"Part of
Your World" is a song written by composer Alan Menken and
lyricist Howard Ashman for Walt Disney Picture's twenty-eighth
animated feature film The Little Mermaid (1989). Originally recorded by
American actress and singer Jodi Benson in her film role as Ariel,
"Part of Your World" is a Broadway musical-style ballad in which the
film's heroine expresses her dreams of becoming human and part of the human
world. It serves as the film's theme song. "Part of Your World" has
been mostly very positively received by critics, who praised both Ashman and
Menken's songwriting abilities and Benson's vocal performance. Despite being
the film's theme song and lauded by critics, "Part of Your World" did
not receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song.
Lyrics:
Look at this stuff, isn't it neat,
Wouldn't you think my collections 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 got gadgets and gismos aplenty, I got whosits and wotsits galore,
(Spoken) You want thingamabobs? I got twenty,
(Sung) 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 (what dya call 'em) oh feet.
Flippin' your fins you don't get too far,
Legs are required for jumpin' dancin',
Strollin' along down the (what's that word again) street.
(Chorus)
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, outa these waters?
What would I pay, to spend a day warm on the sand?
Betya on land, they understand, bet they don't reprimand their daughters,
Bright young women, sick of swimmin', ready to stand.
And 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.
Whens it my turn? wouldn't I love, love to explore that shore up above,
Out of the sea, wish I could be, part of that world.
