PILOT
I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue

SAILORS
An' it's hey to the starboard, heave ho!
Brave sailor, beware, 'cause a big 'uns a-brewin'

SAILORS
Mysterious fathoms below!
Heave ho!

PILOT
I'll sing you a song of the king of the sea

PILOT & SAILORS
An' it's hey to the starboard, heave ho!

PILOT
The ruler of all of the oceans is he

SAILORS
In mysterious fathoms below!
Fathoms below, below!
From whence wayward westerlies blow!
Where Triton is king
And his merpeople sing
In mysterious fathoms below!

PRINCE ERIC
Isn't this perfection, Grimsby? Out on the open sea, surrounded by nothing but water

GRIMSBY
Oh, yes, it's simply...delightful...

PRINCE ERIC
The salt on your skin
And the wind in your hair
And the waves as they ebb and they flow!
We're miles from the shore
And guess what - I don't care!

GRIMSBY
As for me, I'm about to heave ho!

PILOT
Back to work!

SAILORS
I'll sing you a song of the king of the sea
An' it's hey to the starboard, heave ho!
The ruler of all of the oceans is he
In mysterious fathoms below!

GRIMSBY
King of the sea? Why, that's nautical nonsense - nothing but a superstition!

PILOT
The king of the ocean gets angry
An' when he gets angry, beware!
I'm tellin' ya, lad, when King Triton is mad
How the waves'll buck, rock to and fro!

PILOT & SAILORS
Hold on, good luck, as down you go!

PRINCE ERIC
What is that? Do you hear something?

GRIMSBY
Milord, please. Enough sea-faring! You've got to get back to court -
to honor your father's dying wish and
take up his crown!

PRINCE ERIC
That's not the life for me, Grimsby--
There it is again!

PILOT
We ought to head back to shore, your majesty.

GRIMSBY
Indeed, we should!

PRINCE ERIC
Not while I'm captain. Now follow that voice! To the ends of the earth if we have to!

PILOT
Aye-aye, Captain!

PILOT & SAILORS
There's mermaids out there in the bottomless blue
An' it's hey to the starboard, heave ho!
Watch out for 'em, lad, or you'll go to your ruin
Mysterious fathoms below!

MERSISTERS
Ah, we are the daughters of Triton
Great father who loves us and named us well:
Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Atina, Adella, Allana, and Ariel!

In concert we hope to enlighten
The hearts of the merfolk with music's swell
Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Atina, Adella, Allana

And then there is the youngest in her musical debut
Our seventh little sister - we're presenting her to you
To sing a song Sebastian wrote - her voice is like a bell
It's our sister, Ariel...

SEBASTIAN
Oh, no. Where is she? Once more...

MERSISTERS
Sister, Ariel!

[Thanks to Jacob Sanchez for corrections]

ARIEL
This is where I belong
Beneath the clear wide blue here!
I feel completely new here in the world above!
It's like my life was wrong
And somehow, now, at last I'm in
My own skin
Up here in the world above!

There's so much light here
Light and space!
The sun's so bright here
Upon my face!
It feels so right here
Warm as love...
Life seems to be
Almost calling to me
From this strange new world above!

[Thanks to Jacob Sanchez for corrections]

SCUTTLE
Wow - this is special... this is very, very unusual.

ARIEL
What? What is it?

SCUTTLE
It's a dinglehopper!

ARIEL
A dinglehopper?

SCUTTLE
Oh, these babies are fantabulous. Absolutely indispensary.
When it comes to dinglehoppers, I'm a regular encyclopoodia!

Say thatcha wanna have a hairdo
Like the folks who live up there do
That'll flap their wigs!

GULL 1
Flop their wigs!

GULL 2
Flap!

GULL 3
Awwwk!

SCUTTLE
Well, you'll look absolutely dandy
If you use one of these handy
Little thingmajigs!

GULL 1
Thingmabobs.

GULL 2
Jigs!

GULL 1
Bobs!

GULL 3
Awwwk!

SCUTTLE
Pick up the dinglehopper, just like so
Twirl it the way I'm twirling now! Give it a little yank, and there ya go!
You're what they call ¡°the dog's meow¡±!

GULLS
Wonderful stuff!

GULL 3
Awwwk!

GULLS
That human stuff! Can't get enough--

GULL 3
Awwwk!

GULLS
Of human stuff! And we are the authority--
No need for us to bluff!
Because we're great at explanatin' Human stuff!

ARIEL
(holds a pipe) What's that?

SCUTTLE
A snarfblatt!

ARIEL
Wow!

