The Ballad Of Farquaad
Lyricist:David Lindsay-abaire, Jeanine Tesori
My daddy was a miner So he wasn't much around Foraging for diamonds A life spent underground
Daddy didn't talk much He barely said hello He'd simply mutter, 'Heigh, ho' And off to work he'd go Daddy was grumpy
My momma was a princess Who left her crown behind Daddy was her true love So momma didn't mind
I never knew my momma But she could've been a queen She married way beneath her Beneath her knee, I mean
Oh, daddy's bed was lumpy So mommy couldn't sleep Daddy built a new one So tall and so steep
Twenty five mattresses she slept upon One night she rolled over And momma was gone So daddy was grumpy
Me and my old man A tale as old as dirt A bitter distant father In a tiny undershirt
Daddy up and left me Left me good as dead Now he lives in squalor Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Sleeping seven to a bed
Oh, if you could only see me now Daddy, I'd invite you to the wedding But you have to be this tall to get in
My bride-to-be is gorgeous Her wedding dress, designer The guest list will be major Without a minor miner
Packs of royal lackeys Playing violin Strings of royal underlings Who will not let you in Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Tricked out carriage, twenty stallions With a coachman named Raoul Big reception with a boy band And a royal DJ by the pool
Yes, I can see my future And so it shall be done It's total domination With some torture just for fun
'Cause I will have my wedding And I will have a queen And once I get that crown on You will get the guillotine
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, heigh, ho
