Big Bright Beautiful World
by Shrek The Musical Cast

[Shrek Voiceover:]
Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek, who lived with his parents in a bog by a tree. It was a pretty nasty
place, but he was happy because ogres like nasty places.

On his birthday, the little ogre's parents sat him down to talk, just as all ogre's parents had for hundreds of years before.

[Mama Ogre:]
Listen son, you're growing up so quickly,
Growing up, bigger by the day.

[Papa Ogre:]
Although we want you here,
The rules are very clear--

[Mama Ogre:]
Now you're seven...

[Papa Ogre:]
Now you're seven...

[Both:]
So it's time to go away.

[Papa Ogre:]
Your Mama packed a sandwich for your trip.

[Mama Ogre:]
Your Papa packed your boots in case of snow.

[Both:]
You're gonna make us proud.
No backing up allowed.

[Mama Ogre:]
Just keep walking...

[Papa Ogre:]
Just keep walking...

[Both:]
and you'll find somewhere to go.

It's a big bright beautiful world,
with happiness all around.
It's peaches and cream
and every dream comes true...
But not for you.

It's a big, bright, beautiful world,
with possibilities everywhere.
And just around the bend,
there's a friend or two...
But not for you.

[Mama Ogre:]
You're ugly son,
which means that life is harder.
People hate the things they cannot understand.

[Papa Ogre:]
And when they look at us,
they tend to make a fuss.

[Mama Ogre:]
Burn our houses down.

[Papa Ogre:]
and chase us...

[Both:]
Off our land.

[Papa Ogre:]
It's important that you find a cozy cesspit.

[Mama Ogre:]
A place no one would ever dare to tread.

[Both:]
And if they happen by,
make sure you terrify them.

[Mama Ogre:]
If you don't, son...

[Papa Ogre:]
If you don't, son...

[Both:]
Then you'll surely wind up dead.

[Mama Ogre:]
Good-bye!

[Papa Ogre:]
Good-bye!

[Mama Ogre:]
Watch out for men with pitch-forks!

[Shrek Voiceover:]
And so the little ogre went off and found a muddy patch of swampland, far, far away from the world that despised him. And
there he stayed for many years. Tucked away, and all alone...which was just the was he liked it.

[Shrek:]
Keep your big bright beautiful world.
I'm happy where I am, all alone.
I got all I need,
so read the stinkin' sign!

Keep your big bright beautiful world.
I party on my own anyway.
Doin' what I can
with a one-man conga line.

Yeah, your big bright beautiful world
is all teddy bears and unicorns.
Take your fluffy fun,
and shove it where the sun don't shine!

I prefer a life like this--
it's not that complicated.
Sure, I'm fated to be lonely,
and I'm destined to be hated.
If you read the books, they say
it's why I was created.
But I don't care,
'cause being liked
is grossly overrated.

Who needs a big bright beautiful world?
I got my own little patch of the world!
It's not a big bright beautiful world,
but it's mine! Alone!

It's mine!
And it's mine!
All mine!

I Could Get Used To This
by Shrek The Musical Cast

Donkey:
Can I just say though, I'm likin' what you've done around here.
Most people would think of a swamp as a nasty place to live,
but it's amazing on what you've done on such a modest budget.

Shrek:
(Trying to calm down)
Oh, that's very kind. Maybe they'll do a feature on me in Better Gnomes and Gardens.

Donkey:
(Starts to walk around the swamp)
Mmm...

Shrek:
Hey, where ya' goin'?

Donkey:
I just wanna take another look around, 'cause this place is beautiful!

Shrek,
Oh, no, no, no you don't. The exit's this way! Hey get back here!

DONKEY,
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Okay, okay, yeah
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Okay, okay, yeah

I like that bolder
Those trees are nice
And a mud bath
That is bliss

A big backyard and a body guard
I could get used to this
Uh-huh
Okay, okay!

SHREK,
(Spoken)
Hey, I just straightened up over there!

DONKEY,
The soothing sound of
Those burpin' frogs and
Inalterable habitat

This place may stink
But it beats the clink
I could get used to that
Uh-huh
Okay, okay!

SHREK,
(Spoken)
Out of my onion patch!

