SORRY, YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT
(Jerome / Barnes)


The Stargazers - 1957





(Guards, attention!)
(By the right, quick march!)

The Guards were marching on parade
When one of them leaned against the wall
And what a fuss the Colonel made
He showed he wasn't pleased at all

(That man there!)

The Colonel got in such a state
Why wouldn't the soldier take the hint
He shouted, "I'm sorry, you'll have to wait,
I'm finishin' me
Murraymints, Murraymints, too good to hurry mints
Why make haste when you can taste
The hint of mint in Murraymints
Murraymints, Murraymints, too good to hurry mints"

(Help! Help!)

Some indian braves had caught a maid
They tied her to a totem pole
Although she yelled and yelled for aid
The cowboy didn't care at all

(Help! Help!)

It seemed he'd left her to her fate
And then with a voice as hard as flint
He told her, "Soory, girl, you'll have to wait
I'm finishin' mah
Murraymints, Murraymints, too good to hurry mints
Why make haste when you can taste
The hint of mint in Murraymints
Murraymints, Murraymints, too good to hurry mints"

(Ole!")

They love to fight the bull in Spain
The matador there is like a king
One day the bull looked round in pain
The matador had left the ring

(Mmmmmmmmmm)

The bull caught sight of him by the gate
And galloped across at a tearing sprint
The matador said, "Sorry, Fernando, you'll have to wait
I'm finishin' my
Murraymints, Murraymints, too good to hurry mints
Why make haste when you can taste
The hint of mint in Murraymints
Murraymints, Murraymints, too good to hurry mints"
