Song Lyrics

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

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
The men are so dashing
Thanks to my new dress code
The fashion's never clashing

Hey nonny-nonny-nonny-no
This castle I had built
Is taller than the clifftops
A city like a postcard
A monorail and gift shop
And so

And so

And so

And so

And so
No one from the gutter in Duloc

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

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
Are looking 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
