Running time: 1:41
And it's hey to the starboard,
heave-ho
Look out, lad, a mermaid be waiting for you
In mysterious fathoms

From whence wayward westerlies blow
Where Triton
is king and his merpeople sing
In mysterious fathoms below
Heave-ho,

Running time: 0:40
Great father who loves us and named us
well
Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Atina, Adella, Allana
And then there is the
youngest in her musical debut
Our seventh little sister, we're presenting her
to you
To sing a song Sebastian wrote
Her voice is like a bell
She's
our sister, Ari--
Vocals: Jodi Benson (Ariel) [Maybe he's right] Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Look at this trove, treasures untold I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty I wanna be where the people are Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far What would I give if I could live Betcha on land they understand And ready to know what the people know When's it my turn?Part of Your World
Running time: 3:15
[Maybe there is something the matter with me]
[I
just don't see how a world]
[That makes such wonderful things]
[Could be
bad]
Wouldn't you think my collection's
complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
How many wonders can one cavern
hold?
Looking around here, you'd think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got who's-its and what's-its
galore
You want thing-a-mabobs?
I've got twenty
But who cares? No big
deal. I want more
I wanna see, wanna see 'em
dancin'
walkin' around on those
Whaddya call 'em? Oh, feet
Legs are required for jumpin',
dancin'
Strollin' along down the
What's that word again? Street
Up
where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the
sun
Wanderin' free, wish I could be
Part of that world
Outta these waters?
What would I pay
to spend a day
Warm on the sand?
Bet they don't reprimand their
daughters
Bright young women, sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand
Ask 'em my questions and get some
answers
What's a fire, and why does it
What's the word? Burn
Wouldn't I love?
Love to explore that shore up
above
Out of the sea, wish I could be
Part of that world
Vocals: Samuel E. Wright (Sebastian) [Ariel, listen to me] The seaweed is always greener Just look at the world around you Under the sea, under the sea Down here all the fish is happy But fish in the bowl is lucky Under the sea, under the sea Under the sea, under the sea The newt play the flute Under the sea, under the sea Each little clam here Each little snail hereUnder the Sea
Running time: 3:15
[The human world, it's a mess]
[Life under the
sea]
[Is better than anything they got up there]
In somebody else's lake
You dream about
going up there
But that is a big mistake
Right here on the ocean floor
Such
wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for?
Darlin' it's better down where it's
wetter
Take it from me.
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the
sun they slave away
While we devoting full time to floating
Under the sea
As off through the waves they roll
The
fish on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in the bowl
They in for a worser fate
One day when
the boss get hungry
Guess who's gon'be on the plate
Nobody beat us, fry us
And eat us in
fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the
hook
We got no troubles, like is the bubbles
Under the sea, under the sea
Since life is
sweet here
We got the beat here naturally
Even the sturgeon and the
ray
They get the urge 'n' start to play
We got the spirit, you got to hear
it
Under the sea
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the
bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the
tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
The ray he can play
The lings on the
strings
The trout rockin' out
The blackfish, she sings
The smelt and
the sprat
They know where it's at
And oh, that blowfish blow
Under the sea, under the sea
When the
sardine begin the beguine
It's music to me
What do they got, a lot of
sand
We got a hot crustaceuan band
Know how to jam here
Under the sea
Each little
slug here
Cutting a rug here
Under the sea
Know how to wail here
That's why it's
hotter
Under the water
Ya, we in luck here
Down in the muck
here
Under the sea

Running time: 2:18
What would I pay to stay here
beside you?
What would I do to see you smiling at me?
Where would we run?
If we could stay all day in
the sun
Just you and me, and I could be
Part of your world
But I know something's starting right
now
Watch and you'll see, someday I'll be
Part of your world
Vocals: Pat Carroll (Ursula) [The only way to get what you want] [Can you do that?]
[My dear sweet child] I admit that in the past I've been a nasty But you'll find that nowadays And I fortunately know a little magic Poor unfortunate souls, in pain, in need Those poor unfortunate souls Now it's happened once or twice Yes, I've had the odd complaint [Have we got a deal?]
[If I become human] [But you'll have your man] [But I don't have any..]
[I'm not asking much, just a token] [But without my voice, how can I..]
[You'll have your looks] The men up there don't like a lot of blabber [Come on] Come on, you poor unfortunate soul You poor unfortunate soul Beluga, sevruga, come winds [Now sing.

