Lyrics[]
Lucifer: Haha! Looks like you could use some help
From the Big Boss of Hell himself
Check out Daddy's glowing reviews on Yelp
Lucifer Muppets: "Five Stars!"
"Flawless!"
"Greater than great!"
Lucifer: With a punch of a pentagram
I Wap! Bam! Boom! Alakazam!
Usually, I charge a sacrificial lamb
But you get the family rate!
Lucifer and Charlie: "Thanks, Dad!"
Who needs a busboy now that you've got the chef?
(Woh-oh-oh!)
Michelin tasting menu, free à la carte
I'll rig the game for you because I'm the ref!
Champagne fountains
Caviar mountains
That's just to start!
Alastor: Who's been here since day one?
Who's been faithful as a nun?
Makes you chuckle with an old-timey pun?
Your executive producer
Charlie Morningstar: That's true!
Alastor: I'm your guy, your day-to-day
Your chum, your steadfast hotelier
Remember when I fixed that clog today?
Niffty: I was stuck. Thank you, sir!
Charlie: Oh, you!
Alastor: I'm truly honored that we've built such a bond
Charlie: Awww!
Alastor: You're like the child that I wish that I had
Lucifer: Uh, what?
Alastor: I care for you just like a daughter I spawned
Lucifer: Hold on now!
Alastor: It's a little funny
You could almost call me...
Dad!
(Lucifer plays a golden fiddle)
(Alastor plays piano)
(Lucifer plays accordion)
Alastor: They say when you're looking for assistance
It's smart to pick the path of least resistance
Lucifer: Others say that in your needy hour
There's no substitute for pure angelic power!
Who just happens to also be your blood!
Alastor: Sadly, there are times a birth parent is a dud
They say the family you choose is better
Lucifer: What a bunch of losers!
Alastor: Can you butt out of my song?
Lucifer: Your song? I started this!
Alastor: I'm singing it, I'll finish it!
Lucifer: OH, YOU TACKY PIECE OF—!
Mimzy: It's me!
Yes, it's me!
I know you were all waiting for me!
I'm here!
What a gas!
Took a while but I'm present at last!
It's me!
It's me!
Mimzzzyyyyyyy!
Lucifer: Who?
Trivia[]
- Lucifer playing a golden violin could be a reference to the song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" where in the devil wagers a golden fiddle in a bet to try to gain Johnny's soul.
- When Alastor is dressed as a nun, the cross symbol on his headdress is upside down. An upside down cross is commonly associated with Anti-Christianity and Satanism.
- In an interview with Vivziepop, it is revealed that Alastor does not actually see Charlie as a daughter figure and only insisted just to get under Lucifer's skin.[1]
- When Alastor and Lucifer later in the song attempts to push each other out of the song, the famous bonk meme sound can be heard.
- However, this sound effect can not be heard in the soundtrack version.
- Alastor and Charlie are dancing on the top of the steps is a callback to the pilot, wherein during Alastor's Reprise the two dance at the exact same place.
- In the official Italian dub, instead of the line "Angelic power!", Lucifer's line roughly translates to say "Power of (a) Seraphim!".
