The Little Mermaid Official Broadway Karaoke - I Want the Good Times Back

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 dont 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, Im not mad
Theres 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 soireés!
I want those trembling crowds of shellfish
Cracked and peeled for me to dine
Not because Im mean or selfish—

FLOTSAM & JETSAM
No!

URSULA
I only want whats 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, well 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
Ill dethrone him!
De-bone him! And then boys oh, boys were back in business! All together now:

FLOTSAM, JETSAM & EELS
Youll 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, its sheer abuse of power—

FLOTSAM, JETSAM & EELS
So?

URSULA
Aint that what powers 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
Its more than simply sentimental—

Ursula
Its an aphrodisiac!

FLOTSAM, JETSAM & EELS
Remember those good times!

URSULA
Oh god! Were they good times!

FLOTSAM, JETSAM & EELS
Its time for more good times!

URSULA
Lets get them back!
If only I had a way
To make him pay
Id set ol Triton straight!

FLOTSAM
Poison?

JETSAM
Sure

FLOTSAM
Blackmail?

JETSAM
Or

FLOTSAM
His daughters

JETSAM
Maybe—

URSULA
Wait!
Why didnt we think of it before? His youngest!

FLOTSAM
The one with the beautiful voice?

URSULA
Which she takes for granted.
A woman doesnt know how precious her voice is until shes 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
Ill 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, its my time!
And frankly, its high time!
Those fabulous good times...
Theyre coming back!

I love this song! It gives Ursula so much more personality then we get to see in the movie. We also get to see more of her evilness :D