SCUTTLE
Back when the world was prehistoral, People sat as still as coral. Flat upon their bumps

GULL 1
On their runts!

GULL 2
Bunks!

GULL 3
Awwwk!

SCUTTLE
There they would be, not even thinkin'
Bored to death and barely blinkin'
Way down at the dumps

GULL 1
On the dumps!

GULL 2
At!

GULL 1
On!

GULL 3
Awwwk!

SCUTTLE
Then they invented snarfblatts, just by chance.
Suddenly life was la-di-da! Snarfblatts're what you use to
make folks dance!
Give it a blow, and then - voil¨¤!

GULLS
Wonderful stuff!

GULL 3
Awwwk!

GULLS
That human stuff! If you're a buff--

GULL 3
Awwwk!

GULLS
Of human stuff!

GULL 1
It's marvable!

GULL 2
Stupendiful!

SCUTTLE
Completely A-OJ!
Which sounds absurd, but take my word--

SCUTTLE & GULLS
That's what the humans say!
Sensible stuff
That human stuff!
None of it fluff--
Not human stuff!
And heaven knows
Since we're the pros
From us, you'll get no guff

SCUTTLE
And once you've got your who's-ma-gig--

GULL 1
A thinga-ma-what--

GULL 2
A whatch-ma-gig--

SCUTTLE
That's all you need to bring you up to snuff!

GULLS
Right up to snuff!
With proper dinglehopper groomin'
Rest assured... you'll look real human!

SCUTTLE, GULLS & ARIEL
We know, 'cause we know
Human stuff!

URSULA
When Daddy dear was floating on his deathbed
He divvied up the kingdom into two
I got his magic shell
And half the sea as well
His trident went to--

You know who his trident went to - don't you, babies!

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 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 soire¨¦s!
I want those trembling crowds of shellfish
Cracked and peeled for me to dine
Not because I'm mean or selfish--

FLOTSAM & JETSAM
No!

URSULA
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!

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 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
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
So?

URSULA
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 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 them 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!
Why didn't we think of it before? His youngest!

FLOTSAM
The one with the beautiful voice?

URSULA
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...
I want the little girl!

FLOTSAM
Ooh.

URSULA
And boys, I want her bad!

JETSAM
Ahh.

URSULA
I want her sitting here
To lure her dear
Devoted dad!

FLOTSAM & JETSAM
Mmmm.

URSULA
I want my goody-goody brother
To come rescue her - the sap!
And then one way or another--

FLOTSAM & JETSAM
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!

ARIEL
If only I could make my father understand.
I just don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things
could be so bad.

Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has ev'rything?

Look at this trove, treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here, you'd think
Sure, she's got ev'rything

I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got who's-its and what's-its galore
You want thing-a-mabobs? I've got twenty
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin'
Walkin' around on those
Whaddya call 'em? Oh, feet

Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strollin' along down the
What's that word again? Street

Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun

Wanderin' free
Wish I could be
Part of that world

What would I give
If I could live
Outta these waters?
What would I pay
To spend a day
Warm on the sand?

Betcha on land
They understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women
Sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand

And ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire? And why does it
What's the word? Burn

When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
Love to explore that shore up above
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world

ARIEL
Was I too late?

SCUTTLE
It's hard to say... Oh, I-- I can't make out a heartbeat!

ARIEL
No, look! He's breathing. Oh, Scuttle... just look at him. He's so beautiful.

What would I give
To live where you are?
What would I pay
To stay here beside you?
What would I do to see you
Smiling at me?

Where would we walk?
Where would we run?
If we could stay all day in the sun?
Just you and me
And I could be
Part of your world

I don't know when
I don't how
But I know something's starting right now
Watch and you'll see
Someday I'll be
Part of your world!

ALLANA
I'm talking about Ariel, that's who!

ADELLA
What about her?

ALLANA
She sure is acting fishy lately!

AQUATA
I'll say! Swimming in circles! Chasing her tail!

ALLANA
That girl is up to her gills in something!
She's dizzy and she's dreamy

AQUATA
Her head's up in the foam

ATINA
Her eyes have gone all gleamy
It's like there's no one home

ALLANA, AQUATA & ATINA
She floats away the days
Mopin' on the coastal shelf

ANDRINA
You ask her where she's goin'
She giggles like a fool

ADELLA
She barely sticks a toe in
Down at the tidal pool

ARISTA
It's more than just a phase
Face it, she's just not herself

AQUATA
Is she ill?

ATINA
Or insane?

ALLANA
Is it water on the brain?

AQUATA, ATINA, & ALLANA
What has got her bothered so?

