Part of Your World (The Little Mermaid) Lyrics
Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
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?
Lookin' around here you'd think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs?
I got twenty
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see
Wanna see 'em dancin'
Walkin' around on those
Whad'ya call 'em? oh - feet
Flippin' your fins you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strollin' along down a
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
What would I give
If I could live
Outta these waters?
What would I pay
To spend a day
Warm on the sand?
Betcha on land
They understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women
Sick o' swimmin'
Ready to stand
I'm 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 the shore above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Lookin' around here you'd think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs?
I got twenty
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
I wanna see
Wanna see 'em dancin'
Walkin' around on those
Whad'ya call 'em? oh - feet
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strollin' along down a
What's that word again? street
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free
Wish I could be
Part of that world
If I could live
Outta these waters?
What would I pay
To spend a day
Warm on the sand?
They understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women
Sick o' swimmin'
Ready to stand
Ask 'em my questions
And get some answers
What's a fire and why does it
(What's the word?) burn?
Wouldn't I love
Love to explore the shore above?
Wish I could be
Part of that world

I love this song so *** much! A simple song about freedom.
call me crazy but this song reminds me of "waiting for life" from the musical Once on This Island...i happen to love both of the songs and think that the theme in both the songs is similar...does anybody else see/hear this or am i just crazy?
this song is beautiful....its about independance and freedom and i relate to it totally wink
THIS SONG IS FROM THE LITTLE MERMAID!!!!!!!!gawd
other than that, i had this song stuck in my head for 40 or so years, now, i finally know what it is from...
One word: classic.
i love this song...its gives me the spritual chills
A song about a girl who has everything, except the one thing that she truly wants - to feel human, to belong. When Jodi Benson sings, "Wouldn't I love, love to explore that shore up above" I get, as xsteadyx so eloquently put it, the spiritual chills.
I'm surprised there are so few comment about this one. This is probably the song I relate to the most; yes, out of every song ever written. (Funny how it's from a Disney movie then!)
bootiful!
My favorite song in the movie. That and the reprise.
