[Cm]
[G] I admit that in the past I've been a nasty.
They weren't kidding when they called me, [Db] well, a witch.
[D] But you'll find that [G] nowadays [C] I've mended [G] all my ways,
[Ab] Repented, seen the [Db] light, and [Gm] made a switch.
True?
[G] Yes.
And I fortunately know a little magic.
It's a talent that I always have [Ab] possessed.
[C] And, dear lady, please don't laugh.
I use it on behalf [Ab] of the miserable, [Db] lonely, [Cm] and depressed.
[G]
[Cm] Pathetic.
[G] Poor, unfortunate [Cm]
souls in [G] pain, [Cm]
in need.
This [D] one longing [C] to be thinner, that one wants to [G] get the girl.
And do I [D] help them?
[G] Yes, indeed.
Those poor, unfortunate [Cm] souls, [D] so sad, [G]
so true.
[Cm] [D] They come flocking [Abm] to my cauldron, [Cm] crying,
Spells, Ursula, [D] please.
And I [G] help them.
[Cm] Yes, I do.
[D] Now it happened once or twice, someone [F] couldn't pay the price,
And I'm [C] afraid [G] I had to rake them across [Cm] the coals.
Yes, [Db] I've had their complaint, but on the whole [Ab] I've been [Db] a saint.
To [C] those poor, unfortunate souls.
[Gm] [Cm]
[Gm] [Cm] [G]
[C] Have we got a deal?
[Db] If I [Ab] become human, [C] I'll never be with [G] my father [C] or sisters again.
[G] But [Ab] you have [Db] your man.
[Dm]
[G] Life's full of tough choices, isn't [Cm] it?
Oh, [B] and [C] there [Fm] is one more thing.
[E] We [Ab] haven't discussed the subject of payment.
But I don't have it.
I'm [F] not asking much.
[Ab] Just a token, [G] really, a [Cm] trifle.
What I want from you [D]
is [G] Voice.
But without my voice, [Cm] how can I
You'll have your looks, your pretty [G] face.
And don't underestimate the importance of [A]
body language.
The men up there [Am] don't like a lot of blather.
They think a girl who [Bb] gossips is a bore.
[Em] Yet on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say [G] a word.
[Bb] And after all, [Eb] dear, what is idle [A] prattle for?
Come on, [Dm] then, knuckle that impress with conversation.
True gentlemen avoid it when [Eb] they can.
But [Gm] they don't [A] inform on [D] a lady [A] who's withdrawn.
[Bb] It's [Eb] she who holds her tongue who [A] gets a man.
Come on, you [Dm] poor, unfortunate soul.
[Gm] Go [A] ahead.
[Dm] Make your choice.
[E] I'm a very busy [A] woman and I [Dm] haven't got all day.
It won't [E] cost much.
[A] Just your voice, [Dm] you poor, unfortunate soul.
[E] It says, [Dm] but who?
[A] If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet, [Dm] you've got to pay the toll.
Take [E] a gulp and take a breath and [Dm] go ahead and sign the scroll.
Crocs [E] and jets and [A] now I've got her, boys.
[Dm] The boss is [B] on a roll.
[Dm] This poor, [A] unfortunate [Dm] soul.
[G] I admit that in the past I've been a nasty.
