Poor Unfortunate Souls

China Anne McClain China Anne McClain

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

And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And here lately, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, lonely and depressed

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

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 'cross the coals
Yes, I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls

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

Poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, Spells Ursula please!
And I help them? Yes, I do

The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think 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On a lady who's withdrawn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

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!

Poor unfortunate soul
It's sad, but true
If you want to cross a bridge
You've got to pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath and go ahead

Come on, you 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

Come on, you poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, Spells Ursula please!
And I help them? Yes, I do
