It’s Gonna Be a While Lyrics
Sunfish Merguy: I’m sure you all didn’t come
all this way down to Merfolk Town
Just to sit and watch the sun go down
Now, did you?
Horse: No. We’re here to see the Shaman--
Sunfish Merguy: I’ll just stop you there
You see, I’ve heard this all before
Everybody wants the same thing
When they come down to the shore
Horse: No, I’m sorry
There’s no time, you see
I’ve been here in this world too long
Look, I’ve become a different thing
I can’t stop to sing another song
Wammawink: Sorry.
You’ll have to excuse my friend.
She gets a little emotional sometimes.
Did you say your name was…
Sunfish Merguy: Sunfish Merguy.
Wammawink: Sunfish Merguy. Oh.
Sunfish Merguy: Well, it’s not my real name.
My real name is…
But that’s a little hard to pronounce,
So I just go by Sunfish Merguy.
Wammawink: Oh, well, my name’s Wimmawink.
Pleased to meet you--
Durpleton: All right! Clear out!
Wammawink: Durpleton!
Durpleton: What?
Nobody cares about your name, Wammawink.
Did you hear this guy?
He said he’s got games!
Sunfish Merguy: Oh yeah. That’s right.
I got a lot of games.
Durpleton: Oh yeah? Like what?
Sunfish Merguy: Well, I got whack-a-mole, ring toss
Throw a ball, dunk a clown
You can play any game
Don’t sit around
Milk bottle, duck pond
Throw darts at balloons
Get your face drawn
Stack prizes to the moon
If you’ve come to see the Shaman
You might be waiting quite some time (Could be a while)
Lucky you, at Sunfish Merguy’s
You’ll never wait in any lines
Sunfish Merguy: ‘Cause there’s no one here
Rope ladder, skeet shoot
Throw a coin into a boot
Pet a dolphin, have a hot dog
Shoot a basket, win loot
Another hot dog, soda fountain
Pirate patch, gold doubloons
Eat lots of cotton candy
Save some room!
If you’ve come to see the Shaman
You might be waiting quite some time
Lucky you, at Sunfish Merguy’s
You’ll never wait in any lines
Sunfish Merguy: ‘Cause there’s no one here!
There’s so many games for you to play
While waiting at the bay
So do what you want to do
Horse: I wanna see the Shaman.
Sunfish Merguy: Anything but that
I mean
There’s technically a possibility
Your herd will get to see
The Shaman visit us today right here
Down on the isle
My guess?
It’s gonna be a while