ANDRINA
It's the bends!

ADELLA
It's the flu!

ARISTA
Gosh, I wish we had a clue!

MERSISTERS
Oh, wait! Oh, dear!
Good grief! It's clear...
She's in love!
She's in love!
Pounding heart! Ringing bells!

ALLANA
Look, I think she's even wearing brand new shells!

ANDRINA, ARISTA & ADELLA
She's in love!

AQUATA, ATINA & ALLANA
In love and it's divine!

ANDRINA, ARISTA & ADELLA
She's in love!

AQUATA, ATINA & ALLANA
That girl's on sandbar nine!

ANDRINA, ARISTA & ADELLA
Glory be!

MERSISTERS
Lord above!
Gotta be she's in love!

ARISTA
Hey, Flounder - d'ya notice anything weird about you-know-who?

FLOUNDER
You mean Ariel? I'll say!
She acts like she don't see me
She doesn't even speak
She treats me like sashimi
Left over from last week
You see her late at night
Tossin' in her ocean bed

MERSISTERS
Shoop, shoop
Shoop, shoop...

FLOUNDER
She's moody as a snapper
Oblivious as rocks
You swim right up and tap her--

FLOUNDER & MERSISTERS
She lays there like a lox!
As sure as dogfish bite
Somethin's made her lose her head!

MERSISTERS
She has lost her head!

FLOUNDER
And she sighs, and she swoons
And she's hummin' little tunes

MERSISTERS
Even has a sorta glow

FLOUNDER
What on earth could it be?

MERSISTERS
Any hammerhead can see!

AQUATA & ADELLA
That sigh!

ARISTA & ALLANA
That glow!

ANDRINA & ATINA
That swoon!

FLOUNDER
Oh, no!
She's in love!

MERSISTERS
She's flipped, it never fails!

FLOUNDER
She's in love!

MERSISTERS
All hot beneath her scales!

FLOUNDER
See her hips
How they swish!

MERSISTERS
Well, well, well
Don't you wonder who's the lucky seafood dish?

FLOUNDER
She's in love!

MERSISTERS
She found a deep-sea hunk!

FLOUNDER
She's in love!

MERSISTERS
And now she's as good as sunk!

FLOUNDER
See her blush!

MERSISTERS & FLOUNDER
See her grin!
Gotta be love she's in!

FLOUNDER
Ariel-and-someone swimmin' in the sea!
K-i-s-s-i-n-g!

MERSISTERS
Her cheeks could not flush pinker!

FLOUNDER
It's clear as h2o!

MERSISTERS
She's caught - hook, line and sinker!

ANDRINA, ARISTA & ATINA
Crushed out!

AQUATA, ADELLA & ALLANA
Switched on!

AQUATA, ANDRINA, ARISTA & ALLANA
Worked up!
Far gone!

FLOUNDER
Knocked down!

MERSISTERS
Hard hit!

FLOUNDER
In deep!

MERSISTERS
That's it!
She's in love!
She's in love!

FLOUNDER
She's in love!

FLOUNDER & MERSISTERS
She's in love!
She's in love!
Plain to see!
No mistake!
Look at those moonbeams in her wake!
Obvious what they must be symptoms of--
She's in love!
She's in love!
She's in love!
Shoop, shoop
She's in love!
Yeah, yeah!

PRINCE ERIC
Where did she go?
Where can she be?
When will she come again
Calling to me?
Calling to me...
Calling to me...

Somewhere there's a girl
Who's like the shimmer of the wind upon the water
Somewhere there's a girl
Who's like the glimmer of the sunlight on the sea
Somewhere there's a girl
Who's like a swell of endless music
Somewhere she is singing
And her song is meant for me

And her voice
It's sweet as angels sighing
And her voice
It's warm as summer sky
And that sound
It haunts my dreams
And spins me 'round
Until it seems
I'm flying...
Her voice

I can sense her laughter
In the ripple of the waves against the shoreline
I can see her smiling
In the moonlight as it settles on the sand
I can feel her waiting
Just beyond the pale horizon
Singing out a melody too lovely to withstand

And her voice
It's there as dusk is falling
And her voice
It's there as dawn steals by
Pure and bright, it's always near
All day, all night
And still I hear it calling...
Her voice

Strange as a dream...
Real as the sea...
If you can hear me now
Come set me free...
Come set me free!

KING TRITON
This is where you belong!

ARIEL
You don't understand!

KING TRITON
For once, just listen, will you?
That savage brute would kill you in the world above!

