Moogle Theme

The "Moogle's Theme", also known as "Critter Tripper Fritter!?" or "Moogles' Theme", is a recurring theme in the Final Fantasy. It acts as the leitmotif of the recurring Moogles and its various versions are normally very similar in structure. It has, however, received various names through the series. It was composed by Nobuo Uematsu in 1992, and its first appearance was in Final Fantasy V.

Final Fantasy V
"Moogles' Theme" is the original moogle theme, playing as the background theme for the Moogle Village and during scenes involving moogles.

It was originally released as the fifth track of Final Fantasy V: Original Sound Version's second disc. Its arrangement by TOSE for Final Fantasy V Advance is the fifth track of the Final Fantasy Finest Box collection's third disc.

Final Fantasy VI
"Mog's Theme" acts as the character theme for the eponymous character, and also plays at the moogle cave in Narshe. It is the seventeenth track of the game's original soundtrack's second disc.

Final Fantasy IX
Moogles are prominent characters in Final Fantasy IX, and as such, the game features an arrangement of "Moogle's Theme". It only plays inside the remote Mognet Central. It is the seventeenth track of the game's original soundtrack's third disc.

Final Fantasy XIV
A new arrangement of this theme, composed by Masayoshi Soken and so far the most distinct from the original due to the presence of lyrics, appears in Final Fantasy XIV. "Good King Moggle Mog XII" is the Boss Theme for the battle with the eponymous Primal. It has yet to be released in a official album.

Lyrics
The song's lyrics describe each moogle present in the fight and praise the king.


 * Good King Moggle Mog
 * Good King Mog
 * Lord of all the land (Kupo!)


 * Good King Moggle Mog
 * Good King Mog
 * Rules with iron hand


 * Good King Moggle Mog
 * Good King Mog
 * Leads the brave and true!


 * Good King Moggle Mog
 * Good King Mog
 * Now come along and meet his trusty crew!
 * Kupo!


 * Kupta Kapa will clip your tuft
 * Split your hairs and ruffle your fluff


 * Kupti Koop will throw you for a loop
 * Brave a wall of whiskers to find his troupe


 * Kupli Kipp is sly yet sweet
 * He'll tickle your nose then tickle your feet


 * Jolly Kogi's eye for fun is clear
 * He’ll put an arrow straight in your rear!


 * Pukla Puki plays with fire
 * Poms a-burning on her pyre


 * Puksi Piko likes her buddies big
 * To sing a little song and dance a little jig


 * Pukna Pako shivers and shakes
 * She'll stick you in the gut and give you bellyaches


 * And who’s behind them, standing tall?
 * Why, the biggest moogle of them all!


 * (Who!? Who!? Whoever could it be!?)


 * Good King Moggle Mog
 * Good King Mog
 * Kind and noble lord (hear, hear!)


 * Nod your noggle nog
 * And mind your gob
 * Or he’ll put you to the sword!


 * Good King Moggle Mog
 * Good King Mog
 * His judgment you will dread


 * Good King Moggle Mog
 * Good King Mog
 * What do you decree?
 * What do you decree?
 * What do you decree?


 * Off with their heads!
