Intro: Gm
Verse:
Gm
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
G#
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
D7 D7
But you'll find that nowadays
D7 D7
I've mended all my ways
D# G# D7
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
True? Yes
Gm
And I fortunately know a little magic
G#
It's a talent that I always have possessed
D7 D7
And here lately, please don't laugh
D7 D7
I use it on behalf
D# G# D7
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed
(Pathetic!)
Chorus:
Gm D7 Gm
Poor unfortunate souls
Am7 D7 Gm
In pain, in need
Am7 D7
This one longing to be thinner
Gm Gm
That one wants to get the girl
A7
And do I help them?
Am7
Yes, indeed!
D7 Gm D7 Gm
Those poor unfortunate souls
Am7 D7 Gm
So sad, so true
Am7 D7
They come flocking to my cauldron
Gm
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
A7 D7
And I help them
Gm
Yes I do!
Bridge:
Am7
Now, it's happened once or twice
Cm6
Someone couldn't pay the price
D7 D7 Gm
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
G#
Yes, I've had the odd complaint
D# G#
But on the whole I've been a saint
Gm D7 Gm
To those poor unfortunate souls
Ursula, spoken:
(nc)
Here's my best offer, babykins. I know a spell that will turn you into a human for three days. Now, it's got a
nc
procedural clause, sort of a "squid pro quo." Before the sun sets on the third day, you've got to get dear
(nc)
ol' princey to kiss you. If you do, you'll stay human forever
Ariel, spoken:
(nc)
And if I don't?
Ursula, spoken:
(nc)
Nothing drastic, darling, I'm sure. . . Oh, look--small print: "Your soul is mine forever, and you're doomed
(nc)
to spend eternity in my watery, hell-soaked lair." Lawyers! Don't you just love 'em? Of course, there is one
(nc)
more thing. . . my fee
Ariel, spoken:
nc
But I don't have anything!
Ursula, spoken:
(nc)
I'm not askin' for much, Only. . . your voice
Ariel, spoken:
(nc)
My voice? But if I give away my voice, how can I ever--
Ursula:
Gm
You'll have your looks. . . your pretty face. . .
Am
and don't underestimate the power of body language!
Verse:
Am
The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
Am A#
They think a girl who gossips is a bore!
Bm7 E7 Bm7 E7
Yet on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word
F A# E7sus
And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for?
E7 Am
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
Am A#
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
Bm7 E7
But they dote and swoon and fawn
Bm7 E7
On a lady who's withdrawn
F A# E7sus
It's she who holds her tongue who gets a man
Chorus:
D E7 Am E7 Am
Come on you poor unfortunate soul
Bm7
Go ahead!
E7 Am
Make your choice!
Bm7 E7
I'm a very busy woman
Am Am
And I haven't got all day
B7
It won't cost much
E7
Just your voice!
Am E7 Am
You poor unfortunate soul
Bm7 E7 Am
It's sad, but true
Bm7 E7
If you want to cross the Bridge, my sweet
Am Am
You've got the pay the toll
Bm7 E7
Take a gulp and take a breath
Am Am
Go ahead and sign the scroll!
Bm7 E7
Flotsam, Jetsam--now I've got her, boys
Am C Am
The boss is on a roll
F9 E7 Am
You poor unfortunate soul!
