Shrek The Musical Cast - 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 the perfect place.

Please keep off of the grass.
Shine your shoes, wipe your�face.
Duloc is, Duloc is, Duloc is the perfect place!

[Performer]
And here�s the man who made it happen!
That towering colossus of moxie!
Loooooooooord Farquaad!

(Lord Farquaad appears on a central balcony a la Evita. Turns around and feigns surprise.)

[Lord Farquaad]
Oh it�s you! What a terrific surprise.
(Sung)
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]
Ahhhh�

[Farquaad]
Thanks to my new dress code,
the fashion�s never clashing.

[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]

[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�
