McClain, China Anne - Poor Unfortunate Souls Lyrics






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

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

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
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 had to rake cross the coals
I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls

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
Poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
And I help them?
Yes, I do

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?

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On a lady who's withdrawn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

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!

Poor unfortunate soul
It's sad, but true
If you want to cross a bridge
You've got to pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead come on

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

Poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
And I help them?
Yes, I do

  29. S.... D....

    Now, will they made another version of Poor Unfortunate Souls in The Little Mermaid remake as the "iconic Disney song sung by pop singers in the live-action remake"?

  30. R.... K....

    Wow ,i love it ✨💙

  31. m.... ....

    every vk should sing a remake of there parents songs

  32. W.... L....

    They should do all the other kids singing their parents' songs, or just songs from their parents' movies.

    E.G:
    Mal/ Audrey: Once Upon a Dream
    Evie/ Doug: I'm Wishing or With a Smile and a Song or Whistle While You Work
    Carlos: Cruella de Vil
    Jay: One Jump Ahead
    Ben: Belle or Tale As Old As Time (they already have Be Our Guest)
    Harry: The Elegant Captain Hook
    Gil: Gaston
    Lonnie: Reflections or I'll make a Man Out of You
    Dizzy/ Chad: A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes or Cinderelly

  33. J.... ....

    This wasn’t in the movie was it

  34. N.... P....

    I feel like after Uma went under the water back to the Isle in descendants 2 she should have singed this before the movie ended...

  35. A.... H....

    I love this!

  36. A.... a....

    This matches my feeling

  37. S.... M....

    Ursula was true to her words though..
    She gave them what they wanted and Disney makes it seem as though she went against the contact! Same goes for Dr. Faciller (Celia’s father)

  38. G.... A....

    In the left part of the backround, im guessing that's Auradon..

  39. A.... C....

    Never thought that a mother-daughter relationship meant that they would sing the same song.

    Just kidding.Its Disney,of course they will

  40. n.... p....

    This is actually Her mum song ( Ursula ) look it up but i think she changed it a little tho.yet its cool that she sang it btw Jean Patrick Leon i agree it should be in the movie

  41. C.... G....

    I love the beat

  42. E.... M....

    2:13 same

  43. A.... I....

    There shouldn't be from 'Descendants 2' cuz it's not


    R.I.P Cameron Boyce
    1999-2019

  44. *.... ....

    These poor unfortunate souls 🐙🐚

  45. S.... ....

    This sucks

  46. D.... G....

    I LOVE the music and I LOVE Cameron boyce 😧😧😧😭😭❤💔💔💔💔

  47. C.... C....

    This should have been in the movie

    C.... C....

    I was hoping that Audrey would seek Uma help and she would sing this song then they would team up against mal... but 🤷🏾‍♀️

  48. A.... R....
