The Ballad Of Farquaad - Christopher Sieber

作词：David Lindsay-Abaire

作曲：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

Sleepin' 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

Tra-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 ha ha

Tricked out carriage

Tricked out carriage

Twenty stallions

Twenty stallions

With a coachman

With a coachman named Roul

Big reception

Big reception

With a boy band

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

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
