"Gonna Get My Wish" is a deleted song that was meant to be sung by Morgana and Undertow about how Morgana was going to steal the trident and takes over Atlantica and to grant her mother's wish. It appears in the deleted scene area on The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea - Special Edition.
Lyrics[]
Morgana: (spoken) I shall grant her wish and she'll grant me mine.
Wheels within wheels
Loops within loops
Gathering forces to make my final..
Oops!
Melody, darling, you are the key
To unlock the lock that holds my destiny
This piece of the puzzle just fell into place
From my final coup, Triton falls on his face
Morgana: Gonna get my wish tonight
Undertow: (spoken) Whoa, that's kind of scary!
Morgana: Wish tonight
Undertow: (spoken) I hope it's temporarily.
Morgana: Wish tonight I'm gonna take
Undertow: (spoken) or lose...
Both: Control
Morgana: I'm gonna get my wish tonight
Undertow: (spoken) Oh, yeah! You gonna get it!
Morgana: A wish tonight
Undertow: (spoken) Oh, I hope I don't regret it.
Both: Tonight's the night we're gonna let the bad times roll
Undertow: (being rolled by Morgana) Whoooooooooooa!!!
Morgana: Oh mommy, dearest, you'd be impressed
Morgana, your baby, no longer is second best
Ursula, sweetie, you blew it and I'll
I'll steal the trident and seal with an ow
Move over, merfolk!
Get out of my way
I'm carpe-ing my diem
I'm seizing my day
Undertow: Haha! Gonna get your wish tonight
Morgana: I deserve the power
Undertow: Wish tonight
Morgana: It'll be my finest hour
Undertow: Wish tonight
Morgana They'll cringe and crawl as I demand
Undertow: Yay! Gonna get your wish tonight
Morgana: There's so much to think about
Undertow: Wish tonight
Morgana: Spread some ink about
Both: Tonight's the night, I'm gonna make my final stand
Undertow: That's right, that's right!
Both: Tonight's the night the sea will be in my (your) command...
Tonight's the night!
Trivia[]
- While the song was deleted from the film, the song itself had an interesting history as it resulted in the role of Morgana being recast in a similar way to how the original film had difficulties with Elaine Stritch when she had trouble recording "Poor Unfortunate Souls" that resulted in her firing from the role of Ursula. The role of Morgana was originally cast with Anne Bancroft but she had difficulties in recording the song among other undisclosed reasons and was ultimately replaced in the role altogether with Pat Carroll.[1]
