Ariel, you should've stayed under the sea,
where sharks looked like sharks instead of handsome and charming.
Ariel, you should've stayed where air was tight
'cause at the time you emerged women had no rights.
King Triton was nothing compared to these men,
submerged into the order of the day you would have spoken when spoken to and kept your eyes to the ground that under the sea you would have been superior to...
...suspended in the ebbing and flowing deep.
Need to see the world?
Need to spread your wings?!
Try a new part of the water because the only way we get wings on land is by walking half-naked on TV.
That is what we consider beauty.
