["The Little Mermaid"] She was as warm and cozy as a scarecrow key. Ka-la-la-la-la-la, Ka-la-la-la-la-la. She had a more sensual want for me, one for a face as she.

Ka-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Ka-la. I'll tell you something what's crazy about her when her body is, but when she won't stop singing, he won't whisper in her ear. Gee willy gin, gee willy gin, you sing just like a lark.

Gee willy gin, gee willy gin, you should take in the dark. I could listen to you each night as long as you keep out of sight. But when you turn off the light, I see you wakin'.

I'm in paradise when you vocalize, I forget your funny face. When you count the trots, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la. Now you may belong to the human race, but we're all nurses to get their space.

Hey, will you continue your trots, la-la, la-la. Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee! Ha-ha!

Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Ha-ha!

Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Ha-ha!

Ha-ha! He went and went and went upon her honeymoon. Sha-la-la-la-la!

Sha-la-la-la-la! All her hubby heard from her each morning light and noon, was sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! Sha-la!

But one morning he woke up and saw a samurai. He gave one look and loudly cried, For goodness sake, please think! He will again, he will again, When I see that he's in you.

He will again, he will again, I don't know what to do! But here's the best way I can find, they will see it on my mind. But gee whizzes, I'm in paradise.

When you're vocalized, I forget nobody's saying. When you start that tra-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, you'll be so rich in the choir. I guess I'll have to sing it here.

Gee whizzes, sing your tra-la-la, la-la. One day after Jane Williamson was married, she said to her husband, Well, dear, are you sure you're going to be able to keep the wolf away from the door? He said, Don't you worry, Jane Williamson.

When that day comes, take a good look at your face, and call for good. Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha! Gee whaddy gin, gee whaddy gin, what a me life is in you!

Yeah, who is this? Hey, who is this? What have you done to me?

Gee whaddy gin, gee whaddy gin, I don't know what to do! But here's the best way I can find, close my eyes just like I'm blind, then we'll see that on my mind! Gee whaddy gin, I'm in paradise, when you're both alive, I forget your funny face!

When you start that tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! You can only swim this far right here. I guess I'll have to give you a chance.

See you when you can sing your song la la. La la.
