Intro: Gm      

Verse:
Gm      
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
                                                    Ab
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
            D7            D7
But you'll find that nowadays
       D7           D7
I've mended all my ways
    Eb                Ab               D7
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch

True? Yes


       Gm      
And I fortunately know a little magic
                                     Ab
It's a talent that I always have possessed
          D7                   D7
And here lately, please don't laugh
  D7           D7
I use it on behalf
        Eb            Ab           D7   
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed

(Pathetic!)

Chorus:
Gm          D7   Gm
Poor unfortunate souls
   Am7   D7    Gm
In pain, in need
         Am7           D7
This one longing to be thinner
         Gm               Gm  
That one wants to get the girl
         A7
And do I help them?
         Am7 
Yes, indeed!


D7    Gm          D7   Gm
Those poor unfortunate souls
   Am7   D7   Gm
So sad, so true
          Am7            D7
They come flocking to my cauldron
         Gm
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
      A7        D7
And I help them
        Gm
Yes I do!

Bridge:
          Am7 
Now, it's happened once or twice
        Cm6
Someone couldn't pay the price
           D7           D7                  Gm
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
          Ab
Yes, I've had the odd complaint
                      Eb     Ab
But on the whole I've been a saint
         Gm     D7        Gm      
To those poor unfortunate souls

Ursula, spoken:
(nc)
Here's my best offer, babykins. I know a spell that will turn you into a human for three days. Now, it's got a
nc
 procedural clause, sort of a "squid pro quo." Before the sun sets on the third day, you've got to get dear
(nc)
ol' princey to kiss you. If you do, you'll stay human forever

Ariel, spoken:
(nc)
And if I don't?

Ursula, spoken:
(nc)
Nothing drastic, darling, I'm sure. . . Oh, look--small print: "Your soul is mine forever, and you're doomed
(nc)
 to spend eternity in my watery, hell-soaked lair." Lawyers! Don't you just love 'em? Of course, there is one
(nc)
 more thing. . . my fee

Ariel, spoken:
nc
But I don't have anything!

Ursula, spoken:
(nc)
I'm not askin' for much, Only. . . your voice

Ariel, spoken:
(nc)
My voice? But if I give away my voice, how can I ever--

Ursula:
                 Gm                                    
You'll have your looks. . . your pretty face. . . 
                                     Am 
and don't underestimate the power of body language!

Verse:
Am      
The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
Am                                 Bb
They think a girl who gossips is a bore!
     Bm7            E7               Bm7      E7
Yet on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word
          F                 Bb           E7sus
And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for?


E7               Am      
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
Am                                Bb
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
         Bm7             E7
But they dote and swoon and fawn
     Bm7         E7
On a lady who's withdrawn
     F                Bb                E7sus
It's she who holds her tongue who gets a man

Chorus:
    D   E7  Am        E7     Am
Come on you poor unfortunate soul
    Bm7
Go ahead!
E7         Am
Make your choice!
      Bm7   E7
I'm a very busy woman
      Am          Am 
And I haven't got all day
         B7
It won't cost much
          E7
Just your voice!


    Am        E7     Am
You poor unfortunate soul
     Bm7 E7   Am
It's sad,     but true
       Bm7           E7
If you want to cross the Bridge, my sweet
       Am              Am 
You've got the pay the toll
       Bm7         E7
Take a gulp and take a breath
     Am               Am 
Go ahead and sign the scroll!
         Bm7          E7
Flotsam, Jetsam--now I've got her, boys
    Am      C   Am  
The boss is on a roll
    F9    E7        Am
You poor unfortunate soul!
