What's Up, Duloc?

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 a perfect place

And here's the man who made it happen
That towering colossus of moxie
Lord Farquaad

Oh, it's you, what a terrific surprise
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 so
And so

Things are looking up here in Duloc
(Just take a look)
The things I'm cooking up here in Duloc
(He likes to cook)
A model that amazes
A plan with seven phases
(Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum)

Things are looking up here in Duloc
(They're looking up)
In Duloc
The ladies all look swell
(Ah)
The men are so dashing
(Ah)
Thanks to my new dress code
The fashion's never clashing

Hey, nonny-nonny-nonny-no
This castle I have built (Farquaad, Farquaad, Farquaad)
Is taller than the cliff tops (Farquaad, Farquaad, Farquaad)
A city like a postcard (Farquaad, Farquaad, Farquaad)
A monorail and gift shops

And so
(And so)
And so
(And so)
And so

No one from the gutter in Duloc
(He's taking aim)
Embrace the cookie cutter in Duloc
(We're all the same)
The upshot is enormous
When you can shout
(Conform us)

Yes, things are
(Things are looking up)
(Things are looking up)
Looking up
Here in Duloc
Hey, let's hear it for those Duloc dancers
Aren't they terrific?

Ha, huh, yeah, huh-huh
Pow, grrr
Come on
Heh, hah, ha-ha, grrr
Boys?
Ha-ha-ha-ha

There's no sign of slowing
We're growing, we're growing
(Look, he's growing)
(And growing)
(And growing)
(Look at him grow)

Things are looking up here
(We practiced this part both forward and back)
(We make one mistake, and we get the rack)
Things I'm cooking up here
(He taught us to dance with razzmatazz)
(He's trained in ballet, flamenco and jazz)

My hard work, and my rigor
Have made me so much bigger
Things are looking up
(Things are looking up)
Things are looking up
Here in Duloc
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Here in Duloc
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Up, up
Up, up
Up
