Poor Unfortunate Souls (Reprise) Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of The Little Mermaid

The Little Mermaid (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2008

[KING TRITON]
Ursula!
[URSULA]
Brother darling! You're right on cue. 
[KING TRITON]
Give Ariel back to me!
[URSULA]
Not on your life!
It so happens that your daughter signed a contract
[KING TRITON]
No!
[URSULA]
Even drew a little heart above the "i"
Is it binding? Goodness, yes!
Unbreakable, unless...
[KING TRITON]
Unless?
[URSULA]
There is a little somethin' we could try...
[KING TRITON]
Go on. 
[URSULA]
Yes...
Perhaps we can arrange a sort of tradeoff
[KING TRITON]
What?
[URSULA]
Maybe swap your daughter's soul for, say, your own
Sign the scroll and set her free
Or else she comes with me
To suffer through eternity alone...
The mute little hatchling, drowning in her own sorrow, with no voice left to cry out your name...
Well? I'm waiting...
[KING TRITON]
It's not my soul you're after-it's my power. 
[URSULA]
Which would you rather be?
The King of the Sea... or a father to his little girl?
Finally! The oceans belong to me!
And now you poor unfortunate soul!
Time's up! You're through!
Now the power of Poseidon has been once again made whole
All the magic of the trident and the shell in my control!
And now dark shall reign forever over ocean, sea and shoal!
Now see for yourself how banishment feels!
You poor unfortunate soul!
