The Little Mermaid Lyrics

[Belle Fan 4 Ever]

Part Of Your World

Wouldn’t you think my collection’s complete?
Wouldn’t you think I’m the girl, the girl who has everything?
Look at this trove, treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Lookin’ around here you’d think, sure, she’s got everything

I’ve got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I’ve got oozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs? I’ve got twenty
But who cares, no big deal, I want more

I want to be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see ‘em dancing
Walkin’ around on those – what do you call them again? Oh, feet
Flippin’ your fins, you don’t get too far
Legs are required for jumping, dancing
Strolling along down a – what’s that word again? Street

Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wandering free
Wish I could be
Part of that world

What would I give if I could live out of these waters
What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand
Betcha on land they understand
Bet they don’t reprimand their daughters
Bright young women, sick of swimmin’
Ready to stand

And ready to know what the people know
Ask ‘em my questions and get some answers
What’s a fire and why does it – what’s the word? Burn
When’s it my turn?
Wouldn’t I love
Love to explore that shore up above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world

Under The Sea

The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else’s lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things around you
What more is you lookin’ for?

Under the sea, under the sea
Darling, it’s better
Down where it’s wetter
Take it from me

Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devoting
Full time to floating
Under the sea

Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain’t happy
They sad ‘cos they in the bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry
Guess who gonna be on the plate

What, no!
Under the sea, under the sea
Nobody beat us, fry us and eat us in fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea, under the sea
Under the sea, under the sea
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here
Naturally
Even the sturgeon and the ray
They get the urge and start to play
We got the spirit, you got to hear it
Under the sea

The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they sounding sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is duke of soul
The ray, he can play
The ling’s on the strings
The trout rocking out
The black fish he sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it’s at
And oh, that blowfish blow

Under the sea, under the sea
Under the sea, under the sea
When the sardine begin the beguine
It’s music to me
What do they got? A lotta sand
We got a hot crustacean band

Each little clam here know how to jam here
Under the sea
Each little slug here cutting a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail here know how to wail here
That’s why it’s hotter
Under the water
We are in luck here
Down in the muck here
Under the sea

Poor Unfortunate Souls

Ursula:
The only way to get what you want is to become a human yourself.

Ariel:
Can you do that?

Ursula:
My dear, sweet child, that's what I do. It's what I live for. To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself. Poor souls with no one else to turn to.

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, the lonely and depressed (pathetic)

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

Those 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 across the coals
Yes, I’ve had the odd complaint
But on the whole I’ve been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls

Have we got a deal?

Ariel:
If I become human, I’ll never be with my father or sisters again.

Ursula: That's right. But… you’ll have your man. Life’s full of tough choices, ain’t it? Oh, and there is one more thing. We haven’t discussed the subject of payment. You can’t get something for nothing, you know.

Ariel:
But I don’t have—

Ursula:
What I’m asking is just token really, a trifle. You’ll never miss it. What I want from you is… your voice.

Ariel:
My voice?

Ursula:
You got it sweetcakes. No more talking, singing – zip.

Ariel:
But without my voice, how can I...?

Ursula:
You have your looks, your pretty face
And don’t underestimate the importance of body language

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?

Come on
They’re not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On the lady who’s withdrawn
And she who holds her tongue who gets her man

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

You poor unfortunate soul
It’s sad, but true

If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
You’ve to 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

Beluga, sevruga
Come winds of the Caspian sea
Larynxes, glossitis
Et max laryngitis
La voce to me
Now sing...
