All Good Things Must End

"All Good Things Must End" was a song that Ursula sings in the demo version of the Broadway musical adaptation for The Little Mermaid when she is disguised as the beautiful maiden Vanessa and would have been sung by Emily Skinner as Ursula had she been chosen for the part. Similar to the song she sang in the film, she sang it as a means of gloating her victory, though unlike in the film, she actually sings it to Ariel's face in a taunting manner. The song was ultimately cut from the version of the musical that was released, and with it, Ursula's transformation into Vanessa, because Sherie Rene Scott, the chosen actress for Ursula, felt this was out of character for what she envisioned of the character, with the song ultimately being replaced by I Want the Good Times Back, which in itself would be replaced by Daddy's Little Angel for Regional and Licensed productions.
==Lyrics==
Look at how you're fretting 
Life's getting upsetting 
Loverboy's departing 
You're starting to cry 
I guess your dreams ain't turning out so swell 
My dear, well, my dear, here's why 
All good things must end 
Flowers fade, balloons deflate 
And butterflies disintegrate 
And all good things must end 
Puppies die and teeth decay 
And lollipops are licked away 
And oh 
Jewels begin to lose their glow 
Divas hear their last bravo 
Even kings and queens eat crow 
My dear, 'cause hey 
Struggle though you may 
The rules won't bend 
All good things must 
Gee, you're awfully mum, dear 
So glum dear, how come, dear? 
Better just embrace it 
'Cause face it, you're through 
And if perhaps things didn't go your way 
My dear, hey, my dear, boo hoo! 
See you in church, doll. 
All good things must end 
Beauty queens get old and fat 
And wrinkle up, and that is that 
No one bucks the trend 
Every handsome Romeo 
Gets bald on top and soft below 
And soon every plum becomes a prune 
Cities go to rack and ruin 
Nothing in the world's immune 
And as for love 
All of the above applies, my friend 
All good things 
They come with strings 
Yes, all good things must end 
Pricey wine and fine champagne 
Are flushed together down the drain 
And as the fates intend 
Parties dwindle down 
'Til you're unconscious on the bathroom floor 
And you, you've reached the end now, too 
Everybody's bill comes due 
Funny how the time just flew 
My sweet and gee 
Sad as it may be 
Well, why pretend? 
For all good things 
The fat chick sings 
And curtains soon descend 
And you, poor thing 
You've had your fling 
But all good things must 
End!
