Poor Unfortunate Souls
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 nowaadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen 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 loney, and depressed-pathetic!
Poor unfortunate souls in pain, in need
This one longing to be thinner
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
'cross the coals
Yes, I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls
And after all, dear
What is idle prattle for?
They're not all that impressed with conversion
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But they dote and swoon and fawn on a lady who's withdrawn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 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 cost much, just your voice
You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad, but true
If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet
You've got 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, glacydis, ad max laryngitis la voce to me
