Little Mermaid Part of Your World

song music Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman, performed by Jodi Benson (Ariel), from The Little Mermaid 1989 movie. "Part of Your World" is one of the most emotional songs in all of Disney's animation. Jodi Benson managed with her extraordinarily crystalline voice to convey to us that flow of emotions that only a teenage girl, in her candor, can experience. Every time I listen to it, I almost don't move so as not to spoil the magic that surrounds you.
FLOUNDER: Are you OK? ARIEL: If only I could make him understand. I just don't see things the way he does. I don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things could be bad.

Look at this stuff
Look at this stuff

Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl

The girl who has everything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here you'd think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs?
I've got twenty!
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna be where the people are

I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'
Walking around on those - what do you call 'em?
Oh, feet!

Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumping, dancing
Strolling along down the - what's that word again?
Street

Up where they walk, up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free - wish I could be
Part of that world
wish I could be Part of that world


What would I give if I could live out of these waters?
What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?
Bet'cha on land they understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women, sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand

And ready to know what the people know
ready to know what the people know

Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it - what's the word?
Burn?

When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love, love to explore that shore up above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world.
