The only way to get what you want is to become a human yourself
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
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And dear lady, please don't laugh
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed (pathetic)
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
Those poor unfortunate souls
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
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
If I become human, I'll never be with my father or sisters again.
But you'll have your man, heh heh. Life's full of tough choices, isn't it? Heh heh
Oh, and there is one more thing
We haven't discussed the subject of payment
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 babble 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On a lady who's withdrawn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 get's a man
Come on you poor unfortunate soul
I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day
You poor unfortunate soul
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
This poor unfortunate soul
Come winds of the Caspian SeaLarengix glaucitis
