Embarrassed by his most recent arrest at the hands of Judy Hopps, Duke sings this song while reevaluating his life choices.
Lyrics[]
Duke: When I was young, with the world at my feet My future looked sweet and bri-i-ight
I chose the wrong path, which I've lived to regret How can I set it right?
What more could be waiting for me Besides this small-time crime spree?
Do I start a new life? Get a new gig? It's time to dream big
Picture me sensibly dressed A perfect employee Selling used cars with a zest The people enjoy me
Quick, plant your buns I swear it runs We don't believe in refunds Come see the weasel 'cause these'll go fast
I'll make it big time From small time to big time Big time Whoa-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh, what a feeling Wheeling and dealing Making it, making it big time
Choir: Now you're thinking through it Hey, you can do it Hoo-ooh, hoo-ooh, go on and pursue it
Duke: Laws were not always my friend That was my journey Could I protect and defend As an attorney? Or as a surgeon with an urgent need to donate organs? Then I'd self-publish my uplifting tale
How I went big time From small time to big time
Choir: One-eight-hundred-pop-goes...
Duke: Big time Whoa-oh-oh oh-oh
Choir: Call the weasel, call the weasel
Duke: Then you can all meet The weasel of Wall Street
Making it, making it big time
Choir: Follow the guru Now he's a guru Follow the guru Duke
Duke: I'll teach you the power of now If you buy a subscription!
I could do a weaselly dig Become a big tycoo-oo-oon
Then maybe I'll shoot for the stars And end up on the moon!
Here at the top looking down I'm like a titan Hand me a cape and a crown Give me a triton Loving my sleazy ol' weaselly life
When I was young, with the world at my feet My future looked sweet and bri-i-ight
Now I've gotta try to rectify And choose to be a good guy
I'll straighten up And try not to stray Starting today
