I Want the Good Times Back

"I Want the Good Times Back" is a song sung by Ursula, the sea witch, Flotsam and Jetsam, and her Chorus of Minion Eels in the Musical version of The Little Mermaid. During the song Ursula begins to form her plan to overthrow her brother, King Triton, and reclaim the Sea as it's 'Queen'. 
The song was later replaced with a new song "Daddy's Little Angel", when the revised version of the show went on tour, which is the version that will be found in the licensed version of the show too.
==Lyrics==
URSULA:When daddy dear was floating on his deathbedHe divvied up the kingdom into twoI got his magic shellAnd half the sea as wellHis trident went to--
(Spoken)You know who his trident went to--don't you, babies!
(Sung)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, I'm not madThere's just one little thing that I want...Just one teensy thing that I want:
I want the good times back!I want those grand ol' days!I want the twisted nightsThe sick delightsThe wild soirees!I want those trembling crowds of shellfishCracked and peeled for me to dineNot because I'm mean or selfish--
FLOTSAM & JETSAM(Spoken):No!
URSULA (Sung):I only want what's mine!I want disgusting wealth!I want exquisite sin!Want the entire seaTo worship meOn bended fin!I want to greet my loving subjectsAnd then have them as a snack!
Remember those good times?I want them back!
(Spoken)Picture it, my sucklings. Pretty soon, we'll be back on top! Sipping bubbly... eating caviar before it hatches! King Tritonis the only thing that stands in our way. If only I can find his Achilles heel... the soft quivering underbelly, beneath allthat armor... I'll dethrone him! De-bone him! And then boys... oh, boys... we're back in business!All together now:
FLOTSAM, JETSAM & EELS (Sung):You'll bring the good times back!Resume your wacky fun!Restore the joyful charmOf causing harmTo everyone!
URSULA:I want to make the merfolk cowerLike they did in days of yoreSure, it's sheer abuse of power--
FLOTSAM, JETSAM & EELS(Spoken):So?
URSULA (Sung):Ain't that what power's for?I want to taste their tears!I want to hear their screams!I want the special rushYou get from from crushingHopes and dreams!
FLOTSAM, JETSAM & EELS:It's more than simply sentimental--
URSULA:It's an aphrodisiac!
FLOTSAM, JETSAM & EELS:Remember those good times!
URSULA:Oh God, were they good times!
FLOTSAM, JETSAM & EELS:It's time for more good times!
URSULA:Let's get 'em back!If only I had a wayTo make him payI'd set ol' Triton straight!
FLOTSAM:Poison?
JETSAM:Sure...
FLOTSAM:Blackmail?
JETSAM:Or...
FLOTSAM:His daughters...
JETSAM:Maybe--
URSULA:WAIT!
(Spoken)Why didn't we think of that before? His youngest!
FLOTSAM (Spoken):The one with the beautiful voice?
URSULA (Spoken):Which she takes for granted! A woman doesn't know how precious her voice is until she's been silenced. Ha! Perhaps we couldteach them both a lesson...
(Sung)I want the little girl!
FLOTSAM (Spoken):Oh
URSULA:And boys, I want her bad!
JETSAM (Spoken):Ah?
URSULA:I want her sitting hereTo lure her dearDevoted dad!
FLOTSAM & JETSAM (Spoken):Mmm!
URSULA:I want my goody-goody brotherTo come rescue her - the sap!And then one way or another--
FLOTSAM & JETSAM (Spoken):Surprise!
URSULA:I'll 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' TritonPinned and wriggling on the rackThen, fellas, it's my time!And frankly, it's high time!Those fabulous good times...They're coming back!

URSULAShe didn't waste much timeThe little shameless teaseOne sunset’s barely throughAnd Princey-Poo is on his kneesThey'll be smooching by day two, boysIf she keeps it up like thisSo there's just one thing to do, boys
FLOTSAM AND JETSAMWhat?
URSULAGo up and block that kiss!
JETSAMOh!
URSULAMeanwhileI bet her Daddy's worried badAnd wondering where she's been
ALLSoon he'll guessAnd then, oh yes!The real fun can begin!
URSULA(spoken)Onward and upwards my live wires!And stop that lip lock!
FLOTSAM AND JETSAMYes, your wretchedness!
URSULASo let the clock run outTheir time is almost upAnd once they're trappedI'll have them wrappedAround my suction cupWith my tentacles around themI'll at last be back on trackAnd headed for good timesDeliciously good timesTwo days!And the good timesThey're coming back!
