The Little Mermaid Audition Vocal Music and Lyrics
Vocals:
“Part of Your World” Start track @ 1:52 sing till end
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
“Part of Your World Reprise” Start track @ 1:54-End
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!
“She’s In Love” Start track @ 1:20 sing through 2:33
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
She’s moody as a snapper
Oblivious as rocks
You swim right up and tap her—
She lays there like a lox!
As sure as dogfish bite
Somethin’s made her lose her head!
And she sighs, and she swoons
And she’s hummin’ little tunes
Even has a sorta glow
What on earth could it be?
Any hammerhead can see!
That sigh!
That glow!
That swoon!
Oh, no!
She’s in love!
She’s in love!
See her hips
How they swish!
Don’t you wonder who’s the lucky seafood dish?
She’s in love!
She’s in love!
See her blush
See her grin,
Got to be love she’s in.
“Poor Unfortunate Souls” Start track @ 2:24 Sing through 3:44
The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore!
Yet 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On a lady who's withdrawn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 a 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
It's sad, but true
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
You've got the pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
Go ahead and sign the scroll!
Flotsam, Jetsam--now I've got her, boys
The boss is on a roll
You poor unfortunate soul!
“Under the Sea” Start @ Beginning, Sing through 1:50
The seaweed is always greener
In someone 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 looking for?
Under the sea, under the sea
Darling its better down where its wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we're devoting full time to floating
Under the sea
“Positoovity” Start @ Beginning, Sing through 0:51
Now look at me
You see this face
In terms of beauty I'm a basket case
And as for style and savoir faire
Well I guess there ain’t
A whole lot there
Yup, although perhaps
It makes no sense
I strut my stuff
With lots of confidence
Cause though I lack
And awful lot
There is one thing I got!
I got positoovity!
I got positoovity!
It gives me the zam
And the zow
And the yaddle laddle laddle
That’s why I walk
With a wiggle in my waddle
Cause once you’ve heard that word
There aint nothing you can do
So let that positoovity
Work for you
“One Step Closer” Start track @ 1:01, Sing Through 2:11
Once the music hits you, inhibitions fall away
And you find that you're expressing things
Your voice daren't say
Don't be afraid, let go!
Soon as you surrender, what's inside will sweep on through
As the boundaries between us disappear!
And ev'ry little step
Ev'ry single step
Is one step closer
To talking loud and clear
A dance is like a conversation
Except you never need to make a sound
And once you've begun
You speak as one
Give and take
Back and forth
Round and round
“Fathoms Below” Start @ Beginning, Sing through 0:45
I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue
And it's hey to the starboard, heave-ho
Brave sailor, beware, cause a big 'uns a-brewin'
In mysterious fathoms below
Heave-ho
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
Fathoms below, below
From whence wayward westerlies blow
Where Triton is king
And his merpeople sing
In mysterious fathoms below
