—Poor Unfortunate Souls—
—Part One—

(Ursula):
'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!

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!

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!

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 cross the coals!
I've had the odd complaint!
But on the whole,
I've been a saint!
To those poor unfortunate souls!

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!

Poor unfortunate souls!
So sad, so true!
They come flocking
to my cauldron!
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
And I help them?!
Yes, I do!...

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?

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On a lady who's withdrawn!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!

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!

Poor unfortunate soul!
It's sad, but true,
If you want to cross a bridge!
You've got to pay the toll!
Take a gulp and take a breath!
And go ahead come on!

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!

Poor unfortunate souls!
In pain, in need!
They come flocking to my cauldron!
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
And I help them?!
Yes, I do!...'

(Arianna):
'I don't like your little games!
Don't like your tilted stage!
The role you made me play!
Of the fool, no, I don't like you!
I don't like your perfect crime!
How you laugh when you lie!
You said the gun was mine!
Isn't cool, no, I don't like you! (oh!)

But I got smarter,
I got harder in the nick of time!
Honey, I rose up from the dead,
I do it all the time!
I've got a list of names
and yours is in red, underlined!
I check it once,
then I check it twice, oh!

Ooh, look what you made me do!
Look what you made me do!
Look what you just made me do!
Look what you just made me!
Ooh, look what you made me do!
Look what you made me do!
Look what you just made me do!
Look what you just made me do!

I don't like your kingdom keys!
They once belonged to me!
You asked me for a place to sleep!
Locked me out and threw a feast!(what?) The world moves on,
another day, another
drama, drama!

But not for me, not for me,
all I think about is karma
And then the world moves on,
but one thing's for sure!
Maybe I got mine,
but you'll all get yours!
