Lyrics Poor Unfortunate Souls (Reprise) - Original Broadway Cast

KING TRITON: Ursula!

URSULA: Brother darling! You're right on cue.

KING TRITON: Give Ariel back to me!

URSULA: Not on your life
It so happens that your daughter signed a contract

KING TRITON: No!

URSULA: Even drew a little heart above the "i"
Is it binding? Goodness yes!
Unbreakable, unless...

KING TRITON: Unless?

URSULA: There is a little somethin' we could try

KING TRITON: Go on

URSULA: Yes...
Perhaps we can arrange a sort of trade off

KING TRITON: What?

URSULA: Maybe swap your daughter's soul for, say, your own
Sign the scroll and set her free
Or else she comes with me
To suffer through eternity alone...

The mute little hatchling, drowing in her own sorrow, with no voice to cry out your name... Well? I'm waiting.

KING TRITON: It's not my soul you're after, it's my power.

URSULA: Which would you rather be? The king of the sea, or father to his little girl...

Finally! The oceans belong to me!
And now you poor unfortunate soul!
Times up! You're through!

Now the power of Poseiden
Has been once again made whole
All the magic of trident
And the shell in my control!

And now darl shall reign forever
Over ocean, sea, and shore!

Now see for yourself how banishment feels!

You poor unfortunate soul!
