In addition to its musical sequence, the song serves as Ursula's leitmotif throughout the film. Ursula used the song to seduce Ariel into trading her voice for the chance to temporarily become human and be with Prince Eric.
There was dialogue interruption, in which Ursula told the mermaid about her full plan. A short melodic reprise of the song was featured later in the original Disney movie in which it is sung by Vanessa , Ursula's alter ego, who is voiced by Jodi Benson as she had stolen Ariel's voice. In it, she sang about how she was going to control the ocean and capture Ariel. This reprise was the final song in the film not counting the finale for " Part of Your World " , and serves as a reprise of "Poor Unfortunate Souls".
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? And I fortunately know a little magic It's a talent that I always have possessed And dear lady, 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! 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 [dialogue interruption] 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?

Things are working out according to my ultimate design! Soon I'll have that little mermaid, and the ocean will be mine! Come on, I know you need a little magic And magic is my specialty du jour Don't just stand there looking sick Would I kid you?
Play a trick? Like I told you, I don't do that anymore So I think you ought to take my little bargain Yes, I think you ought to make my little deal Sure, it's hard to leave your life But you could be a prince's wife Why don't you let me take that dream and make it real?
Oh, oh, oh—. Come on, you poor unfortunate soul Poor child! Poor fish! Aren't you glad you brought your problem To a lady you can trust? Won't you let me grant your wish? You poor unfortunate soul Poor sweet! Poor dear!
