URSULA:
When daddy dear was floating on his d**hbed
He divvied up the kingdom into two
I got his magic shell
And half the sea as well
His trident went to--
(Spoken)
You know who his trident went to--don't you, babies!
(Sung)
My reign--why, it was blissfully delicious!
And glamour, glitz and style were au courante
Did I use some black magic?
Well, oopsie--my bad!
Did I mutilate, maim and destroy?
Just a tad!
And for that, I get banished!
But me, I'm not mad
There's just one little thing that I want...
Just one teensy thing that I want:
I want the good times back!
I want those grand ol' days!
I want the twisted nights
The sick delights
The wild soirees!
I want those trembling crowds of shellfish
Cracked and peeled for me to dine
Not because I'm mean or selfish--
FLOTSAM & JETSAM(Spoken):
No!
URSULA (Sung):
I only want what's mine!
I want disgusting wealth!
I want exquisite sin!
Want the entire sea
To worship me
On bended fin!
I want to greet my loving subjects
And then have them as a snack!
Remember those good times?
I want them back!
(Spoken)
Picture it, my s**lings. Pretty soon, we'll be back on top! Sipping bubbly... eating caviar before it hatches! King Triton
Is the only thing that stands in our way. If only I can find his Achilles heel... the soft quivering underbelly, beneath all
That armor... I'll dethrone him! De-bone him! And then boys... oh, boys... we're back in business!
All together now:
FLOTSAM, JETSAM & EELS (Sung):
You'll bring the good times back!
Resume your wacky fun!
Restore the joyful charm
Of causing harm
To everyone!
URSULA:
I want to make the merfolk cower
Like they did in days of yore
Sure, it's sheer abuse of power--
FLOTSAM, JETSAM & EELS(Spoken):
So?
URSULA (Sung):
Ain't that what power's for?
I want to taste their tears!
I want to hear their screams!
I want the special rush
You get from from crushing
Hopes and dreams!
FLOTSAM, JETSAM & EELS:
It's more than simply sentimental--
URSULA:
It's an aphrodisiac!
FLOTSAM, JETSAM & EELS:
Remember those good times!
URSULA:
Oh God, were they good times!
FLOTSAM, JETSAM & EELS:
It's time for more good times!
URSULA:
Let's get 'em back!
If only I had a way
To make him pay
I'd set ol' Triton straight!
FLOTSAM:
Poison?
JETSAM:
Sure...
FLOTSAM:
Blackmail?
JETSAM:
Or...
FLOTSAM:
His daughters...
JETSAM:
Maybe--
URSULA:
WAIT!
(Spoken)
Why didn't we think of that before? His youngest!
FLOTSAM (Spoken):
The one with the beautiful voice?
URSULA (Spoken):
Which she takes for granted! A woman doesn't know how precious her voice is until she's been silenced. Ha! Perhaps we could
Teach them both a lesson...
(Sung)
I want the little girl!
FLOTSAM (Spoken):
Oh
URSULA:
And boys, I want her bad!
JETSAM (Spoken):
Ah?
URSULA:
I want her sitting here
To lure her dear
Devoted dad!
FLOTSAM & JETSAM (Spoken):
Mmm!
URSULA:
I want my goody-goody brother
To come rescue her - the sap!
And then one way or another--
FLOTSAM & JETSAM (Spoken):
Surprise!
URSULA:
I'll spring the trap!
And get the good times back!
I mean with all the perks!
The trident, crown, the throne--
All mine alone!
The whole damn works!
But most of all, I want ol' Triton
Pinned and wriggling on the rack
Then, fellas, it's my time!
And frankly, it's high time!
Those fabulous good times...
They're coming back!