DONKEY,
I'll put my hammock here
And my hibachi there
I'll put a pool in here
And do my yoga there

We got a nasty ogre here
So you best beware!

SHREK,
(Spoken)
Give me that! Honestly did your mother accidently kick you in the head as a child?
Well? Where'd he go? Oh no...

DONKEY,
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Okay, okay, yeah
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Okay, okay, yeah!

I dig that carpet
And the monster core
Hey, a comfy chair can't miss
I love the look of your
Breakfast nook

I could get used to this
And may I add
I've never had
A bachelor pad
I could get used to this

It takes the prize
It's just my size
They match my eyes
I could get used to this

(Donkey locks Shrek out of his house)

SHREK,
(Spoken)
You open this door right now...

DONKEY,
Oh and what is that
A home cooked meal?
Now this is where it's at...
(Opens the door for Shrek)
Ugh, you know what?
I'm actually gonna order in

Cause there is no stinkin' way
I could get used to that...

SHREK,
(Spoken)
Alright, you are gonna get it!

DONKEY,
Imaginary friends all my life
They were fun, but just pretend
But I finally found
And actual, true to life, flesh and blood
Certified, genuine, bona fide
Best friend...

SHREK,
(Spoken)
You're pitiful...

DONKEY,
I knew you'd understand!

We'll swap awesome stories here
We'll make waffles there
Karaoke here
We'll make prank calls there

I'll shave your back right over here
And you'll braid my hair
Pedicures once a week
Saturdays hide and seek
Tatter tats
Poker nights
Truth or dare
3 A.M pillow fights

You need a buddy
A loyal pal!
And a side kick
Uh, yep, ya' do!

We've only met just miles
And yet
I've gotten totally used to you
Uh-huh
Okay

Cause I'm here
I'm here to stay
I'm here to stay
I believe
I'm here to stay

So where do I sleep?

Dont Let Me Go
by Shrek The Musical Cast

Donkey:
Hey-hey-hey, ya gotta let me go with you.
You don't know what it's like to be considered a freak.
(beat)
Well maybe you do. But that's why we gotta stick together.

Shrek:
Donkey-

Donkey:
No-no-no, don't speak...don't speak...don't speak...

Just hear me out, I might surprise you.
I'll be a friend, when others despise you.
Don't roll your eyes! Stop with the mopin'.
You need a pal. My calendar's open!

I'll bring you soup, when you feel congested.
I'll bail you out when you get arrested.
I got your back when things get scary.
And I'll shave it when it gets hairy!

Don't let me go
Don't let me go.
Don't let me go-oh-oo-ohhhh...
You need me.
You need me.

I'll treat you right, and never get shoddy.
If you kill a man, I'll hide the body.
Whadaya say? You're not responding..
(silence-silence) I think we're bonding!

Don't let me go.
Don't let me go.
Don't let me go.
You need me.

You and me, we belong together!
Like butter and grits, like kibbles and bits.
Like yin and yang - strum and drang - like Eng and Chang
attached at the hip, but not an old lady hip that might break.
I'm gonna be on your like a fat kid on cake!
Like Cupid and Psyche - like Pop Rocks and Mikey.
We'll stick together like that Velcro-stuff - I'm the fuzzy side, and you'll be spiky.
Little kids and the pajamas with those funny things at the bottom. You know - feeties!
Like donuts and... what goes with donuts?
(searching, panicked)
donuts and... diabetes!

(Shrek tries to move on.)

Don't let me go!
Don't let me go!
Don't let me go!
Don't let me go!

Hold me! Hug me! Take me! Please!
Na na-na na na na-please don't let me go!
I need you-I need you-I need you- I need you-
I need you-I need you- I need you-I need you-
I need you-I need you-I need you-I need you-
I need you-I need you-I need you-

Don't let meeeeee...
Go-oh! Go-oh! Go-oh!
Don't let me...
G-g-g-g-g-g-go-ohohohohhhh...

Life is disappointing.
Woe is what I know.
Outed by nose-

Always doomed to fail.
Cheated by a fox.
Swallowed by a whale.
That's the story of my life, oh yeah.
That's the story of my life.

