[URSULA] (spoken)
Poor souls with no one else to turn to...

[URSULA] (singing)
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.

[URSULA] (spoken)
True? Yes.

[URSULA] (singing)
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!

[URSULA, TENTACLES, FLOTSAME, & JETSAM]
POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS,
[URSULA]
IN PAIN, IN NEED.

[FLOTSAM]
THIS ONE LONGING TO BE THINNER.

[JETSAM]
THAT ONE WANTS TO GET THE GIRL.

[URSULA] (spoken)
And do I help them?

[FLOTSAM, & JETSAM]
Yes, indeed!

[URSULA, TENTACLES, FLOTSAM, & JETSAM] (singing)
THOSE UNFORTUNATE SOULS,

[FLOTSAM]
SO SAD,

[JETSAM]
SO TRUE.

[URSULA]
THEY COME FLOCKING TO MY CAULDRON CRYING,
"SPELLS, URSULA, PLEASE!"
[URSULA] (spoken)
And I help them, yes, I do!

[URSULA] (singing)
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.

[URSULA] (spoken)
Yes, I've had the odd complaint,
but on the

[URSULA] (singing)
WHOLE I'VE BEEN A SAINT...
TO THOSE POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS.

[URSULA] (spoken)
I have a spell that will turn you into a human for three days. Before the sun sets on the third day, you've got to get dear ol' princey to kiss you. If you do, you'll stay human forever.

[ARIEL]
And if I don't?

[URSULA]
You will turn back into a mermaid and your soul will be mine forever! (ARIEL gasps.) Life's full of tough choices, isn't it? Of course, thеre is one more thing... my fee.

[ARIEL]
But I don't havе any—
[URSULA]
I'm not asking for much. Only... your voice.

[ARIEL]
But if I give away my voice, how can I ever—

[URSULA]
You'll have your looks... Your pretty face... And don't underestimate the importance... of body language!

[URSULA] (singing)
COME ON, YOU POOR UNFORTUNATE SOUL!
GO AHEAD!

[URSULA] (spoken)
Make your choice!

[URSULA] (singing)
I'M A VERY BUSY WOMAN AND I HAVEN'T GOT ALL DAY.

[URSULA] (spoken)
It won't cost much...

[URSULA, TENTACLES, FLOTSAM, & JETSAM]
Just your voice!

[URSULA, TENTACLES, FLOTSAM, & JETSAM] (singing)
YOU POOR UNFORTUNATE SOUL.
IT'S SAD,

[JETSAM]
BUT TRUE.

[URSULA]
IF YOU WANT TO CROSS A BRIDGE, MY SWEET,
YOU'VE GOT TO PAY THE TOLL.
TAKE A GULP AND TAKE A BREATH
AND GO AHEAD, ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL.

FLOTSAM, JETSAM, NOW I'VE GOT HER, BOYS,
THE BOSS IS ON A ROLL.

[URSULA, TENTACLES, FLOTSAM, & JETSAM]
YOU POOR UNFORTUNATE SOUL!

[URSULA] (spoken)
So how's about it, cupcake?

[ARIEL]
(the highest stakes before her)
If I become human, will I ever see my family again?
