[00:06.13]Can you do that? [00:07.24] [00:08.37]My dear, sweet child. [00:11.56] [00:12.21]That's what I do. It's what I live for. [00:15.98] [00:16.58]To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself. [00:19.62] [00:20.36]Poor souls with no one else to turn to. [00:25.27] [00:27.52]I admit that in the past I've been a nasty [00:30.38] [00:31.07]They weren't kidding [00:31.84]when they called me, well, a witch [00:33.79] [00:34.62]But you'll find that nowadays [00:36.63]I've mended all my ways [00:38.35]Repented, seen the light, and made a switch [00:41.08]To this [00:41.97] [00:43.38]And I fortunately know a little magic [00:47.11]It's a talent that I always have possessed [00:49.92] [00:50.63]And dear lady, please don't laugh [00:52.48]I use it on behalf [00:54.25]Of the miserable, the lonely, [00:56.08]and depressed (pathetic) [00:58.63] [01:00.25]Poor unfortunate souls [01:03.65]In pain, in need [01:07.06]This one longing to be thinner [01:08.44]That one wants to get the girl [01:10.24]And do I help them? [01:11.66]Yes, indeed [01:12.81] [01:13.43]Those poor unfortunate souls [01:16.47]So sad, so true [01:19.03] [01:19.55]They come flocking to my cauldron [01:20.97]Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!" [01:22.81]And I help them! [01:24.02]Yes I do [01:25.18] [01:26.32]Now it's happened once or twice [01:28.16]Someone couldn't pay the price [01:30.29]And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals [01:34.58]Yes I've had the odd complaint [01:36.03]But on the whole I've been a saint [01:39.14]To those poor unfortunate souls [01:44.03] [01:47.61]Have we got a deal? [01:49.26]If I become human, [01:50.75]I'll never be with my father or sisters again. [01:53.54] [01:54.23]But you'll have your man, heh heh. [01:57.72]Life's full of tough choices, isn't it? Heh heh. [02:01.29]Oh, and there is one more thing. [02:03.50]We haven't discussed the subject of payment. [02:06.05] [02:06.62]But I don't have- [02:08.10] [02:08.88]I'm not asking much, just a token really, a trifle! [02:12.39] [02:12.92]What I want from you is - your voice. [02:15.39]But without my voice, how can I- [02:17.57] [02:20.91]You'll have your looks, your pretty face. [02:23.43] [02:24.14]And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha! [02:29.28] [02:31.25]The men up there don't like a lot of blabber [02:33.98]They think a girl who gossips is a bore! [02:36.24] [02:36.83]Yet on land it's much prefered for ladies not to say a word [02:39.74]And after all dear, what is idle babble for? [02:42.55]Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation [02:46.04]True gentlemen avoid it when they can [02:48.13] [02:49.17]But they dote and swoon and fawn [02:50.75]On a lady who's withdrawn [02:52.23]It's she who holds her tongue who get's a man [02:54.77]Come on you poor unfortunate soul [02:58.35] [02:58.91]Go ahead! [02:59.44] [03:00.37]Make your choice! [03:01.24] [03:02.10]I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day [03:04.61]It won't cost much [03:06.60]Just your voice! [03:07.76] [03:08.58]You poor unfortunate soul [03:10.68] [03:11.20]It's sad but true [03:13.40] [03:14.10]If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet [03:15.93]You've got the pay the toll [03:17.21]Take a gulp and take a breath [03:18.55]And go ahead and sign the scroll [03:20.09]Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys [03:21.66]The boss is on a roll [03:25.24] [03:26.05]This poor unfortunate soul
