“What’s Up Duloc?” is the fifth song on the original cast recording of Shrek: The Musical. It introduces the audience to the town of Duloc and its ruler, Lord Farquaad. Duloc appears to be a perfect town, but in the song the audience learns that Farquaad has ruthlessly gotten rid of all of the “frea...
[Duloc Dancers]
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
[Duloc Dancer]
And here's the man who made it happen
That towering colossus of moxie
Lord Farquaad
[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
[Duloc Dancers]
Just take a look
[Lord Farquaad]
The things I'm cooking up here in Duloc
[Duloc Dancers]
He likes to cook
[Lord Farquaad]
A model that amazes
A plan with seven phases
[Duloc Dancers]
Bum bum bum bum bum
[Lord Farquaad]
Things are looking up here in Duloc
[Duloc Dancers]
They're looking up
[Lord Farquaad]
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 with a postcard
A monorail and gift shops
And so
[Duloc Dancers]
And so
[Lord Farquaad]
And so
[Duloc Dancers]
And so
[Lord Farquaad]
And so
No one from the gutter in Duloc
[Duloc Dancers]
He's takin' aim
[Lord Farquaad]
Embrace the cookie cutter in Duloc
[Duloc Dancers]
We're all the same
[Lord Farquaad]
The upshot is enormous
When you can shout
[Duloc Dancers]
Conform us
[Lord Farquaad]
Yes
Things are looking up (Things are looking up)
Here in Duloc
(spoken)
Hey, let's hear it for those Duloc dancers
Aren't they terrific?
(sung)
There's no sign of slowing
We're growing, we're growing
[Duloc Dancers]
Look, he's growing
And growing
And growing
Look at him grow
[Lord Farquaad]
Things are looking up here
[Duloc Dancers]
We practiced this part both forward and back
We make one mistake, and we get the rack
[Lord Farquaad]
Things
Are looking up here
[Duloc Dancers]
He taught us to dance with razzamatazz
He's trained in ballet, flamenco and jazz
[Lord Farquaad]
My hard work and my rigor have made me so much bigger
Things are looking up
[Duloc Dancers]
Things are looking uo
[Lord Farquaad]
Things are looking up
Here in Duloc
[Duloc Dancers]
Ah-ah-ah-ah
[Lord Farquaad]
Here in Duloc
[Duloc Dancers]
Ah-ah-ah-ah
