This one's a doozy, folks. I've been waiting for this game for years and it did not disappoint. A solid week of nothing but jazz and Cuphead gave birth to what may quite possibly be my best swing piece yet.
lyrics
Cuphead:
I'm Cuphead!
Mugman:
And I'm Mugman!
Both:
Brothers in Drinkery!
Cuphead:
Welcome to our home on inkwell isle
A cozy little spot, come and stay awhile
Mugman:
There's a cornucopia of wonders here
Potatoes with eyes and mouths and ears
Mugman:
Take a lovely stroll among the flowers
Calm your soul and while away the hours
Cuphead:
If ya need a pick-me-up, go ahead and pick me up
Take a sip, it's a pip, for as ya know I am a cup
Both:
So, good chum, if you've had your fill
We've got a little pickle. Can you help? Ya will?!
We made a little gamble, lost a bet, and we can't handle it alone
We gotta visit ev'rybody on the isle in order to atone
We'll lose our heads if we proceed and fail...
Mugman:
Plus, They want us dead!
Cuphead:
'Cos the devil's in the details
Both:
Devil's in the details
Devil's in the details
Cuphead:
But worry not! We've got magical wonderskills! Just a snap of the fingers...or a few hundred...and they'll be pushin' up daisies!
Mugman:
Or maybe the daises'll be pushin' us...
Mugman:
Buy the chaser shot, I'm feelin' lazy
Punch the Cuckoo Clock and go Plane Crazy
Cuphead:
There's a cornucopia of things to shoot
Frogs and Logs and Blobs of goop!
Cuphead:
I've got a bone to pick with this conductor
All these parry-blocks are really messin' me up
Mugman:
Or could it be that you're a-slackin', In response ya start a-tackin' dark souls to the brain yer' wrackin, but, in truth your skills are lackin'...
Cuphead:
What?
Mugman:
Heh, Sorry. Lil' humor there for the folks at home.
Cuphead:
Right...
Both:
Pickin' up contracts as we go
What a jolly brawl, what a merry show!
Runnin', jumpin', shootin' and occasionally lootin' all these fiends
Don't forget they earned their ruin, did a deal like us pursuin' green...
We'll make it right and fight 'til we prevail...
Cuphead: But it's one hell of a fight...
Mugman:
Cos the devil's in the details
Mugman:
The devil's in the details
Cuphead:
Devil's in the details
Both:
Devil's in the details
Devil's in the details
Cuphead:
We'd love to just go home to elder kettle
Mugman:
That sounds nice...
Cuphead:
But our souls hang in the balance, so no dice!
Mugman: No dice!
Cuphead:
This job's our bail
Mugman:
This job's our bail
Both:
And we've got the prince of darkness on our trail
Mugman:
Cuz' the devil's in the details!
Both:
Devil's in the details!
Devil's in the detaaaaaails!
