Original Broadway Cast of The Little Mermaid
Kiss the Girl
[SEBASTIAN]
We got to create the right kinda mood

[SCUTTLE]
You mean like candlelight and champagne?

[SEBASTIAN]
Nonsense. It don't take all that
Everything we need we got right here:
Percussion. . . strings. . . winds. . . and words

[SEBASTIAN & ANIMALS]
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl

Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
Possible she wants you, too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
[SEBASTIAN]
Go on and kiss the girl

(spoken)
Sing with me now:

(sung)
Sha la la la la la, my oh my
Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la ain't that sad?
Ain't it a shame, too bad
He gonna miss the girl

[PRINCE ERIC, spoken]
You know, I really ought to know your name. Maybe I could guess. . . Alexandra? Annabelle? Beatrice?


[SEBASTIAN]
Ariel! Her name is Ariel!

[PRINCE ERIC, spoken]
. . .Ariel? Ariel? Hey, that's kinda pretty. Okay--Ariel

[SEBASTIAN & ANIMALS]
Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la, don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la, don't stop now
Don't try to hide it
How you wanna kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la, float along
And listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la, the music play
Do what the music say
Go on and kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl!
You've gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl!
Go on and kiss the girl!
