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 it nowadays I mended all my ways Repented, seen a 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 across 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! The men up there don't like a lot of blabber They think the girl who gossips is a bore Yes, on land it's much preferred if the lady's not to say a word And, after all, dear, what is idle prattle for? They're not all impressed by conversation "True gentlemen" avoid it when they can But they dote, and swoon, and fawn On a lady's who's withdrawn It's she who hold's her tongue who get's the man (c'mon, now) Poor unfortunate soul Go ahead, make your choice I'ma very busy woman, and I haven't got all day!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 (c'mon, now) Poor unfortunate souls in vain, in need This one longing to be thinner That one wants to get the girl And do I help them? Yes, indeed! (c'mon, girl) Poor unfortunate souls in vain, in need They come flocking to my cauldron Crying, "spells, Ursula, please!" And I help them? Yes, I do! (yes, I do!)
