Kiss the Girl

"Kiss the Girl" is a song from the Disney animated film The Little Mermaid. It was composed by Alan Menken and the lyrics were written by Howard Ashman. In the movie, Samuel E. Wright performs it. The song was nominated Academy Award for Best Song with the song Under the Sea.

Midway through the film, Ariel has already been turned into a human by Ursula, but she can no longer speak. If Ariel can't get her true love, Eric, to kiss her before her three days have passed, she will turn back into a mermaid and belong to Ursula. Sebastian, Flounder, and Scuttle try to get Eric to kiss Ariel so that she can be a human permanently, while the two sit in a rowboat in a lagoon. Sebastian makes the suggestion that Eric does want to kiss Ariel but he is too shy to do so, and that he should go ahead and "kiss the girl" to see if she likes him too.

Lyrics
There you see her Sitting there across the way She don't got a lot to say but there's something about her And you don't know why But you're dying to try you wanna kiss the girl

Yes, you want her Look at her, you know you do Possible she want you too There is one way to ask her It don't take a word Not a single word Go on and kiss the girl (sing with me, now.)

Sha-la-la-la-la-la My, oh, my! Look like the boy too shy He ain't gonna kiss the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la Ain't that sad? ''Ain't it a shame? Too bad'' He gonna miss the girl

(Instrumental Bridge)

Now's your moment Floating in the blue lagoon Boy, you better do it soon No time will be better (Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya) She don't say a word And she won't say a word Until ya kiss the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la Don't be scared (sha-la-la-la-la-la) You got the mood prepared Go on and kiss the girl (whoa, whoa)

Sha-la-la-la-la-la Don't stop now Don't try to hide it how You wanna kiss the girl (whoa, whoa)

Sha-la-la-la-la-la Float along And listen to the song (WA WA WA WA LAAAA!!) Song say kiss the girl (whoa, whoa)

Sha-la-la-la-la-la Music play So what the music say You gotta kiss the girl

Kiss the girl
