Poor Unfortunate Souls (Howard Ashman, Alan Menken
4
(The only way to get what you want is to become a human yourself.)
5
(Can you do that?)
6
(My dear, sweet child. That's what I do. It's what I live for. To
7
help unfortunate
8
merfolk like yourself. Poor souls with no one else to turn to.)
9
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
10
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
11
But you'll find that nowadays
12
I've mended all my ways
13
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
14
To this
15
And I fortunately know a little magic
16
It's a talent that I always have possessed
17
And dear lady, please don't laugh
18
I use it on behalf
19
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed (pathetic)
20
Poor unfortunate souls
21
In pain, in need
22
This one longing to be thinner
23
That one wants to get the girl
24
And do I help them?
25
Yes, indeed
26
Those poor unfortunate souls
27
So sad, so true
28
They come flocking to my cauldron
29
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
30
And I help them!
31
Yes I do
32
Now it's happened once or twice
33
Someone couldn't pay the price
34
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
35
Yes I've had the odd complaint
36
But on the whole I've been a saint
37
To those poor unfortunate souls
38
(Have we got a deal?)
39
(If I become human, I'll never be with my father or sisters again.)
40
(But you'll have your man, heh heh. Life's full of tough choices, isn't
41
it? Heh heh.
42
Oh, and there is one more thing. We haven't discussed the subject of
43
payment.)
44
(But I don't have-)
45
(I'm not asking much, just a token really, a trifle! What I want from
46
you is -
47
your voice.)
48
(But without my voice, how can I-)
49
(You'll have your looks, your pretty face.
50
And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha!)
51
The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
52
They think a girl who gossips, she's a bore!
53
Yet on land it's much prefered for ladies not to say a word
54
And after all dear, what is idle crabble for?
55
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
56
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
57
But they dote and swoon and fawn
58
On a lady who's withdrawn
59
It's she who holds her tongue who get's a man
60
Come on you poor unfortunate soul
61
Go ahead!
62
Make your choice!
63
I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day
64
It won't cost much
65
Just your voice!
66
You poor unfortunate soul
67
It's sad but true
68
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
69
You've got the pay the toll
70
Take a gulp and take a breath
71
And go ahead and sign the scroll
72
Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys
73
The boss is on a roll
74
This poor unfortunate soul
75
Alugas avruga
76
Come winds of the Caspian Sea
77
Novringsis glossietis
78
And max-laringhitis
79
La virtea to me
80
(Now, sing!)
81
Aah...
82
(Keep singing!)
