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 that nowadays, I've mended all my ways Repented, seen the light and made a switch True? Yes
And I fortunately know a little magic It's a talent that I always have possessed And dear lady, please don't laugh, I use it on behalf Of the miserable, the lonely and depressed (pathetic)
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 Those 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

Come on then They're not all that impressed with conversation True gentlemen avoid it when they can But they dote and swoon and fawn On the lady who's withdrawn And she who holds her tongue'll get her man
Come on, you poor unfortunate soul Go ahead, make your choice I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day It won't cost much, just your voice
You poor unfortunate soul It's sad, but true
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet You've to pay the toll Take a gulp and take a breath And go ahead and sign the scroll Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her boys The boss in on a roll This poor unfortunate soul
Beluga, sevruga Come winds of the Caspian sea Larynxes, glossitis Et max laryngitis La voce to me Now sing...
