Shrek The Musical Cast - The Ballad of Farquaad Lyrics

Lord Farquaad:
My daddy was a miner
So he wasn't much around
Forging for diamonds
A life spent underground

Daddy didn't talk much
He barely said "hello"
He simply muttered "hi ho"
And off to work he'd go

Daddy was grumpy!

My mama was a princess
Who left her crown behind
Daddy was her true love, so
Mama didn't mind

I never knew my mama
But she could have been a Queen!
She married way beneath her
Beneath her knee I mean, oh!

Daddy's bed was lumpy
So mommy couldn't sleep
Daddy built a new one
So tall and so steep

Twenty five mattresses she slept upon
One night she rolled over...
And mama was gone!
So daddy was grumpy!

(spoken)
Me and my old man
(sung)
A tale as old as dirt!
A bitter, distant father
In a tiny undershirt

Daddy up and left me
Left me good as dead
Now he lives in squalor
Sleeping seven to a bed...

(spoken)
Oh, if you could only see me now, daddy
I'd invite you to the wedding but you have to be this tall to get in!
Haha!

(sung)
My bride-to-be is goregous
Her wedding dress designer!
The guest list will be major
With out a minor miner!

Guards:
Fa la la la la la

Lord Farquaad:
Packs of royal claque playing violin

Guards:
strings of royal underlings

Lord Farquaad:
Who will not let you in!
Aha! Aha! Aha!
Tricked out carrige!

Guards:
Tricked out carrige!

Lord Farquaad:
(spoken)
With twenty stallions!

Guards:
Twenty Stallions

Lord Farquaad:
(sung)
With a coachman named Raul

Guards:
Raul!

Lord Farquaad:
(spoken)
Big Receptions!

Guards:
Big Receptions!

Lord Farquaad:
With a boy band!

Guards:
With a boy band!

Lord Farquaad:
(sung)
And a royal DJ by the pool!
yes!

I can see my future
(spoken)
And so it shall be done!
(sung)
It's total domination
(spoken)
with some torture just for fun, hmm, hmm.

(sung)
'Cause I will have my wedding
And I will have a Queen!
Once I get that crown on
You will get the guillotine!

And I'll punish you daddy
'Cause I'm all grown up!
And bigger than you'll ever know!
You're gonna pay, daddy!

It's any day, daddy!
I'm off to work
Hi ho!
