Lyrics/Dialogue[]
Ariel: (spoken) There, you're safe. Nobody's gonna hurt you.
Poor little frightened baby
Flounder: (spoken) Baby?
Ariel: Wandering on your own
You've been through a lot
Haven't you, Spot?
Ariel: (spoken) Poor Spot, where's your mother? Where's your family? Don't cry, Spot, I'll take care of you.
Ariel: Everyone needs a family
No one should be alone
Now, Flounder and me
We're gonna be
The family you've never known
Ariel: (spoken) Flounder, we have to take him home with us.
Flounder: (spoken) We have to---WHAT?!
Ariel: (spoken) Oh, Flounder, can't you see?
Just a little love
And he'll be good as new
In just a little while
Watch a smile come shining through
He's just a little scared
He needs a friend today
He needs a little love
How can I turn away?
(Spot humming)
Ariel: (spoken) He's singing!
Flounder: (spoken) He sounds like you. Kind of.
Ariel: (spoken) See, he likes you! You'll be his big brother.
Flounder: (spoken) I don't want to be his big brother! And I don't want to be his midnight snack, either. It won't work, Ariel!
Ariel: (spoken) Yes, it will.
Just a little love
That's how you begin
Showing him you care
Being there to tuck him in
Helping him to grow
Each and every day
Just a little love
Can go a long, long way
