[C] [G] The only way to get what you want is to become a human yourself.
[C] You can do that?
My dear, sweet child.
That's what I do.
It's what I live [G] for.
To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself.
Poor souls with no one else to turn to.
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty.
They weren't kidding when they called me, [Db] well, a witch.
[Fm] But you'll find that [G] nowadays, [Fm] I've mended all [G] my ways.
[Ab] Repented, [Db] seen the light, and made [G] a switch.
True, yes.
And I fortunately know a little magic.
It's a talent that I always [Db] have possessed.
And [Cm] here lately, please [G] don't laugh.
[F] I use it on [G] behalf [Ab] of the [Db] miserable, lonely, and [C] depressed.
[G] Pathetic.
[Cm] Poor unfortunate souls [G] in pain, [Cm] in need.
That [Fm] one longing to [G] be thinner, that [Eb] one wants to get the girl.
And do [D] I help them?
[G] Yes, indeed.
[Eb] Those poor [G] unfortunate [Cm] souls, [Fm] so [G] sad, so [Cm] true.
[Fm] They come flogging [G] to my cold and [Cm] crying,
Spells!
Ursula!
Please!
[D] And I help [G] them?
Yes, I do.
[Cm] Now [D] it's happened once or twice.
[Fm] Someone couldn't pay the price.
And I'm [C] afraid I [G] had to rake them across the [Cm] cold.
Yes, [Db] I've had the odd complaint.
But on the whole, [Ab] I've been [Db] a saint.
To [G] those poor [Cm] unfortunate souls.
[G] [Cm] So, have we got a deal?
[Db] If I become human, [F] then I'll never see my father or [B] sisters [Fm] again.
[B] That's right.
[Ab]
But you'll have [Db] your man.
[G] Life's full of tough choices, innit?
Oh, and there is one [Cm] more thing.
We haven't [G] discussed the subject of payment.
[F] But I don't have any-
I'm not asking [B] much.
Just [Cm] a token, really.
A [Bb] trifle.
You'll never even miss it.
What I want [Ab] from you is [G] your [Cm] voice.
My voice?
You've got it, [D] sweetcakes.
No more talking, [G] singing, zip.
But without my voice, how can I-
You'll have your looks.
Your pretty face.
And don't underestimate the importance [Dm] of body language.
The men [A] up there don't like a lot of blabber.
They think a girl who [Eb] gossips is a bore.
[Em] Yes, on land it's much preferred for ladies not [A] to say a word.
[Bb] And after all, dear, [Eb] what is idle [A] prattle for?
Come on!
[Dm] They're not all that impressed with conversation.
True gentlemen [Eb] avoid it when they can.
[Bb] But they [A] don't swoon and fawn on a lady who's withdrawn [Bbm] into zealots [Eb] or tongue who [A] gets them mad.
Come on, you [Dm] poor unfortunate soul!
Go [A] ahead!
[Dm] Make your choice!
I'm [E] a very busy woman [A] and I haven't got all day.
It won't [E] cost much.
Just your [A] voice.
[Dm] You poor [A] unfortunate soul!
[Gm] So [A] [Dm] sad, but true.
If you want to [A] cross the bridge, my sweet, you've got to pay the toll.
Take a gulp and take a breath [Bb] and go ahead and [A] sign the scroll.
[E] Flotsam, jetsam, [A] now I've got [D] a voice.
The [C] boss [B] is on a roll!
[Bb] This poor [A] unfortunate [Dm] soul!
