Several uses of "damn"

The word Hell is used in the opening song.

One use of "crap."

During the "Magic Dance" number, goblins are seen drinking some unknown beverage drawn into their steins from a keg while they party, with one goblin lying like a drunkard with his mouth open under the tap trying to catch any excess drops.
