Alan Menken - A Happy Ending For Us lyrics

[Gwynne] When rich folks war, who dies? [Chef] The poor [Gwynne] On that you can depend So obviously for you and me There's only one way this can end Let's see: appetizers, salads...aha! Let's spike the soup with some arsenic [Chef] What? [Gwynne] Just a few droplets like thus Serve and each blue blood will die as they spew blood A happy ending for us [Chef] Gosh! [Gwynne] How 'bout a pie full of cyanide? Can you imagine the fuss? Cramps, diarrhea, convulsions [Chef] Then see ya! [Gwynne] A happy ending for us Picture that great big pool of puke and stool A happy ending for us [Chef] I could fry up some heirloom toadstools with a little hemlock vinaigrette [Gwynne] Ooh! [Chef] What? [Gwynne] If they survive to the entree... [Chef] Go on... [Gwynne] Strychnine can be your best friend [Chef] Nice! [Gwynne] Poison the meat first, they'll leave the hall feet first A perfect fairy tale end [Chef] Tra-la-la-la-la! [Gwynne] How 'bout a tray of bad shellfish? [Chef] Yes! [Gwynne] Ooh! Chicken delicious served rare [Chef] A tartare! [Gwynne] Choose any toxin then toss the whole box in Voila! They're gasping for air! Oh how they'll heave and spurt and for desert do things too gross to discuss And they will claw and choke 'til all of them croak A lovely ending [Chef] A storybook ending [Both] A happy ending for us [Gwynne] What do you say? [Chef] I better get cooking
