Toby Fox
The Shopkeeper’s Song
[SNOWDIN SHOPKEEPER]
(Spoken)
Well, hello, traveler. How can I help you?

(Sung)
I've gotta say
I haven't seen a fresh face
If you're a tourist
Why'd you come to this place

Well, like the monster long ago
Who came this way
Most of us here in Snowdin
Live day by day

[GERSON]
Wa ha ha! Hey
I guess that's life, oh well
So now I've got some junk to sell

[BOTH]
And if we don't have what you're looking for, then
You just aren't/ain't looking, we can tell

[BURGERPANTS]
Buy some stuff!
[SNOWDIN SHOPKEEPER]
(Spoken)
Burgerpants, hun, that's not the way you attract customers

[BURGERPANTS]
(Spoken)
It's the way I'm legally required to!

(Sung)
Come on, this way
Have a fabu-ful day
I live to serve

(Spoken)
I can't talk anymore unless you buy something!

(Sung)
Sparkle up your day
The Mettaton way

[SNOWDIN SHOPKEEPER]
(Spoken)
Wasn't that the last rhyme

[BURGERPANTS]
(Sung)
I'm trying, okay!
Well here's the facts
I want to act
But I'm just nineteen
And here's the thing

I've lost control of my entire life
Lost love and dignity

[GERSON]
That's life

[BURGERPANTS]
(Spoken)
You can't rhyme life with life!

(Sung)
This failure what I'll always be
Take it from me

[SNOWDIN SHOPKEEPER]
(Spoken)
I think we're getting a bit off-track...

[GERSON]
(Spoken)
Right! Sellin' junk!
(Sung)
I've been around the block
A mighty long time

[BURGERPANTS]
And in that time
You never learn how to rhyme

[GERSON]
(Spoken)
Hey!

(Sung)
Watch your tongue, son
We're under a Delta Rune

[SNOWDIN SHOPKEEPER]
Can't we stop fighting
And just sing to the tune?

Some say an angel
Will descend to the streets

[GERSON]
I'm just a shopkeeper
I think it looks neat

[GERSON and SNOWDIN SHOPKEEPER]
Still, we keep working
Praising King Fluffybuns

[BURGERPANTS]
You gonna explain that name?

[GERSON]
Ah, patience, son

[GERSON and SNOWDIN SHOPKEEPER]
Whether you live as a merchant or hero
You'll live until you see the sun

[BURGERPANTS]
Buy some stuff!

So, now you know
You shouldn't live like me
Working with Mettaton
Is one nightmare of a dream
Knowing the future will not come
Under Mettaton's thumb

[SNOWDIN SHOPKEEPER]
(Spoken)
It can't be that bad

[BURGERPANTS]
(Spoken)
Oh, can't it?

(Sung)
He wants things down here
"Like the humans do!"
So I fill burgers
With sequins and glue

{SNOWDIN SHOPKEEPER]
(Spoken)
Oh my god...

[BURGERPANTS]
God! Have you even looked around?
It sucks underground!

[GERSON]
(Spoken)
Now, hold on there, sonny!

(Sung)
When Asgore gets the soul
We'll see open air

[ALL]
A brand new world
A second chance out there

[SNOWDIN SHOPKEEPER]
And though we'll leave behind
The world that we've known

[ALL]
Up is the only way
That we'll have to go

[BURGERPANTS]
I'd like to think I'm helping us get free

[GERSON]
(He he he!)

[ALL]
We don't know, but we all believe

[BURGERPANTS]
But if there's one thing
I learned flippin' burgers
It's that nothing will come for free

[ALL]
So buy some stuff!

[GERSON]
(Spoken)
C'mon in, sonny! I've got junk for sale!

[SNOWDIN SHOPKEEPER]
(Spoken)
I've got cheaper junk!

[BURGERPANTS]
(Spoken)
I've got burgers! They're basically junk!

[ALL]
The market gets real
Let's wheel and deal
The price is right
Spend money tonight

Come on in
Give me a try
There is nothing you can't buy

Bolster the
Economy
But no refunds
Just policy

Buy some food
So you can wine and dine
Buy some clothes
And then you're lookin' fine

We've got all that and so much more
Come to the store

Everything here is such prime quality
So, you can't sell your goods here
Unfortunately
There is nothing that you can't buy
Give us a try

[SNOWDIN SHOPKEEPER]
(Spoken)
Good talk?

[GERSON]
(Spoken)
Good talk!

[BURGERPANTS]
(Spoken)
Good talk

[SNOWDIN SHOPKEEPER]
(Spoken)
Well, guess we'd better get back to work

[GERSON]
(Spoken)
Yep! This junk ain't gonna sell itself!

[BURGERPANTS]
(Spoken)
Yeah...and Mettaton hates it when I take breaks
