Intro 1
The only way to get what you want
is to become a human yourself
Can you do that? (C minor)
My dear, sweet child
(C minor) That's what I do
(C minor) It's what I live for
To help un (C minor) fortunate merfolk, like yourself
Poor (C minor) souls with no one else to turn (C minor) to
Verse 1
I ad (C minor) mit that, in the past, I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me,
well, a (D flat major) witch
But you'll (G major) find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Re (A flat major) pented, seen the (D flat major) light,
and made a (G major) switch
True? Yes
And I (C minor) fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have pos (D flat major) sessed
And here (G major) lately, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
of the (A flat major) miserable, (D flat major) lonely, and de (G major) pressed

Chorus 1
Pathetic
(C minor) Poor unfortunate souls
In (F minor) pain, (G major) in (C minor) need
This one (F minor) longing to be (G major) thinner
That one (C minor) wants to get the girl
And do I help (D major) them?
Yes, indeed (G major)
Those (C minor) poor unfortunate souls
So (F minor) sad, (G major) so (C minor) true
They come (F minor) flocking to my (G major) cauldron
Crying, (C minor) "Spells, Ursula, please!"
And I help (D major) them! (G major) Yes, I do (C minor)
Bridge 1
Now, it's (F minor) happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm a (G major) fraid I had to rake 'em
'cross the (C minor) coals
Yes, I've (D flat major) had the odd complaint
But on the whole, I've been a saint
To those (C minor) poor unfortunate (G major) (C minor) souls
Interlude 1
(C minor) (C minor) Have we got a deal?
—If (D flat major) I become human,
(G major) I'll never be with my father or sisters again
—But, (A flat major) you'll have your (D flat major) man
(D major) Life's (G major) full of tough choices
Interlude 2
(C minor) Oh! (C minor) And there is, one (F minor) more thing!
We haven't discussed the subject (C minor) of payment
—But I don't have...
—I'm not asking much
Just a (G major) token, really, a trifle (C minor)
What I want from you is (D major) your voice (G major)
—But without my voice, how can I...
—You'll have your (C minor) looks! Your pretty face!
And (C minor) don't underestimate the importance
of body (D minor) language, ha!
Verse 2
The (D minor) men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a (E flat major) bore
Yes, on (A major) land it's much preferred
For ladies not to say a word
And after (B flat major) all, dear, what is (E flat major) idle prattle (A major) for?
Come on, they're (D minor) not all that impressed
with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they (E flat major) can
But they (A major) dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's (B flat major) she who holds her (E flat major) tongue
who gets a (A major) man
Chorus 2
Come on, you (D minor) poor unfortunate soul
Go a (G minor) head, (A major) make your (D minor) choice!
I'm a (G minor) very busy (A major) woman
And I (D minor) haven't got all day
It won't cost (E major) much
Just your voice! (A major)
You (D minor) poor unfortunate soul
It's (G minor) sad, (A major) but (D minor) true
If you (G minor) want to cross a (A major) bridge, my sweet
You've (D minor) got to pay the toll
Take a (G minor) gulp and take a (A major) breath
And go a (D minor) head and sign the scroll!
Flotsam, (G minor) Jetsam, now I've (A major) got her, boys!
The (D minor) boss is (C major) on a (G major) roll!
This (B flat major) poor unfor (A major) tunate (D minor) soul (D minor)
Outro 1
Be (F minor) luga, sev (C major) ruga
Come (F minor) winds of the (B flat minor) Caspian (F minor) Sea!
La (F minor) rengix glau (C major) citis
Et (F minor) max laryn (E flat major) gitis
La (A flat major) voce to (C major) me! Now, sing
(C major) (Ah, ah, (D major) ah, ah
(C major) Ah...) Keep singing! (Ah, (D major) ah, ah
(C minor) (Ah, ah...) (F major) (C minor) (F major)
(G flat major)