I Know Its Today
by Shrek The Musical Cast

YOUNG FIONA,
(Spoken)
Settle in girls. It's story time!

(Sung)
Theres a princess
In a tower
Oh my gosh, thats just like me
Poor Rapunzel
Needs a haircut
But the witch wont set her free
She passes time by singing
Like someone else I know
As years go by she sits and waits
As years go by? Uh oh
A torturous existence
I dont remember this part!
She wishes she were dead?
Skip ahead skip ahead!
But in the end Rapunzel finds a millionaire
The prince is good at climbing and braiding golden hair!

So I know, hell appear
Cause there are rules and there are strictures
I believe the storybooks I read by candlelight
My white knight, and his steed
Will look just like these pictures!
It wont be long now, I guarantee!
Day number23.
I know its today
I know its today

TEENSAGE FIONA:
(Spoken)
Oh here's a good one! It's a classic!

(Sung)
Theres a princess
In a comma
Glad its her instead of me.
Pretty maiden
In a glass box
How I wonder does she pee?
Blah blah blah, poison apple
Boring boring evil queen
Filler filler, been there, read that!
Seven shorties on the scene.
Skip ahead, skip ahead
But in the end the princess wakes up with a start
The prince is good at kissing
And melting Snow Whites heart!

So I know, hell appear
And his armor will be blinding!
As shining as his perfect teeth
And manly Hose
Hell propose
On one knee
And our prenupt will be binding!
About time we set the wedding date!
Day number958.
I know its today.
Hell show up today....

FIONA:
...ay...
Theres a princess
Any princess
Take your pick, theyre all like me
Not exactly, Im still waiting
theyre living happily
Ever after better get here
I want love in seconds flat
No one needs these middle bits
Oops, did I do that?

Cut the villains, cut the vamping
Cut this fairytale
Cut the peril and the pitfalls
Cut the puppet and the whale
Cut the monsters, cut the curses
Keep the intro, cut the verses
And the waiting, the waiting, the waiting, the waiting
The waiting!

But I know, hell appear
Though I seem a bit bipolar
And Im a vandal now as well, though he wont mind
Im a find, Im a catch
And a very gifted bowler!
It wont be long now, I guarantee!
Day number

Are you there God?
Its me Fiona

ALL FIONAS:

Now I know, hell appear
Cause there are rules and there are strictures
I believe the storybooks I read by candlelight
My white knight, my knight and his steed
Will look just like these pictures!
It wont be long now, I guarantee!

Whats Up Duloc?
by Shrek The Musical Cast

[Performers]
Welcome to Duloc,
such a perfect town.
Here we have some rules,
let us lay them down
Don't make waves, stay in line,
and we'll get along fine.
Duloc is the perfect place.

Please keep off of the grass.
Shine your shoes, wipe your...face.
Duloc is, Duloc is, Duloc is the perfect place!

[Performer]
And here's the man who made it happen!
That towering colossus of moxie!
Loooooooooord Farquaad!

(Lord Farquaad appears on a central balcony a la Evita. Turns around and feigns surprise.)

[Lord Farquaad]
Oh it's you! What a terrific surprise.
(Sung)
Once upon a time
this place was infested.
Freaks on every corner-
I had them all arrested.
Hey nonny-nonny-nonny-no.

If you had a quirk,
you didn't pass inspection.
We all have our standards,
but I will have perfection.
And sooooo...
And sooooo...

Things are looking up here in Duloc.

[Performers]
Just take a look!

[Farquaad]
The things I'm cooking up here in Duloc.

Oo! I got the prefect remedy for that!

Donkey, please I'm begging you-

Sing a song
Yes, a travel song,
when you gotta go somewhere.
'Cause the fun is getting there,
Yeah. Oh what the heck, I must confess
I love a road trip!

Sing a song
Hit the trail
Forget the maps. Forget the guides.
Before you know it, you've made strides with me.

And I know - all I need - all along
is a path - and pal - and a song.
So I'm singin'
and I'm pallin' with you.

