Broadway production (2008) 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
