[00:00.82]My dear, sweet child--it's what I live for: to help unfortunate merfolk like yourself.
[00:09.80]Poor souls with no one else to turn to. . .
[00:13.80]I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
[00:17.14]They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
[00:20.65]But you'll find that nowadays
[00:22.19]I've mended all my ways
[00:23.90]Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
[00:26.73]True? Yes.
[00:29.17]And I fortunately know a little magic
[00:32.60]It's a talent that I always have possessed
[00:35.94]And here lately, please don't laugh
[00:37.69]I use it on behalf
[00:39.48]Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed
[00:42.16](Pathetic!)
[00:44.54]Poor unfortunate souls
[00:47.60]In pain, in need
[00:50.77]This one longing to be thinner
[00:52.62]That one wants to get the girl
[00:54.29]And do I help them?
[00:55.23]Yes, indeed!
[00:57.67]Those poor unfortunate souls
[01:00.78]So sad, so true
[01:04.14]They come flocking to my cauldron
[01:05.90]Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
[01:07.44]And I help them
[01:09.00]Yes I do!
[01:10.93]Now, it's happened once or twice
[01:12.40]Someone couldn't pay the price
[01:14.13]And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
[01:18.57]Yes, I've had the odd complaint
[01:20.53]But on the whole I've been a saint
[01:23.53]To those poor unfortunate souls
[01:28.80]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 procedural clause, sort of a "squid pro quo." Before the sun sets on the third day, you've got to get dear ol' princey to kiss you. If you do, you'll stay human forever.
[01:48.23]And if I don't?
[01:49.16]Nothing drastic, darling, I'm sure. . . Oh, look--small print: "Your soul is mine forever, and you're doomed to spend eternity in my watery, hell-soaked lair." Lawyers! Don't you just love 'em? Of course, there is one more thing. . . my fee.
[02:07.58]But I don't have anything!
[02:08.95]I'm not askin' for much, Only. . . your voice.
[02:13.91]My voice? But if I give away my voice, how can I ever--
[02:18.24]You'll have your looks. . . your pretty face. . . and don't underestimate the power of body language!
[02:28.88]The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
[02:32.11]They think a girl who gossips is a bore!
[02:35.15]Yet on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word
[02:37.92]And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for?
[02:40.80]Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
[02:44.31]True gentlemen avoid it when they can
[02:47.36]But they dote and swoon and fawn
[02:49.21]On a lady who's withdrawn
[02:50.68]It's she who holds her tongue who gets a man
[02:53.81]Come on you poor unfortunate soul
[02:58.78]Go ahead!
[03:00.56]Make your choice!
[03:02.47]I'm a very busy woman
[03:03.90]And I haven't got all day
[03:05.69]It won't cost much
[03:06.84]Just your voice!
[03:09.30]You poor unfortunate soul
[03:11.80]It's sad, but true
[03:15.10]If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
[03:17.10]You've got the pay the toll
[03:18.31]Take a gulp and take a breath
[03:19.66]Go ahead and sign the scroll!
[03:21.51]Flotsam, Jetsam--now I've got her, boys
[03:23.83]The boss is on a roll
[03:27.48]You poor unfortunate soul!
[03:46.60]Beluga, sevruga, come winds of the Caspian Sea. . .
[03:54.71]Larynxes, glaucitis, ad max laryngitis, la voce to me!
[04:03.59]Now, sing! Sing your voice over to me!
[04:06.48]Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah...
[04:15.58]Sing and keep singing!
[04:20.24]. . .ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah...
[04:28.86]Now swim, swim, swim! Swim for your life, human child!
[04:36.72]Ha ha ha. . .
