[00:00.74] The only way to get what you want is to become a human yourself
[00:05.98] Can you do that
[00:07.97] My dear sweet child
[00:11.34] That's what I do
[00:12.92] It's what I live for
[00:15.15] To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself
[00:19.65] Poor souls with no one else to turn to
[00:26.14] I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
[00:29.55] They weren't kidding when they called me well a witch
[00:32.86] But you'll find that nowadays
[00:34.66] I've mended all my ways
[00:36.57] Repented seen the light and made a switch
[00:39.12] True
[00:39.92] Yes
[00:41.58] And I fortunately know a little magic
[00:45.24] It's a talent that I always have possessed
[00:48.61] And here lately please don't laugh
[00:50.50] I use it on behalf of the miserable lonely and depressed
[00:55.40] Pathetic
[00:57.68] Poor unfortunate souls
[01:00.86] In pain in need
[01:03.96] This one longing to be thinner
[01:05.56] That one wants to get the girl
[01:06.93] And do I help them
[01:08.68] Yes indeed
[01:10.24] Those poor unfortunate souls
[01:13.26] So sad so true
[01:16.26] They come flocking to my cauldron
[01:17.83] Crying "Spells Ursula please"
[01:19.34] And I help them
[01:20.97] Yes I do
[01:22.87] Now it's happened once or twice
[01:25.10] Someone couldn't pay the price
[01:27.05] And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
[01:31.52] Yes I've had the odd complaint
[01:33.76] But on the whole I've been a saint
[01:37.18] To those poor unfortunate souls
[01:45.86] Have we got a deal
[01:47.57] If I become human
[01:49.22] I'll never be with my father or sisters again
[01:51.58] But you'll have your man
[01:56.37] Life's full of tough choices isn't it
[02:02.41] Oh
[02:03.38] And there is one more thing
[02:06.41] We haven't discussed the subject of payment
[02:08.70] But I don't have any
[02:09.50] I'm not asking much
[02:11.30] Just a token really a trifle
[02:14.34] What I want from you is your voice
[02:18.35] But without my voice how can I
[02:20.91] You'll have your looks
[02:22.81] Your pretty face
[02:24.78] And don't underestimate the importance of body language ha
[02:30.99] The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
[02:33.91] They think a girl who gossips is a bore
[02:36.72] Yes on land it's much preferred
[02:38.07] For ladies not to say a word
[02:39.52] And after all dear what is idle prattle for
[02:42.20] Come on they're not all that impressed with conversation
[02:46.19] True gentlemen avoid it when they can
[02:49.01] But they dote and swoon and fawn
[02:50.46] On a lady who's withdrawn
[02:52.27] It's she who holds her tongue who gets a man
[02:54.58] Come on you poor unfortunate soul
[02:58.66] Go ahead make your choice
[03:01.59] I'm a very busy woman
[03:03.11] And I haven't got all day
[03:04.45] It won't cost much
[03:06.06] Just your voice
[03:07.47] You poor unfortunate soul
[03:10.26] It's sad but true
[03:13.04] If you want to cross a bridge my sweet
[03:14.60] You've got to pay the toll
[03:15.83] Take a gulp and take a breath
[03:17.10] And go ahead and sign the scroll
[03:18.85] Flotsam Jetsam now I've got her boys
[03:21.00] The boss is on a roll
[03:24.85] This poor unfortunate soul
[03:36.23] Beluga sevruga
[03:37.66] Come winds of the Caspian Sea
[03:42.04] Larengix glaucitis
[03:43.72] Et max laryngitis
[03:45.40] La voce to me
[03:49.59] Now sing
[03:52.09] Ah ah
[03:54.61] Ah ah
[03:56.98] Ah ah
[03:57.53] Keep singing
[03:58.81] Ah ah ah ah
