Chapter 4: Inkwell Races
Back with the Cup Trio, Ms. Chalice stops running to put the Cup Bros down.
"Ha, we finally got out of there. I hate those nurses," said Ms. Chalice.
"Yeah, girl. They were making me uncomfortable," Cuphead added.
"Hey, Cupbro and Chalice. I got something for the both of you," said Mugman, handing them the pictures of their accident kiss.
"Mugman!" Cuphead and Ms. Chalice shouted in embarrassment.
"What? I can't help it. I take pictures of what I like."
When the Cup Trio hears are ringing, they look at the clock tower, which makes Cuphead shout, "Oh, my gosh! The race is about to start!"
"Luckily for us, we stopped near where it's being held," said Ms. Chalice, seeing the horse racetrack.
"We made it on time. And there's goes the gun," said Mugman, as he, Cuphead, and Ms. Chalice stands near the fence to watch.
When the gun goes off, the horses on the track start the race the song, Camptown Races, plays.
Ms. Chalice: A long tail filly and a big black horse [The Cup Trio then sees the two horses racing close by.]
Mugman: Doo-Dah Doo-Dah [They then clap to the rhythm.]
Ms. Chalice: They fly on the track, and they cut across [The two horses then show their wings before summersaults and continue to run.]
Mugman: Oh Doo-Dah Day [The Cup Trio then bops their hands to the song.]
There goes the bay breaking in the clear [Mugman jumps up and down in excitement while the Cup Trio watches the horse.]
Cuphead: Doo-Dah Doo-Dah [Cuphead looks around for the horse he's betting on.]
Bobtail's running in the rear [Cuphead looks upset to see the horse is behind that he holds his face as Ms. Chalice pats his back.]
The Devil: Oh, Today's Your Due Day [The Devil then appeared behind the Cup Trio, which they turned around in shock.]
Everyone in the stadium: Gonna run all night [He then starts to hit them with his trident, but they keep dodging it.]
Gonna run all day [The Cup Trio then runs towards the stadium entrance, which the Devil accidentally fires his trident to make an opening for the Cup Trio to enter.]
Cuphead: I bet money my Soul won't get tag [He sang while shaking his fist and poking his head out of the opening before going back in.]
The Devil: You're not getting away [He then enters the opening to go after the Cup Trio. When the Cup Trio run passed the concession stand, they went back to order some popcorn, cotton candy, and hot dog. After they quickly ate their food, they went back to running.]
The way you're running, things look black [After the Devil blasts the concession stand by accident, he floats after the Cup Trio and passes the frame.]
Cup Trio: Gah-Ah! Gah-Ah! [The Cup Trio then jumps constantly while avoiding the Devil's fires.]
Cuphead: I don't think I'll get my money back [Cuphead then looks at the racetrack for his horse is still last place while looking upset.]
Cup Trio: Woah! Run away! [Mugman and Ms. Chalice then pick up Cuphead when the Devil is standing close to him and before he could stab him with his trident.]
Mugman: It looks like you're on a bad aim streak [When he fires again, it hits the butter pump and makes it spill behind the Cup Trio.]
Ms. Chalice: Naa-naa boo-boo![The Devil then slips on the spilled butter as the Cup Trio taunts him .]
Yeah, your aiming and luck are super weak [The Cup Trio then climbs up a watch tower of the racetrack.]
The Devil: You take back what you say [After he slammed his face on the ladder, he shook his face and climbed after the Cup Trio.]
Everyone in the stadium: Gonna run all night [The ladder is circled by the watch tower as the Cup Trio and the Devil climb it.]
Gonna run all day [The Cup Trio reaches the top to look down the race while Mugman says, "We're trapped.]
Cuphead: You'll never get my Soul, you old goat nag [When the Devil arrived at the top, Cuphead sang this while he grabbed Mugman and Ms. Chalice by the hips, which made Chalice blush.]
The Devil: Prepare to meet your due day [When he prepares to fire at the Cup Trio, Cuphead jumps off the roof towards the racetrack as Ms. Chalice screams and Mugman shouts, "CUPHEAD, ARE YOU CRAZY?!" They(Cuphead, Ms. Chalice, and Mugman in that order on the horse) soon landed on the bobtail nag as they knocked its rider off. This shocked the horse so much that it ran super-fast.]
Everyone in the stadium: The bobtail's moving extra fast ["Hey, we're in the race. Yee-haw," said Cuphead.]
Doo-Dah Doo-Dah [The crowds were surprised by what happened, but they continued to cheer on.]
He's inching up now he's next to last ["Looks like you're going to win your bet, Cuphead," said Ms. Chalice.]
Oh Doo-Dah Day [The Devil then floats down the race track and uses his trident to summon a bone horse and rides it after the Cup Trio.]
He's SIX, he's FIVE, and now he's FOUR [The Cup Trio looks like they're having fun as they ride the bobtail nag.]
Doo-Dah Doo-Dah [But when they hear the Devil's evil laughter, they turn to find him heading their way.]
Cup Trio: Come on, ole nag, give it more more more [Shocked, they quickly put the horse for it to faster as they sang.]
Everyone in the stadium: Oh Doo-Dah Day [The Devil then gets on his two feet and prepares to fire at the Cup Trio.]
Gonna run all night [The Cup Trio then makes the horse move in different positions to avoid the hits.]
Gonna run all day [The crowds cheer even louder for seeing so much attention on the racetrack.]
Cup Trio: Keep running, our friend, the bobtail nag [Cuphead hugs onto the neck of the horse, while Ms. Chalice holds onto Cuphead, and Mugman has the horse's body.]
The Devil: Prepare the prayer you'll say [He got so furious that flames surrounded him from being tired of missing the Cup Trio.]
Everyone in the stadium: Past the filly and the big black horse [Once their horse passes the two, Cuphead said,
"I know he's flaming cause I can feel the heat."]
Doo-Dah Doo-Dah [But then Devil came neck to neck with the Cup Trio.]
Up to the bay using all his force [But when the two horses reach the bay, the rider on it turned out to be Luzando Aneurin.]
Oh Doo-Dah Day ["Luzando?!" the Devil shouted in shock.]
There's the finish of the five-mile chase ["Hello again," said Luzando, before taking out a hammer and pounding it on the Devil's head.]
Doo-Dah Doo-Dah[This caused the Devil and his horse to get off course and crash into the fence.]
Ole bobtail won the Inkwell Race [When the Cup Trio passed the finished line, they were surprised by this.]
Oh Doo-Dah Day [Their horse stopped when the camera crew arrived to take pictures as streamers and confetti fell.]
Gonna run all night [Ms. Chalice was then given a bouquet of roses.]
Gonna run all day [Mugman is then given a 1st place trophy with 3-million-dollar cash.]
Cup Trio: We won the race, thanks to the bobtail nag [The Cup Trio gets off the horse as Cuphead was given the 1st place blue ribbon.]
And now the Devil is at bay [The Cup Trio then waved at the cheering crowd as the song ends.]
