Original Cast Recording The Ballad Of Farquaad lyrics

My daddy was a minor
So he wasn't much around
Foraging for diamonds
A life spent underground

Daddy didn't talk much
He barely said hello
He simply muttered "Hi-Ho"
and off to work he'd go

Daddy was grumpy

My Mama was a princess
Who left her crown behind
Daddy was her true love
So mama didn't mind

I never knew my mama
But she coulda been a queen!
She married way beneath her
Beneath her knee I mean

Daddy's bed was lumpy
So mommy couldn't sleep
Daddy built a new one
So tall and so steep

25 mattresses she slept upon
and one night she rolled over

And mama was gone
So daddy was grumpy!

Me and my old man
A tale as old as time!
The bitter distant father
In a tiny undershirt

Daddy up and left me
Left me good as dead
Now he lives in squalor
sleepin' seven to a bed

"Oh if you could only see me now, daddy!
I'd invite you to the wedding but you'd have to be this tall to get in!"

*laughing*


My bride to be is gorgeous
her wedding dress designer
the guest list will major with out a minor miner!

Fa la la la la la la la la la la la la!

Packs of royal lackeys
playing violin
Strings of royal underlings
who will not let you in!

Ha ha ha ha aha tricked out carriage
(a tricked out carriage)
Twenty stallions
(Twenty stallions)
With a coach man named Raoul
(With a coach man named Raoul)

Big reception
(big reception)
With a boy band
(With a boy band)
And a royal DJ by the poooooool

Yes, I can see my future
And so it shall be done
It's total domination
With some torture just for fun

'Cuase I will have my wedding
And I will have a queen!
Once I get that crown on
you will get the deity

"And I'll punish you daddy
cause I'm all grown up
And bigger than you'll ever know"

You're gonna pay, Daddy
It's any day, Daddy
I'm off to work
Hi-Hoooo
