[00:00.00] Poor Unfortunate Souls (Soundtrack) - Ariel/Pat Carroll/Ursula

[00:00.38] Lyrics by:Alan Menken/Howard Ashman

[00:00.56] Composed by:Alan Menken

[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
