Karaoké Poor Unfortunate Souls La Petite Sirène (film 1989)

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

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 dear lady 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 to those poor unfortunate souls

Have we got a deal?

If I become human

I'll never be with my father or sisters again

But you'll have your man he he he he

Life's full of tough choices isn't it? He he he he he

Oh, and there is one more thing

We haven't discussed the subject of payment

But I don't have

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

Yes on land it's much prefered 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But they dote and swoon and fawn on a lady who's withdrawn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 get's a 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 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

The boss is on a roll this poor unfortunate soul

Beluga sevruga come winds of the Caspian Sea

Larynxes glacydis ad max laryngitis la voce to me

Now sing

Keep singing
