Poor Unfortunate Souls

Lyrics: Alan Menken/Howard Ashman Music: Alan Menken/Howard Ashman Poor child Poor sweet child Who, who are you Don't be scared We represent someone who can help
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 (poor unfortunate souls) In pain, in need (in need) This one longing to be thinner That one wants to get the girl Do I help them? Yes, indeed (Yes, indeed) Those poor unfortunate souls (poor unfortunate souls) So sad, so true They come flocking to my cauldron crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!" Do I help them? Yes I do
Oh, but there is one more thing We haven't discussed the subject of payment But I don't have- I'm not asking much What I want from you is - your voice
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet You've got the pay the toll Take a gulp and take a breath And go ahead and sign the scroll Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys The boss is on a roll This poor unfortunate soul (poor unfortunate soul)
Beluga sevruga Come winds of the Caspian Sea Larengix glaucitis Et max laryngitis La voce to me
Aah... Keep singing! Hahahaha...
