About Part of Your World

"Part of Your World" is a song written by lyricist Howard Ashman and composer Alan Menken for Disney's animated feature film The Little Mermaid (1989). Performed by American actress and singer Jodi Benson in the titular role as Ariel, a mermaid princess, "Part of Your World" is a power ballad in which the main character expresses her strong desire to become human; its lyrics use placeholder names in lieu of several human-related terms that would be unfamiliar to a mermaid. The film's theme song, "Part of Your World" is reprised by Ariel after she rescues Eric, a human prince with whom she has fallen in love, from drowning. Directly influenced by Broadway and musical theatre, Ashman strongly believed that The Little Mermaid would benefit from an "I Want" song – a musical number during which the main character sings about what they hope to accomplish by the end of their story. Directors Ron Clements and John Musker originally asked Ashman to write a song for Ariel in which she expresses her romantic feelings for Prince Eric, but the lyricist felt that a song that details the character's fascination with the human world would better serve the film's plot. Ashman recruited Benson, with whom he had previously collaborated on the stage musical Smile (1986), to record "Part of Your World", and worked closely with her to ensure that she delivered a desirable performance. Disney executive Jeffrey Katzenberg initially ordered that "Part of Your World" be removed from the final film due to concerns that the ballad would bore young children. However, Ashman, Clements, Musker and animator Glen Keane ultimately convinced Katzenberg that "Part of Your World" is essential to the film's narrative, and the song was spared after audiences appeared to enjoy it during a subsequent test screening. more »

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 whooz-its and whatz-its galore You want thingamabobs? I got twenty But who cares? No big deal I want more  I want to be where the people are I want to see want to see 'em dancing Walking around on those Whadd'ya call 'em? oh- feet Flipping your fins you don't get too far Legs are required for jumping, dancing Strolling 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 Wandering free Wish I could be Part of that world  What would I give If I could live Out of these waters? What would I pay To spend a day Warm on the sand? Betcha on land They understand That they don't reprimand their daughters Bright young women Sick of swimming 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?  When's it my turn? Wouldn't I love Love to explore that shore above? Out of the sea Wish I could be Part of that world
