Poor Unfortunate Souls

My dear, sweet child. That's what I 
do. It's what I live for
To help unfortunate merfolk like 
yourself
Poor souls with no one else to turn 
to

G#
I admit that in the past I've been a
 nasty
They weren't kidding when they 
                   F#
called me, well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
E                  F#            
Repented, seen the light, and 
    G#
made a switch

True? Yes.
And I fortunately know a little 
magic
It's a talent that I always have 
    F#
possessed
And dear lady, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
E                  F#            
Of the miserable, the lonely, and
    G#
 depressed (pathetic)

E
Poor unfortunate souls
D#         C#
In pain, in need
A        G#
This one longing to be thinner
C#       G#
That one wants to get the girl
A#
And do I help them?
     D#
Yes, indeed
E
Those poor unfortunate souls
D#         C#
So sad, so true
A         G#
They come flocking to my cauldron
C#      G#
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"

And I help them!
C#
Yes I do

         A
Now it's happened once or twice
        C#
Someone couldn't pay the price
         D#                     
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 
            E
'cross the coals
         A
Yes I've had the odd complaint
           E         F#      G#
But on the whole I've been a saint
  E         F#      C#
To those poor unfortunate souls

Have we got a deal?

A
The men up there don't like a lot of
 blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a 
G
bore!
Yet on land it's much prefered for 
ladies not to say a word
          F                 G  
And after all dear, what is idle 
         A
babble for?
Come on, they're not all that 
impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they 
 G
can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
             F                G   
It's she who holds her tongue who 
        A
get's a man

            F
Come on you poor unfortunate soul
E         D
Go ahead! Make your choice!
      A#        A           D    
I'm a very busy woman and I 
           A
haven't got all day
         B
It won't cost much
          E     A
Just your voice!
    F
You poor unfortunate soul
     E       D
It's sad but true
       A#                A
If you want to cross the bridge, my 
sweet
       D               A
You've got the pay the toll
       A#              A
Take a gulp and take a breath
    D            A
And go ahead and sign the scroll
         A#               A
Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, 
boys
    D      E     F
The boss is on a roll
     D      F    A    D
This poor unfortunate soul

F#     G#
Beluga sevruga
     A            B       C#
Come winds of the Caspian Sea
F#       G#
Larengix glaucitis
   A        B
Et max laryngitis
   C#      F
La voce to me

Now, sing!
