And a man”
[Verse 1]
Shelly led them forward, graceful through the glowing hall
The King sat on his throne, ancient, proud, and tall
She bowed beside him, a daughter’s place of pride
“Father, these are the travelers from the world outside”
King Poshaydom leaned forward, eyes bright with fascination
“I have 23 followers on my social media station!
I was about to get my 24th — then everything went down
WHY?? Tell me please — where did all my likes go now?”
[Pre-Chorus]
Timo stood confused, not good with tech at all
Kai bowed politely, “Honorable King, we do not know that call”
[Chorus — whimsical]
The King and His Followers
Ruling deep beneath the blue
The King and His Followers
With questions old and new
He loves his machines, his likes, his royal feed
But now the world above… is changing at high speed
[Verse 2]
Toes offered toast, “Would you like some, Your Majesty?”
The King waved it off, still stuck on his lost popularity
Teemo popped a blue banana he brought from Vendo, trying to be kind
The King stared at it, fascination in his mind
Eventually he calmed, looking closely at Timo
“I see an incomplete core… trying to find the truth below
You remind me of the previous one — overconfident and bold
I told him that woman was trouble — but he rushed, young and uncontrolled”
[Pre-Chorus 2]
“They ate the apple… advanced the hand off too soon
Now you two must do it right… or face the same doom”
[Chorus — whimsical]
The King and His Followers
Ruling deep beneath the blue
The King and His Followers
With questions old and new
He loves his machines, his likes, his royal feed
But now the world above… is changing at high speed
[Bridge — serious but kind]
“I will give you access to all gates, stay as long as you need
Discover Waterland, let your hearts and minds be freed
But remember… do it right this time, you two
The fate of cycles rests… on what you choose to do”
[Yukelele Solo]
[Coda]
I know this story I was told about this I remember
About a man and a woman in a garden beautiful
About a serpent and an apple and the temptation
And how it lead to all this, how this place existed
I thought they were stories but I think now they are more
I think I should stay for a while, and learn more
[Key lift][Note lift]
[Chorus — whimsical]
The King and His Followers
Ruling deep beneath the blue
The King and His Followers
With questions old and new
He loves his machines, his likes, his royal feed
But now the world above… is changing at high speed
[Chorus — whimsical]
The King and His Followers
Giving me permission to go along
The King and His Followers
But I think we should stay and find out more
A place where truth and mysteries exist
Waterland - let me hear your stories, help me understand
[Outro — hopeful]
The King smiled softly, eyes twinkling with ancient light
“Welcome to Waterland… stay and learn all you like.”
Scary Shelly
[Underwater town tour sounds + bubbly water]
“Yes!
Father made the right call -
Now I get a whole day with him
Teemo
