Ursula:

The only way to get what you want...

...is to become a human yourself!

Ariel:

(Gasps with excitement) Can you do that?

Ursula:

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 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...

To those poor unfortunate souls

Ursula:

Have we got a deal?

Ariel:

If I become human...

I'll never be with my father or sisters again.

Ursula:

But, you'll have, your man. (laughs slyly)

Life's full of tough choices, isn't it? (laughs slyly)

Oh!

And there is, one, more, thing!

We haven't discussed the subject of payment.

Ariel: But I don't have any -

Ursula:

I'm not asking much.

Just a token, really!

A trifle!

What I want

from you is . . .

...Your voice.

Ariel:

But without my voice, how can I -

Ursula:

You'll have your looks!

Your pretty face!

And
