| I admit that, in the past, I’ve a nasty
|
| They weren’t kidding when they called me, well, «a witch»
|
| But chu’ll find it nowadays 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, lonely, and depressed
|
| 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!
|
| 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
|
| 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!
|
| Poor unfortunate souls
|
| So sad, so true
|
| They come flocking to my cauldron
|
| Crying, «Spells, Ursula, please!»
|
| And I help them! |
| Yes, I do!
|
| Th-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?
|
| They’re not all that impressed with conversation
|
| «True gentlemen» avoid it when they can
|
| But they dote, and swoon, and fawn
|
| On a lady’s who’s withdrawn
|
| It’s she who hold’s her tongue who gets a man!
|
| (C'mon, now!)
|
| Poor unfortunate soul
|
| Go ahead! |
| Make your choice!
|
| I’ma very busy woman, and I haven’t got all day!
|
| It won’t cost much, just your voice! |
| (uh, yeah-yeah!)
|
| Poor unfortunate soul, it’s sad (so sad!), but true
|
| If you wanna cross the bridge, you got to pay the toll
|
| Take a gulp, and take a breath, and go ahead!
|
| And sign the scroll!
|
| (C'mon, you!)
|
| Poor unfortunate souls in pain, in need
|
| This one longing to be thinner
|
| That one wants to get the girl
|
| And do I help (ha, ha, ha, ha) them? |
| Yes, indeed! |
| (eh- c’mon, girl!)
|
| Poor unfortunate souls in pain, in need
|
| They come flocking to my cauldron
|
| Crying, «Spells, Ursula, please!»
|
| And I help them! |
| Yes, I do! |
| (Yes, I do!)
|
| Ha-ha
|
| Ha-ha (Ha-ha) |
