Lyrics[]

[Poor child]
[Poor, sweet child]

[She has a very serious problem, hasn’t she?]
[Hmm, if only]
[There were something]

We could do

[Who are you two?]

Sweet child, poor child
So tragic, so misunderstood
Dear child, sad child
Life’s looking, shall we say, not good

No

Who will ease her woe’s and worries?
Who will help get her man?
Sweet child
Perhaps the Sea Witch can!

[You can’t possibly mean... Aunt Ursula?]

She knows your dreams

[Father says her magic is evil]

She’ll grant your prayer

[Please, I have to go!]

She’ll cast a charm
A tiny spell
Why the alarm?
No one will tell

No one will care
It’s your affair

Sweet child
Dear child
Poor child
Sad child

We’ll bring you to her lair right now
Bet in half a sec your prince and you are reconciled

Together

Forever

[Take me to her]

Sweet child
