So basically Cuphead is telling me to cannibalize him?

how come I always smirk when listening to this?

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!
