Look At Him Lyrics

LOOK AT HIM!

DUCKLINGS: Look at him!

IDA:                 Now then, children, let's not make a fuss

DUCKLINGS/DRAKE:  Look at him!

DRAKE:         Are you sure he's really one of us?

IDA:                 Family likeness isn't strong, still you won't poke fun.
                       All of you must get along-- he's a special son.

(IDA, spoken:)Come along, all of you now, follow me.
But stay close to me at all times or you may get trodden on...and beware of the cat!
DUCKLINGS:
look at him-- legs are bandy and the knees are knocked. Look at him

D1:      dad was obviously egg-shell-shocked

DUCKLINGS:           

Bet the neighbors scream and howl when they see our brood

He's the foulest waterfowl

UGLY: why are you so rude?

D2 (spoken):Ooh, touchy!

DUCKLINGS:           

Look at him, looks as if he’s just been badly squashed.

Look at him, all his feathers should be boil-washed.

There’s a problem with his face something seems to grate.
It’s his beak it needs a brace just to keep it straight.

UGLY: look at you, look at me what's it matter?

D3 (spoken): isn't it obvious?

UGLY: why do I make you all laugh and scoff?

D4 (spoken): have you seen your reflection?

UGLY: why don't we play with the fishes?

DUCKLINGS: because you'd scare them off!  Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah

Ida:  Hello, Maureen.

MAUREEN:  hello, Ida. Hello Drake. What a splendid brood. Did the big egg hatch out alrigh… (She sees Ugly)

MAUREEN:   Look at him! Come on, Ida, tell me what went wrong?
Look at him! Did you leave him in the egg too long?

IDA:                 I admire you for your pluck strictly "entre nous"
He may be no gorgeous duck... neither, dear, are you!

MAUREEN: Well! I must be going!

DRAKE: Look at him you admit he is a bit extreme? DUCKILNGS: Now our parents will start quibbling.

IDA:    Look at him just a variation on a theme          DUCKLINGS:   He's a truly ugly sibling

IDA:      I don't want to see my son left out on a limb why is it that everyone has to jeer?DRAKE:  there's your answer, dear...

ALL:    Look at him!

TURKEY:        Line up everyone. Short ones at the front
(everyone gasps at ugly)

ALL:    Look at him he's an ugly one, there is no doubt
Look at him does he have his feathers inside-out?
What else would explain his looks being quite so rough?
How on earth would gourmet cooks know which end to stuff?!

Look at him, look at us see the difference

You may have to be cruel to be kind

If the cat got him for his tea then no-bo-dy would mind!

CAT:   Look at him! Still a duckling but there's so much more...
look at him! Finest cat food that I ever saw
better still he won't be missed-- they think he's a flop
maybe they'll let me assist giving him the chop!

TURKEY:      Now, in a moment you will be presented to Her Grace, the most distinguished Duck on the lake. She was once paired with a Mandarin. You will notice she has a red band of cloth round her leg…

DRAKE: Shouldn’t it be orange for a Mandarin? You know, Mandarine Orange…

TURKEY: that is the greatest distinction a duck can enjoy. It means that she is looked up to by both men and animals.

IDA: Now don’t turn your toes in, just bow your head politely and say ‘Quack’.

Ducklings (individually) Wah, wah, Wah, Wah         Honk!

ALL     Look at him, now he’s ruining our photograph

Look at him Mother Nature must have had a laugh!

IDA:     He's my son and I love him. Do you see what you've done?
You're to blame this duckyard would be so boring if we all looked the same.
(all react scornfully- gooble, quack, sqwack…)

DRAKE/TURKEY/MAUREEN/POULTRY:

Look at him and be thankful that he's not your kid
look at him bound to go the way the dodo did.
Bodywork designed to shock prospects pretty dim
He should form a solo flock
Look at him, look at me, look at you, you'll agree
anywhere you look will be less grim than a glimpse of this wimp of wimps...
Look at him!!!

CAT-look at him little thing            his neck just made to wring.                   Look at him!
