Uma I admit in the past
I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they call me,
well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, see 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 em'
cross the coals
Yes, I've had the odd complaints
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 the 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 gentleman
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On a lady who's withdrawn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 the bridge,
You've got to pay the toll
Take a gulp, and take a breath,
and go ahead and come on you!
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!
