Shrek the Musical - What's Up, Duloc? Lyrics
PERFORMERS:
Welcome to Duloc,
Such a perfect town.
Here we have some rules,
Let us lay them down.
Don’t make waves, stay in line,
And we’ll get along fine.
Duloc is a perfect place.
Please keep off the grass
Shine your shoes, wipe your…face.
Duloc is, Duloc is, Duloc is a perfect place.
PERFORMERS:
And here’s the man who made it happen!
That towering colossus of moxie!
Looooooooord Farquaad!
(Lord Farquaad appears on a central balcony a la Evita.
Turns around and feigns surprise.)
FARQUAAD:
Oh, it’s you! What a terrific surprise.
(sings)
Once upon a time
This place was infested.
Freaks on every corner-
I had them all arrested
Hey nonny-nonny-nonny-no
If you had a quirk, you didn’t pass inspection.
We all have our standards,
But I will have perfection.
And sooooo…
And sooooo…
Things are looking up here in Duloc.
PERFORMERS:
Just take a look!
FARQUAAD:
The things I’m cooking up here in Duloc.
PERFORMERS:
He likes to cook!
FARQUAAD:
A model that amazes.
A plan with seven phases.
PERFORMERS:
Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum
FARQUAAD:
Things are looking up here in Duloc
PERFORMERS:
They’re looking up!
FARQUAAD:
In Duloc!
The ladies all look swell.
PERFORMERS:
Ahhhh…
FARQUAAD:
The men are so dashing.
PERFORMERS:
Ahhh…
FARQUAAD:
Thanks to my new dress code,
the fashion’s never clasing.
PERFORMERS:
The fashion’s never clashing.
FARQUAAD:
Hey nonny-nonny-nonny-no.
This castle I had built
PERFORMERS:
Farquaad…Farquaad…Farquaad
FARQUAAD:
Is taller than the cliff-tops.
PERFORMERS:
Farquaad…Farquaad…Farquaad
FARQUAAD:
A city like a postcard-
PERFORMERS:
Farquaad…Farquaad…Farquaad
FARQUAAD:
A monorail and gift shops!
And so…
PERFORMERS:
And so…
FARQUAAD:
And so…
PERFORMERS:
And so…
FARQUAAD:
And so…
No one from the gutter in Duloc.
PERFORMERS:
He’s takin’ aim!
FARQUAAD:
Embrace the cookie cutter in Duloc.
PERFORMERS:
We’re all the same!
FARQUAAD:
The upshot is enormous
When you can shout…
PERFORMERS:
“Conform us!”
FARQUAAD:
Yes! Things … are…
PERFORMERS:
Things are looking up…
FARQUAAD:
Looking…
PERFORMERS:
Things are looking up…
FARQUAAD:
Uuuuup…
PERFORMERS:
Things are looking up…
FARQUAAD:
Here in Duloc.
Hey, let’s hear it for those Duloc dancers!
Aren’t they terrific?!
(Big and ridiculous dance-break.)
FARQUAAD:
There’s no sign of slowing!
We’re growing! We’re growing!
PERFORMERS:
Look, he’s growing!
And growing!
And growing!
Look at him groooow!
FARQUAAD:
Things! Are looking up here-
PERFORMERS:
We practiced this part both forward and back.
We make one mistake, and we get the rack!
FARQUAAD:
Things! I’m cooking up here-
PERFORMERS:
He taught us to dance with razzamatazz!
He’s trained in ballet, flamenco and jazz!
FARQUAAD:
My hard work, and my rigor,
Have made me so much bigger!
Things are looking uuuuup…
PERFORMERS:
Things are looking uuuuup…
FARQUAAD:
Things are looking uuuuup…
Here in Duloc!
PERFORMERS:
Ah-ah-ah-ah!
FARQUAAD:
Here in Duloc!
PERFORMERS:
Ah-ah-ah-ah!
Up…up…
Up…up…
Uuuuuuuuup!