ARIEL
He's not a barbarian--

KING TRITON
Don't try that same old song!
I'll have you grounded 'til next year!
Am I clear?
Don't go near that world above!

ARIEL
I'm not a child anymore!

KING TRITON
No? Have you lost your senses? He's a human; you're a mermaid.

ARIEL
It doesn't matter!

KING TRITON
I'm still the king here - my word is law!
This filth you bring here is the final straw
And push, my daughter, has come to shove!
I'll make you obey
'Til you do as I say
I don't care, come what may
But I'll keep you away
From that cruel, harsh, cold, vile world above!

Under the Sea

SEBASTIAN
The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake

Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for?

Under the sea
Under the sea
Darlin', it's better down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin' full time to floatin'
Under the sea

Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll

SEA CREATURES
The fish on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in the bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry

SEA CREATURES

Oh, under the sea

SEBASTIAN & SEA CREATURES
Under the sea, Under the sea
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here naturally, Under the sea

SEBASTIAN
Even the sturgeon an' the ray
They get the urge 'n' start to play

SEBASTIAN & SEA CREATURES
We got the spirit, you got to hear it
Under the sea

SEBASTIAN
The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp

SEBASTIAN & SEA CREATURES
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
The ray, he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin' out
The blackfish, she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it's at
An' oh, that blowfish blow!

SEBASTIAN & SEA CREATURES
Under the sea, Under the sea
Under the sea, Under the sea

SEBASTIAN & SEA CREATURES
When the sardine begin the beguine
It's music to me

SEBASTIAN
What do they got?

SEBASTIAN & SEA CREATURES
A lot of sand
We got a hot crustacean band

SEBASTIAN & SEA CREATURES
Each little clam here know how to jam here, Under the sea
Each little slug here cuttin' a rug here, Under the sea
Each little snail here know how to wail here
That's why it's hotter under the water
Ya, we in luck here down in the muck here
Under...
Under the sea, Under the sea

Flotsam: Poor child.

Jetsam: Poor sweet child.

Flotsam: She ahas a very serious problem. Hasn't she?

Flotsam: If only...

Jetsam: ...there were something...

Together: ...we could do.

[Flotsam and Jetsam]
Sweet child
Poor child
So, tragic
So misunderstood

Dear child
Sad child
Life's looking
Shall we say
Not good
No

Who'll release her woes and worries
Who will help her get her man
Sweet child
Perhaps the sea witch can

Ariel: You mean Ursula?

[Flotsam and Jetsam]
She knows your dreams

Ariel: Father says her magic is evil.

[Flotsam and Jetsam]
She'll grant your prayers

Ariel: Please, I have to go!

[Flotsam and Jetsam]
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

Flotsam: Together...

Jetsam: ...forever.

Ariel: Take me to her.

Sweet child.

Poor Unfortunate Souls

URSULA: The only way to get what you want is to become a human
yourself.
ARIEL: Can you do that?
URSULA: My dear, sweet child! That's what I do. It's what I live
for, to help unfortunate merfolk, like yourself.
Poor souls! With no one else to turn to...

URSULA
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,
True? Yes.

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,
pathetic,

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.

Those 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.

URSULA: Have we got a deal?
ARIEL: If I become human, I'll never be with my father or
sisters again.
URSULA: But...you have your man. Life's full of tough choices
ain't it. Oh! And there is one more thing.
We haven't discussed the subject of payment.
ARIEL: But I don't have any...
URSULA: I'm not asking much, just a token really, a trifle.
What I want from you is...your voice!
ARIEL: But without my voice, how can I...

URSULA:
You'll have your looks.
Your pretty face.

URSULA: And don't underestimate the importance of body
language! Hah!

URSULA:
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?

Come on! 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.

You poor unfortunate soul.
Its sad, but true.
If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet, you've got to pay the toll.
Take a gulp and take a breath and go ahead and sign the scroll.
(Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her boys,
the boss is on a roll!)
This poor unfortunate soul.

Paluga, sarruga, the winds of the Caspian Sea.
Now rings us glossitis and max laryngitis,
La voce to me!

URSULA: Now...sing!
ARIEL: (sings)
URSULA: Keep singing!

LOUIS:
Les poisson, les poissons,
how I love les poissons,
love to chop, and to serve, little fish.
FIrst I cut off their heads,
then I pull out their bones.
Ah mais oui, ca c'est toujours delish.

Les poissons, les poissons,
Hee hee hee, hah hah hah.
With the cleaver I hack them in two.
I pull out what's inside.
and I serve it up fried.
God, I love little fishes, don't you?

