch
True? Yes
And I fFm(add9)ortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possGbessed
And here lC7sus/Gately, please don't lC7augh
I C7sus/Guse it on behC7alf
Of the mDbiserable, the Gblonely, and dC7susepressed
(Pathetic!)
[Chorus]
Fm(add9)Poor unfortuC7b9nate Fmsouls
In Gm7b5pain, C7in neeFmd
This one Gm7b5longing to be C7thinner
That one Fm(add9)wants to get the Fm/Abgirl
And do I G7help them?
Yes, indeGm7b5ed!
C7Those Fm(add9)poor unfortuC7b9nate Fmsouls
So Gm7b5sad, sC7o truFme
They come Gm7b5flocking to my C7cauldron
Crying, "FmSpells, Ursula, please!"
And I G7help themC7  
Yes I doFm!
[Bridge]
Now, it's Gm7b5happened once or twice
Someone Bbm6couldn't pay the price
And I'm afrC7susaid I had to C7rake 'em 'cross the Fmcoals
Yes, I've Gbhad the odd complaint
But on the whole I've Dbbeen a Gbsaint
To those Fm/Cpoor unC7fortunate Fm(add9)souls
[URSULA, spoken]
N.C.
Here's my best offer, babykins. I know a spell that will turn you into a human for three days. Now, it's got a
N.C
procedural clause, sort of a "squid pro quo." Before the sun sets on the third day, you've got to get dear
N.C.
ol' princey to kiss you. If you do, you'll stay human forever
[ARIEL, spoken]
N.C.
And if I don't?
[URSULA, spoken]
N.C.
Nothing drastic, darling, I'm sure. . . Oh, look--small print: "Your soul is mine forever, and you're doomed
N.C.
to spend eternity in my watery, hell-soaked lair." Lawyers! Don't you just love 'em? Of course, there is one
N.C.
more thing. . . my fee
[ARIEL, spoken]
N.C
But I don't have anything!
[URSULA, spoken]
N.C.
I'm not askin' for much, Only. . . your voice
[ARIEL, spoken]
N.C.
My voice? But if I give away my voice, how can I ever--
[URSULA]
You'll have your Fmlooks. . . your pretty face. . . and don't underestimate the power of Gm(add9)body language!
[Verse]
Gm(add9)The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
Gm(add9)They think a girl who gossips is a Abbore!
Yet oAm7n land it's mucD7h preferred for lAm7adies not D7to say a word
And after Eball, dear, what is Abidle prattle D7susfor?
D7Come on, they're Gm(add9)not all that impressed with conversation
Gm(add9)True gentlemen avoid it when they Abcan
But they Am7dote and swoon aD7nd fawn
On a Am7lady who's wD7ithdrawn
It's Ebshe who holds her Abtongue who gets a D7susman
[Chorus]
Come C/Don D7you Gmpoor unforD7(b9)tunate Gmsoul
Go aAm7head!
D7Make your cGmhoice!
I'm a Am7very bD7usy woman
And I Gmhaven't got Gm/Bball day
It won't A7cost much
Just your D7voice!
You Gmpoor unforD7(b9)tunate Gmsoul
It's Am7sad, D7  Gmbut true
If you Am7want to cross D7the bridge, my sweet
You've Gmgot the pay the Gm/Bbtoll
Take a Am7gulp and takD7e a breath
Go ahGmead and sign the Gm/Bbscroll!
Flotsam, Am7Jetsam--now ID7've got her, boys
The Gmboss is Bb/Fon a Gm/Eroll
You Eb9poor unD7#5fortunate Gmsoul!
