Little Mermaid Lyric Mystery

Chebbles and I like to sing "Part of Your World" a lot. If you were in our house, you'd say it was more than "a lot" and you'd probably call it highly excessive before you ran from our mermaid-filled house screaming.

But here is the strange thing -- some of the lyrics are mysterious, and no one can give me a straight story about them.

This is refrain in question:

"Bet'cha on land they understand
That they don't reprimand their daughters
(MYSTERY WORDS) women sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand."

Disney says those lyrics are "Strong young women" but it really doesn't sound like that's what Ariel is singing. We listen to that song approximately three times a day in our home, and I'm always vexed when we get to this lyric.

Many lyrics sites claim it's "Bright young women" and another one claims "Proper women."

What the heck? Why would Disney say the lyrics were one thing, when in fact they are another? And I'm sure it's not "Strong young women" so... what IS IT?
