The prince wanders, unable to Think of the things that he must do For he thinks his heart is starting to ache For the women he met by mistake
But she won’t know that it was he Who saved her from the depths of the sea And without two legs like the other men He could never see her again
Melancholy and pain arrayed And then he knows that there’s a way To travel to the witch of the sea And ask her to answer his hopeful plea
And so he swims to the dark and deep No time to rest, no time to sleep He reaches the dungeon of the ocean floor Goes up and slowly knocks on the door
Inside answers the witch, appeased Thinking of the kingdom she will seize She listens to the prince ask for legs As he bows his head to her and begs
She tells him that he has a choice To give up his alluring voice And in return walk on land But only if he follows her demands
For should the maiden not love him back The spell that holds him would begin to crack And he’ll dissolve into the seas But foolishly, the prince agrees
