《Poor Unfortunate Souls》歌词

[00:00:01] The only way to get what you

[00:00:02] want is to become a human yourself.

[00:00:06] Can you do that?

[00:00:08] My dear, sweet child.

[00:00:12] That's what I do. It's what I live for.

[00:00:16] To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself.

[00:00:20] Poor souls with no one else to turn to.

[00:00:27] I admit that in the past I've been a nasty

[00:00:31] They weren't kidding

[00:00:31] when they called me, well, a witch

[00:00:34] But you'll find that nowadays

[00:00:36] I've mended all my ways

[00:00:38] Repented, seen the light, and made a switch

[00:00:41] To this

[00:00:43] And I fortunately know a little magic

[00:00:47] It's a talent that I always have possessed

[00:00:50] And dear lady, please don't laugh

[00:00:52] I use it on behalf

[00:00:54] Of the miserable, the lonely,

[00:00:56] and depressed (pathetic)

[00:01:00] Poor unfortunate souls

[00:01:03] In pain, in need

[00:01:07] This one longing to be thinner

[00:01:08] That one wants to get the girl

[00:01:10] And do I help them?

[00:01:11] Yes, indeed

[00:01:13] Those poor unfortunate souls

[00:01:16] So sad, so true

[00:01:19] They come flocking to my cauldron

[00:01:20] Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"

[00:01:22] And I help them!

[00:01:24] Yes I do

[00:01:26] Now it's happened once or twice

[00:01:28] Someone couldn't pay the price

[00:01:30] And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals

[00:01:34] Yes I've had the odd complaint

[00:01:36] But on the whole I've been a saint

[00:01:39] To those poor unfortunate souls

[00:01:47] Have we got a deal?

[00:01:49] If I become human,

[00:01:50] I'll never be with my father or sisters again.

[00:01:54] But you'll have your man, heh heh.

[00:01:57] Life's full of tough choices, isn't it? Heh heh.

[00:02:01] Oh, and there is one more thing.

[00:02:03] We haven't discussed the subject of payment.

[00:02:06] But I don't have-

[00:02:08] I'm not asking much, just a token really, a trifle!

[00:02:12] What I want from you is - your voice.

[00:02:15] But without my voice, how can I-

[00:02:20] You'll have your looks, your pretty face.

[00:02:24] And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha!

[00:02:31] The men up there don't like a lot of blabber

[00:02:33] They think a girl who gossips is a bore!

[00:02:36] Yet on land it's much prefered for ladies not to say a word

[00:02:39] And after all dear, what is idle babble for?

[00:02:42] Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation

[00:02:46] True gentlemen avoid it when they can

[00:02:49] But they dote and swoon and fawn

[00:02:50] On a lady who's withdrawn

[00:02:52] It's she who holds her tongue who get's a man

[00:02:54] Come on you poor unfortunate soul

[00:02:58] Go ahead!

[00:03:00] Make your choice!

[00:03:02] I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day

[00:03:04] It won't cost much

[00:03:06] Just your voice!

[00:03:08] You poor unfortunate soul

[00:03:11] It's sad but true

[00:03:14] If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet

[00:03:15] You've got the pay the toll

[00:03:17] Take a gulp and take a breath

[00:03:18] And go ahead and sign the scroll

[00:03:20] Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys

[00:03:21] The boss is on a roll

[00:03:26] This poor unfortunate soul
