Poor
Unfortunate Souls 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
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light
and made a switch
True? Yes
And I fortunately know a little
magic
It's a talent that I always have
possessed
And here lately, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, lonely and depressed
(Pathetic)
Poor unfortunate souls
In pain
In need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad
So true
They come flocking to my
cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Ursula please!"
And I help them?
Yes, I do
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
The men up there don't like a lot
of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is
a bore
Yes, on land it's much preferred
For ladies not to say a word
And after all, dear, what is idle
prattle 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On a lady who's withdrawn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 gets her man
Come on, you poor unfortunate
soul
Go ahead!
Make your choice!
I'm a very busy woman
And I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your voice!
You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad
But true
If you want to cross a bridge,
my sweet
You've got to 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
The boss is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul
Ursula: Paluga, sarruga,
come winds of the Caspian Sea
Now rings us glossitis and max
laryngitis,
La voce to me!
