Lyrics

Don't Deal With the Devil

Well, Cuphead and his pal Mugman,
They like to roll the dice.
By chance they came 'pon devil's game,
and gosh they paid the price (paid the price!)

And now they're fighting for their lives,
on a mission fraught with dread.
and if they proceed, but don't succeed,
Weeell... the devil will take their heads!

Die House

I'm Mister King Dice,
I'm the gamest in the land,
I never play nice,
I'm the Devil's right hand man.

I can't let you pass,
cause you ain't done everything,
bring me those contracts,
come on, bring 'em to the king.

If you haven't finished your task,
haven't worked assiduously,
no, I cannot let you pass,
don't you mess with me!

Don't mess with King Dice!
(Don't mess with King Dice!)
Don't mess with me!
(Don't mess with him!)
Don't mess with King Dice!
(Don't Mess with King Dice!)
Don't mess with me!

I'm Mister King Dice,
heed just what I say,
the Devil has his price,
and I'll make sure you pay.

I don't have time to mess 'round,
and I hope you will agree,
bring me those contracts, Pronto!
Don't you mess with me!

Don't mess with King Dice!
(Don't mess with King Dice!)
Don't mess with me!
(Don't mess with him!)
Don't mess with King Dice!
(Don't Mess with King Dice!)
Don't mess with meee yeah!

A Quick Break

It's nice to rest your eyes and maybe go outside,
Grab a book and get some air,
So what are you waiting for?

Why not take a quick break?
Tune the radio.
(There's) Chores to do, there's leaves to rake,
Strum the old banjo.

(You) You can practice your lindy hop,
And maybe later sing with your barber shop.

(Why) Why not take a little quick break,
And come back for (more) more?
Then come back for (more) more;
Please come back for more!

Closing Credits

Well, Cuphead gambled with the Devil,
Thought he'd win a hefty purse.
Mugman came along to help him.
But things, they just got worse.

That's all there is! There isn't any more... or is there? Heh heh heh heh heh heh... hahahaha...

Switch Announcement Trailer

Well, Cuphead's on his way,
His pal Mugman in tow.
Going adventuring
to escape the Devil's grope.
You can play at your home,
but now here's something rich:
You can play while you roam,
Cuphead's coming to Switch!

Overture (The Delicious Last Course)

Cuphead
Mugman and
Chalice make a deal
As a team
Adventuring
To help make Chalice real

It's the Delicious Last Course
Oh, the Delicious Last Course
One can eat their fill
And still stay until
The Delicious Last Course

It's the Delicious Last Course
Oh, the Delicious Last Course
There's tarts, cakes and pies
A dozen scones, oh my!
For that Delicious Last Course

Oh Ms. Chalice just wants to be
Just as real as real can be
With the Wondertart
She can take heart
It's off to the bakery!

Chef Saltbaker has a plan
The best tart maker in the land
If they're expedient
With the ingredients
Then he might just lend a hand

With the Delicious Last Course
Oh that Delicious Last Course
If there's a single meal
To help make Chalice real
It's the Delicious Last Course

Oh that Delicious Last Course
Oh the Delicious Last Course
Searching à la carte
To bake the Wondertart
For the Delicious Last Course

Using recipes
To get necessities
For the Delicious Last Course

With a wink and a song,
As long as nothing goes wrong...
With that Delicious Last Course!

Prelude and Proclamation

The King of Games greets you
With pomp and much ado!
To thine's own game play true
Or thus thou fate shall rue!

A Chef's Coda

I am Chef Saltbaker, I have been a naughty crook
The recipe was in my book
The recipe was overcooked
I should not have let all of that power go to my head
Now I'll bake for good
Now I'll bake my bread

I have learned my lesson
I have learned my lesson well
It's better to bake in Heaven
Than to cook in Hell
I'm still the best tart baker
Best tart maker in the land
My baking will bring cheer
To my new friends whom I hold dear

The Key Ingredients

Well, Cuphead and his pal Mugman,
their new friend Chalice too.
By chance they stopped into a bake shop,
mischief was on the menu!

Now the debts are paid, the pastries are baked,
there is one thing left to say.
The Delicious Last Course,
Delicious Last Course,
Delicious Last Course...

The Cuphead Show! Full Theme

Come with me to the Inkwell Isles
It's just off the coast, maybe twenty-nine miles
Where there's good and there's bad and then there's in-between
With Cuphead and Mugman, you'll see what I mean...

(*BOOOOM!*)

Ice cream and rockets, trouble never ends!
Watch these ding-dongs as they make new friends

("Zig-Zag, Zig-Zag!")

They'll need some help just to stay on track
Oh, no, there's that guy! You better watch your back!

So, if you're lookin' for fun
(Cuphead and Mugman: "Yes, we're lookin' for fun!")
And a dash of heebie-jeebies
(Cuphead and Mugman: "We've got the heebie-jeebies!")
Then pack your bags and let's go!
Welcome to the Cuphead Show!
Welcome to the Cuphead Shooooow!!