And tic tac on her breath
Oh oh oh

This Is How Dreams Come True
by Shrek The Musical Cast

[Fiona]
(speaking) Now holdest on sir Shrek
Don't you want to savour this moment
It be-ith our first meeting
It must be a wonderful and romantic scene

This is how a dream comes true
This is how I pictured you
Climbing in to rescue me
This was always meant to be

[Shrek]
Aww geeze I'm like a crack pot magnet

[Fiona]
This is how the scene must go
You standing...there the light just so
Then you smile and gaze at me
Take my hand on bended knee
Bended knee
Bended knee

[Shrek]
Ow!

[Fiona]
Sorry.
And though we've only met
Some how I always knew
It would look like this
When dreams come true

[Donkey]
Shrek!!

[Fiona]
Brave sir knight slow down a bit
Shut-in girls are delicate
I've long for this my whole life long
Now you're doing it all wrong

Down a rope a steed awaits
That's what every story states
Riding over rough terrain
Past the dragon you have slay-en
You have slay-en
You have slay en?

[Shrek]
It's on my to-do list

[Fiona]
WHAT?

[Shrek]
Donkey over here!

[Donkey]
Oh, you found the princess

[Fiona]
It talks.

[Shrek]
Ya but the real trick is getting him to shut up

[Fiona]
Are you there God? It's me Fiona

[Shrek]
Less praying more running

[Fiona]
Tra la la la la

[Shrek]
This way instead

[Fiona]
Tra la la la la

[Shrek]
Tore ahead

[Fiona]
In the end remember all your dreams come tru-Ah!
Say your affirmations and love will come to you
If you can conceive it, believe it, achieve it

Wooh! Mad dragon yay!
Skeletons hurray!
Pretending I'm not here
Nothing more to fear

Pink ponies happy sky, pink ponies happy sky
Oh my God we're gonna die

[Shrek]
Get back!

[Fiona]
This is how I pictured it
..More or less I must admit
A thumping in my heart
A life about to start

I knew this day would come
And you would find your way
At last my dream comes true
I knew, I knew, I knew!
It would be today!

I guess I'd be a hero-
with sword and armor clashing,
looking semi-dashing,
a shield within my grip

Or else I'd be a Viking,
and live a life of daring,
while smelling like a herring,
upon a Viking ship

I'd sail away.
I'd see the world.
I'd reach the farthest reaches.
I'd feel the wind.
I'd taste the salt and sea,
and maybe storm some beaches.
That's who I'd be.
That's who I'd be.

I could be a poet,
and write a different story-
one that told of glory,
and wiped away the lies.

Into the skies I'd throw it.
The stars would do the telling,
the moon would help with spelling,
and night would dot the i's.

I'd write a verse,
recite a joke,
with wit and perfect timing.
I'd share my heart,
confess the things I yearn,
and do it all while rhyming.
But we all learn.
But we all learn.

An ogre always hides.
An ogre's fate is known.
An ogre always stays
in the dark and all alone.

So yes, I'd be a hero
and if my wish was granted
life would be enchanted,
or so the stories say.

Of course I'd be a hero,
and I would scale a tower
to save a hot-house flower,
and carry her away.

But standing guard
would be a beast.
I'd somehow overwhelm it.
I'd get the girl.
I'd take a breath,
and I'd remove my helmet.

We'd stand and stare.
We'd speak of love.
We'd feel the stars ascending.
We'd share a kiss.
I'd find my destiny.
I'd have a hero's ending.
A perfect happy ending.
That's how it would be:
A big bright beautiful world...
but not for me.

[Fiona]
An ogre always hides.
An ogre's fate is known.

[Shrek & Fiona}
An ogre always stays
in the dark all alone.

[Donkey]
You're all alone

(overlapping)
[Fiona]
And I know he'll appear,
'cause there are rules and there are strictures.
I believe the storybooks I read by candlelight.

[Shrek]
So yes, I'd be a hero
and if my wish were granted,
life would be enchanted,
or so the stories say.
Of course I'd be a hero,
and I would scale a tower,
to save a hot-house flower,
and carry her away.

[Donkey]
All alone.
You need a pal,
My calendar's open.
Ya need me.

[Together]
A perfect happy ending.
That's how it should be.

Morning Person
by Shrek The Musical Cast

FIONA:
Good morning birds.
Good morning trees.
Oh what a lovely day.
The suns so big it hurts my eyes
but really - that's okay!

