All Good Things Must End

"All Good Things Must End" was a song that Ursula sings in the demo version of the Broadway musical adaptation for The Little Mermaid when she is disguised as the beautiful maiden Vanessa, and would have been sung by Emily Skinner as Ursula had she been chosen for the part. Similar to the song she sang in the film, she sang it as a means of gloating her victory, though unlike in the film, she actually sings it to Ariel's face in a taunting manner. The song was ultimately cut from the version of the musical that was released, and with it, Ursula's transformation into Vanessa, because Sherie Rene Scott, the chosen actress for Ursula, felt this was out of character for what she envisioned of the character, with the song ultimately being replaced by I Want The Good Times Back.

Lyrics
 Look at how you're fretting Life's getting upsetting Loverboy's departing You're starting to cry I guess your dreams ain't turning out so swell My dear, well, my dear, here's why

All good things must end Flowers fade, balloons deflate And butterflies disintegrate And all good things must end Puppies die and teeth decay And lollipops are licked away

And oh Jewels begin to lose their glow Divas hear their last bravo Even kings and queens eat crow

My dear, 'cause hey Struggle though you may The rules won't bend All good things must

Gee, you're awfully mum, dear So glum dear, how come, dear? Better just embrace it 'Cause face it, you're through And if perhaps things didn't go your way My dear, hey, my dear, boo hoo!

See you in church, doll.

All good things must end Beauty queens get old and fat And wrinkle up, and that is that No one bucks the trend Every handsome Romeo Gets bald on top and soft below And soon every plum becomes a prune Cities go to rack and ruin Nothing in the world's immune

And as for love All of the above applies, my friend All good things They come with strings

Yes, all good things must end Pricey wine and fine champagne Are flushed together down the drain And as the fates intend Parties dwindle down 'Til you're unconscious on the bathroom floor

And you, you've reached the end now, too Everybody's bill comes due Funny how the time just flew

My sweet and gee Sad as it may be Well, why pretend? For all good things The fat chick sings And curtains soon descend And you, poor thing You've had your fling But all good things must

End!
