I got lucky!
The royal family thought I had fallen off the boat of passing pirates or something
and they took me in!
They fed me and gave me dresses,
and tried to get me to talk.
It was no use.
The sea witch had taken my voice.
All I could do was cough,
smile,
and give thumbs up.
[coughing]
The king even sent in his best mime to help me.
I learned to walk, though!
And run!
And skip!
and yes kids, I learned to dance!
And I loved it!
And get this:
there was gonna be a big party at the castle!
Dancing was the way I was gonna wow the Prince!
So, I practiced,
and practiced,
and practiced!
And practiced,
and praaacticed!!
And practiced!
Aaand practiced.
And then, the big night came!
Everyone else was having a great time.
They were all talking and laughing.
I wanted to do that.
Then, the disco ball began to spin,
the music started to play a dance song,
and I started groovin’.
Before I knew it,
there was a crowd around me,
and people were chanting
"Go! go! go! go!"
I was the dancing queen!
I did the robot.
I did the moonwalk.
I did the funky monkey.
I did the cabbage patch.
I don't know what this one was,
but they loved it!
I did the Thriller!
Then the most magical thing in the world happened.
The prince, THE PRINCE!, asked me to dance!
We danced all night!
I wanted to tell him what a good time I was having,
and how much I liked dancing with him,
and how cute he was when he did the funky monkey,
but I couldn’t.
He thought I was just shy, I guess...
Then he did a VERY princely thing.
He bowed, and kissed my hand.
And woohoo ShaBang!! I was so stoked by how sweet he was that I said
Guys, I actually SAID “WOW!”
And then I thought...
WOW!!… I totally just talked!!!
My voice was back!
[singing]
So then the prince said,
And then I said,
And that’s how the sea witch’s spell was broken.
We talked and danced the rest of the evening,
And that's how the Prince and I fell in love!
It was probably THIS move that sealed the deal.
And I’m glad to report we lived happily ever after!!
The end!
And that's the end of The Little Mermaid!
