Ursula
(Sung) When Daddy dear was floating on his death bed
He divided up the kingdom into two
I got his Magic Shell, and half the sea as well,
His trident went to-
(Spoken) You Know where his trident went to don't you babies?
(Sung) My Reign, why it was blissfully delicious
And Glamour, glitz and style were au courant
Did I use some black magic?
Well oopsie my bad!
Did I mutilate, maime 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
One eensy 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 swoires!
I want those trembling crowds of shellfish cracked and peeled for me to dine
Not because I'm mean or selfish-
Flotsam and Jetsom
No!
Ursula
I only want whats mine!
I want disgusting wealth!
I want exquisit 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 theme back!
(Spoken) Picture it my sucklings, Pretty soon we'll be back on top! Sipping bubbly, eating caviar before it hatches! King Triton is the only thing that stands in my way. If Only I could find his Achilles heel! That soft quivering underbelly beneath all that armor! I'll Dethrone him, debone him and then boys oh boys were back in business
All Together Now
Flotsom and Jetsom and Eels
(Sung) You'll bring the good times back
Resume that wacky fun
Restore that joyful charm to causing harm to everyone!
Ursula
I want to make the Merfolks cower like they did in days of yore
Sure it's sheer abuse of power
Flotsam and Jetsam and Eels
So?
Ursula
Ain't that what power's for?
I want to taste there tears,
I want to hear their screams
I want the special rush you get from crushing
Hopes and dreams
Flotsam and Jetsam and Eels
It's more than simply sentemental!
Ursula
It's an aphrodisiac
Flotsam and Jetsam and Eels
Remember those good times
Ursula
Oh god were they good times!
Flotsam and Jetsam and Eels
It's time for more good times
Ursula
Let's get them back!
If only I had a way, to make him pay
I'd set old Triton straight
Flotsam
Poision
Jetsam
Sure
Flotsam
Blackmail
Jetsam
Or
Flotsam
His Daughters
Jetsam
Maybe
Ursula
(Spoken) Wait!
Why didn't we think of this in the first place? His youngest?
Flotsam
The one with beautiful voice?
Ursula
Which she takes for granted! Ha! Maybe we could teach them both a lesson!
(Sung) I want the little girl and boy I want her bad
I want her sitting here to lure her dear devoted dad!
I want my goodie-goodie brother to come rescue her the sap!
And then one way or the other!
Flotsam and Jetsam
Surprise!
Ursula
I'll spring my 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 old Trident
Pinned and wriggling on the rack
Then fellas it's mine time
And frankly it's hight time
Those fabulous good times
They're coming back!