Here's something for tempting the palate.
Prepared in the classic technique.
First you pound the fish flat with a mallet.
Then you slash through the skin,
give the belly a slice,
then you rub some salt in,
'cause that makes it taste nice.

Sacre bleu! What is this?
How on earth could I miss
Such a sweet little succulent crab.
Quel dommage, what a loss.
Here we go, in the sauce.
Now some flour, I think, just a dab.

Now I stuff you with bread.
It don't hurt, 'cause you're dead.
And you're certainly lucky you are.
'Cause it's gonna be hot
in my big silver pot.
Toodle loo, mon poisson, au revoir!

SEBASTIAN:
There you see her,
sitting there across the way.
She don't got a lot to say,
but there's something about her.
And you don't know why,
But you're dying to try.
You wanna Kiss The Girl.

Yes, you want her.
Look at her, you know you do.
Possible she wants you, too.
There is one way to ask her.
It don't take a word,
Not a single word.
Go on and Kiss The Girl.

Sha la la la la la, my oh my.
Look like the boy too shy.
Ain't gonna Kiss The Girl.
Sha la la la la la ain't that sad.
Ain't it a shame, too bad.
He gonna miss the girl.

SEBASTIAN, SCUTTLE and backup FISH:
Now's your moment,
Floating in a blue lagoon.
Boy, you better do it soon,
no time will be better.
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you Kiss The Girl.

Sha la la la la la, don't be scared.
You got the mood prepared,
go on and Kiss The Girl.
Sha la la la la la, don't stop now.
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna Kiss The Girl.

Sha la la la la la, float along.
And listen to the song,
the song say Kiss The Girl.
Sha la la la la la, the music play.
Do what the music say.
You gotta Kiss The Girl.

You've got to Kiss The Girl.
You wanna Kiss The Girl.
You've gotta Kiss The Girl.
Go on and Kiss The Girl!

If Only / Her Voice

Ariel:
If only you could know the things I long to say.
If only I could tell you what I wish I could convey.
It's in my every galnce.
My heart's an open book.
You'd see it all at onc if only you would look.

If only you would glimpse the feeling that i feel.
If only you would notice what I'm dying to reveal.
The dreams I cant declare, the needs i cant deny.
You'd understand them all if only you would try.

All my secrets you would learn them.
All my longings you'd return them.
Then the silence would be broken.
Not a word would need be spoken.

Eric:
What is it about her thats so wonderfully impossibily familiar.
Why do I feel dizzy in a way I've only felt but once before.
How come when she looks at me it seems like time stops moving.
Almost like the way it did that day upon the shore.
But that voice.

Ariel:
If only it were true.
If only for a while.

Eric:
Oh that voice.

Ariel:
If only you would notice how I ache behind my smile.

Eric:
Where's that voice

Ariel:
I guess you never will.
I guess it doesn't show.
But if I never find a way to tell you so.
Oh what I would give if only you could konw.

Sebastian:
(Spoken)Bless you child. Tomorrow the prince will have his pick of any princess in the land.
How can a little mermaid compete with that.

If only i knew how i'd make him see the light.
If only it were up to me this all would turn out right.
And if I only could.
I'd tell you what i'd do.
I'd simply wave me claw, i'd make your dreams come true.
And wouldn't that surprise you if you only knew.

King Triton:
How could she just suddenly completely disappear into thin water.
It's been two whole days and I dont know where she has gone.

Eric:
Oh that voice.

King Triton:
If only you could know.

Sebastian:
If only I could help.

Eric:
Where's that voice.

Ariel:
If only there were time i know we'd kiss at last.

Eric:
That voice.

King Triton:
If only you come back I'll change my ways.

Sebastian:
Just one more day for that kiss to come.

Ariel:
But time keeps racing and our moment's almost past.

King Triton:
I'll try to understand.

Ariel:
It has to happen now.

Sebastian:
I'd give my life up to make her come back.

King Triton:
I should've started listening to you all along.

Eric:
How I wish that hirl could have been this one.

Ariel:
There's only one more day until I have to go.

Eric:
If only.

Ariel, Sebastian & King Triton:
Oh what i would give if only you could know.

Eric:
And after all, what will occur?
Maybe I'll find that voice but I'll lose her.

Ariel:
If only

Sebastian:
If only

King Triton:
If only

Ursula:
And now you poor unfortunate souls
Time's up
You're through
Now the power of the Trident
Has been once again reborn
All the magic of the ocean
And the shell at my control
And now dark shall reign forever
Over ocean, sea, and shore!
You poor unfortunate souls!

[Thanks to Marc for lyrics]
