《Poor Unfortunate Fools (The Little Mermaid)》歌词

[00:00:00] The only way to get what you

[00:00:01] want is to become a human yourself.

[00:00:05] Can you do that?

[00:00:07] My dear, sweet child.

[00:00:11] That's what I do. It's what I live for.

[00:00:15] To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself.

[00:00:19] Poor souls with no one else to turn to.

[00:00:26] I admit that in the past I've been a nasty

[00:00:29] They weren't kidding

[00:00:30] when they called me, well, a witch

[00:00:33] But you'll find that nowadays

[00:00:35] I've mended all my ways

[00:00:37] Repented, seen the light, and made a switch

[00:00:39] To this

[00:00:42] And I fortunately know a little magic

[00:00:45] It's a talent that I always have possessed

[00:00:49] And dear lady, please don't laugh

[00:00:51] I use it on behalf

[00:00:53] Of the miserable, the lonely,

[00:00:54] and depressed (pathetic)

[00:00:59] Poor unfortunate souls

[00:01:02] In pain, in need

[00:01:05] This one longing to be thinner

[00:01:07] That one wants to get the girl

[00:01:09] And do I help them?

[00:01:10] Yes, indeed

[00:01:12] Those poor unfortunate souls

[00:01:15] So sad, so true

[00:01:18] They come flocking to my cauldron

[00:01:19] Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"

[00:01:21] And I help them!

[00:01:22] Yes I do

[00:01:25] Now it's happened once or twice

[00:01:27] Someone couldn't pay the price

[00:01:29] And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals

[00:01:33] Yes I've had the odd complaint

[00:01:34] But on the whole I've been a saint

[00:01:38] To those poor unfortunate souls

[00:01:46] Have we got a deal?

[00:01:48] If I become human,

[00:01:49] I'll never be with my father or sisters again.

[00:01:53] But you'll have your man, heh heh.

[00:01:56] Life's full of tough choices, isn't it? Heh heh.

[00:02:00] Oh, and there is one more thing.

[00:02:02] We haven't discussed the subject of payment.

[00:02:05] But I don't have-

[00:02:07] I'm not asking much, just a token really, a trifle!

[00:02:11] What I want from you is - your voice.

[00:02:14] But without my voice, how can I-

[00:02:19] You'll have your looks, your pretty face.

[00:02:23] And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha!

[00:02:30] The men up there don't like a lot of blabber

[00:02:32] They think a girl who gossips is a bore!

[00:02:35] Yet on land it's much prefered for ladies not to say a word

[00:02:38] And after all dear, what is idle babble for?

[00:02:41] Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation

[00:02:44] True gentlemen avoid it when they can

[00:02:48] But they dote and swoon and fawn

[00:02:49] On a lady who's withdrawn

[00:02:51] It's she who holds her tongue who get's a man

[00:02:53] Come on you poor unfortunate soul

[00:02:57] Go ahead!

[00:02:59] Make your choice!

[00:03:00] I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day

[00:03:03] It won't cost much

[00:03:05] Just your voice!

[00:03:07] You poor unfortunate soul

[00:03:10] It's sad but true

[00:03:12] If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet

[00:03:14] You've got the pay the toll

[00:03:16] Take a gulp and take a breath

[00:03:17] And go ahead and sign the scroll

[00:03:18] Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys

[00:03:20] The boss is on a roll

[00:03:24] This poor unfortunate soul