Running time: 4:51
[Is to become a human yourself]
[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]
They weren't kidding when they
called me
Well, a witch
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen
the light
And made a switch
It's a talent that I always have
possesed
And here lately, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the
miserable, lonely, and depressed-- Pathetic!
This one longing to be
thinner
That want wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes,
indeed!
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my
cauldron
Crying spells, Ursula, please!
And I help them, yes I do
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm
afraid I had to rake 'em
'Cross the coals
But on the whole I've been a saint
To
those poor unfortunate souls
[I'll never be with my father or sisters again]
[Life's full of tough choices, inn'nt
it?]
[Oh, and there is one more thing]
[We haven't discussed the subject
of payment]
[Really, a trifle]
[What I want
from you is, your voice]
[Your pretty face]
[And don't underestimate
the importance of]
[Body language, Ha!]
They thing a girl who gossips
is a bore
Yes, on land it's much preferred
For ladies not to say a
word
And after all, dear
What is idle prattle for?
They're not all that impressed with conversation
True
gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a
lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue
Who gets her man
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
It's sad, but true
If you want to cross a
bridge, my sweet
You've got 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 is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul
Of the Caspian Sea

max
Laryngitis la voce to me
Les Poissons
Running time: 1:36
How I love les poissons
Love to chop and to
serve little fish
Then I pull out their bones
Ah, mais oui,
ca c'est
toujours delish
Hee-hee-hee, haw-haw-haw
With the cleaver I
hack them in two
And I serve it up fried
God, I love little
fishes, don't you?
Prepared in the classic
technique
First you pound the fish flat
With a mallet
Give the belly a slice
Then you rub
some salt in
'Cause that makes it taste nice
How on earth could I miss
Such a sweet little
suculent crab
Here we go in the sauce
Now some flour, I
think just a dab
It don't hurt 'cause you're dead
And you're
certainly lucky you are
In my big silver pot
Tootle-loo, mon poison,
au revoir!

There you see her And you don't know why Yes, you want her It don't take a word [Sing with me now]

Running time: 2:43
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to
say
But there's something about her
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl
Look at her, you know you do
Possible she wants you
to
There is one way to ask her
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss
the girl
Ain't it a shame, too bad
He gonna
miss the girl
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you'd better do it
soon
No time will be better
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl
You got the mood prepared
Go on and
kiss the girl
Don't try to hide it
How you wanna
kiss the girl
And listen to the song
The song say
kiss the girl
Do what the music say
You gotta kiss
the girl
You wanna kiss the girl
You've gotta kiss
the girl
Go on and kiss the girl

I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue
And it's
hey to the starboard, heave-ho
Brave sailor beware, for a big 'un's
a-brewin'
Mysterious fathoms below
I'll sing you a song of the king of the sea
And it's
hey to the starboard, heave-ho
The ruler of all of the ocean is he
In
mysterious fathoms below
From whence wayward westerlies blow
Where Triton
is king and his merpeople sing
In mysterious fathoms below
I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue
And it's
hey to the starboard, heave-ho
Look out, lad, a mermaid be waiting for
you
In mysterious fathoms below
So trouble's a-brewin' out there
I'm
tellin' you, lad, then King Triton is mad
How the waves'll buck, rock to and
fro
For Triton is king of the bottomless
blue
And it's hey to the starboard, heave-ho
Beware of the magic his
merpeople do
In mysterious fathoms below
Heave-ho, heave-ho
What would I give to live where you are? Now there's a dream What would I give if I could live outta these waters?Part of Your World (Reprise) (Deleted Lyrics)
What would I pay to stay here
beside you?
What would I do to see you smiling at me?
Now there's a goal
Now there's a need I'll never
control
I won't get free
Till I can be
Part of your world
What would I pay to
spend a day holding your hand?
I'd give my life
I'd sell my soul
'Cause
I can feel I'll never be whole
But I can see
I'll never be
Part of your
world
Come on, I know you need a little magic So I think you ought to take my little bargain Come on, you poor unfortunate soul You poor unfortunate soulPoor Unfortunate Souls (Deleted Lyrics)
And magic is my specialty du
jour
Don't just stand there looking sick
Would I kid you? Play a
trick?
Like I told you, I don't do that anymore
Yes, I think you ought to
make my little deal
Sure, it's hard to leave your life
But you could be a
prince's wife
Why don't you let me take that dream and make it real?
Poor child! Poor fish!
Aren't you
glad you brought your problem
To a lady you can trust?
Won't you let me
grant your wish?
Poor sweet! Poor dear!
Aren't you lucky that
I'm ready
With a potion and a plan?
Aren't you glad you came and
asked
If I could help you? And I can
When a mermaid comes to Ursula
She
always gets her man
You poor unfortunate soul
