My [F] dear sweet child, it's what I live for
To help unfortunate [C] merfolk like yourself
Poor [Fm] souls with no one else to [C] turn to
I admit that in the past [F] I've been a [Ab] nasty
[Fm] They weren't [C] kidding when they [Gb] called me, well, a witch
[Bbm] But you'll find that [C] nowadays [Bbm] I've mended all [C] my ways
[Db] Repented, [Gb] seen the light, [C] and made a switch.
True, [Ab] yes
And I [Db] fortunately know a little [Fm] magic
It's a talent that I always [Gb] have possessed
[Bbm] And here lately, [C] please don't laugh, [Bbm] I [C] use it on behalf
[Db] Of the [Gb] miserable, lonely, and [Fm] depressed
[Bb] [C] [Fm] Pathetic, poor, [G] unfortunate [Fm] souls
[G] In [C] pain, [Fm] in need
[Bbm] This one longing [Em] to be thinner, that [Fm] one wants to get the girl
And [G] do I help them?
Yes, indeed
[C]
[Fm] Those [C] poor, [Fm] unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
[G] They come [C] flocking to my [F] cauldron, crying,
[Eb] Spell, Cecil, [D] please, and I [C] help them
Yes, I [Fm] do
[Bbm] Now it's happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And [F] I'm afraid [C] I had to [Fm] break across the cause
[Gb] Yes, I've had the odd complaint
But on the [Db] whole I've [Gb] been a saint
[Fm] To the [C] poor, unfortunate [Fm] souls
Here's my best [Ab] offer, babykins
I know a spell [Gm] that will turn you into a human for three [C] days
Now [Db] it's got a [Gb] procedural clause, [C] sort of a squid pro quo
Before the [Fm] sun sets on the [Db] third day
You've got to get dear old Princey to kiss you
If you do, you'll stay human forever
And if I don't?
Nothing drastic, darling, I'm sure
Oh, look, small print
Your soul is mine forever
And you're doomed to spend eternity
In my watery, hell-soaked lair
Lawyers, don't you just [Gb] love them?
[Db] Of course
There is one more thing My fee
But I don't have anything
I'm not asking for much
Only [C] your voice My voice?
If I give away my voice, how can I ever?
You'll have [Cm] your looks
Your pretty face
And don't underestimate [C] the power
Of [Gm] body [D] language
[Gm] The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips [Cm] is a bore
Yes, on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word
And after [Eb] all, dear, what [Ab] is idle prattle [D] for?
Come on, they're [Gm] not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen [Eb] avoid it when they can
[Cm] But they dote and swoon and fawn on a lady who's [Eb] withdrawn
It's [Ab] she who holds her tongue who gets [D] a man
[C] Come [D] on, [Gm] you poor [D] unfortunate [Gm] soul
[Cm] [D] [Gm] Make your choice
[Cm] I'm a very [Gb] busy woman and [Gm] I haven't got all day
[A] It won't cost much, just your [D] voice
[Gm] You [D] poor [Gm] unfortunate soul
[D] Sad [Gm] but true
[Eb] If you wanna [D] cross a bridge, my [Gm] sweet, you gotta pay the toll
[Eb] Take a gulp and [G] take a breath
[Gm] Go ahead and sign the scroll
[A] Flotsam, [D] jetsam, now I gotta [Gm] voice
The [Dm] force is [E] on a roll
You [Eb] poor [D] unfortunate [Gm]