A brand new day
with things to do.
So many plans to make.
I've had 6 cups of coffee so
I'm really wide awake.

I've always been a morning person.
A morning girl - hooray!

BLUEBIRD:
Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep!
Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep!

FIONA:
Hooray!

BLUEBIRD:

Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep!
Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep!

Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep!
Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep!

FIONA:
Hoo-raaaaaaaa-(off-key)-aaaaaaaay!

(bird explodes)

Good morning deer.
Say have you heard?
Today's my wedding day.
I haven't met my husband yet,
but I'm hopeful anyway

I'll wear a gown,
we'll have a ball,
and dance forever more.
(dancing with scared deer)
He'll take me in his massive arms
and spin me 'round the floor.

I've always been a morning person!
A morning girl-
(She twirls the deer right off a cliff.)
Hooray.

(A couple rats scurry past her.)

FIONA:
Why, good morning, Pied Piper.

PIED PIPER:
Bah, what's so good about it? I can't get these rats to follow me!

FIONA:
I think you may need to change your tune, Mister.
(she takes the pipe from him)

PIED PIPER:
Hey, give me my flute back!

(Fiona plays the flute expertly, of course. The Pied Piper watches in disbelief as the stage is suddenly swarmed by a line
of rats. Fiona is delighted by the dancing vermin. Big tap break between her and the rats.)

FIONA:
A brand new start.
A palette cleanse.
As fresh as lime sorbet.
Last night I was a monster
but this morning...
this morning...
this morning...
I'm okay!
This morning I'm okay!

I Think I Got You Beat
by Shrek The Musical Cast

FIONA:
(spoken)
There are things you don't know, ya know.
About me. About how rough I had it!

SHREK:
(spoken)
What, in that cushy tower of yours?

FIONA:
(spoken)
Cushy! Are you kidding?
(sung)
I had nothing in that tower,
fighting boredom by the hour.
Princess Lonely, walking circles.
I had only...

Bare essentials - army cot, a
hot plate and chamber pot, and
every morning I would boil it.
No choice, I had no toilet.

Just a view of devastation
out one window. Isolation
in my bedroom.
And very little headroom.

Twenty years I sat and waited.
I'm very dedicated.
On the walls the days were added.
Luckily those walls were padded!
So...
I think I got you beat.
I think I got you beat.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think I got you beat.
I think I got you beat.

SHREK:
(spoken)
Oh you think so? That was a sad story, but...
(sung)
I've heard better. I'm just saying.
A for effort. Thanks for playing.
Sad to see a princess suffer,
but I had it rougher.

Like that time a mob with torches
burned my britches. See the scorches?
You're just whiny.
I had a flaming heiney!

As I fled I had to wonder,
if I was torn asunder,
would an ogre go to heaven?
Did I mention I was seven?
So...
I think I got you beat.
I think I got you beat.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think I got you beat.
I think I got you beat.

FIONA:
No warm regards.

SHREK:
No Christmas cards.

FIONA:
And every day...

SHREK:
...was "Hell on Earth Day".

FIONA:
(spoken)
Okay, top this...
(sung)
I missed my prom.

SHREK:
My Dad and Mom
sent me away.
It was my birthday.

FIONA:

I was sent away on Christmas Eve.

SHREK:

D'ah!

SHREK:

Oopsy.
Ah well, better out than in I always say.

(Fiona considers, then lets one slip herself.)

(Shrek, impressed, now commences a duel of fats and burps.)

The Ballad of Farquaad
by Shrek The Musical Cast

FARQUAAD
(spoken)
My father simply couldn't accept that I wanted nothing to do with the family business...that lowly, dirty family business...

(sung)
My daddy was a miner
So he wasn't much around
Foraging for diamonds
A life spent underground

Daddy didn't talk much
He barely said hello
He'd simply mutter "Heigh ho"
And off to work he'd go

Daddy was grumpy...

My momma was a princess
Who left her crown behind
Daddy was her true love, so
Momma didn't mind

I never knew my momma
But she could've been a queen
She married way beneath her...
Beneath her knee, I mean

Ohhh, daddy's bed was lumpy
So mommy couldn't sleep
Daddy built a new one
So tall and so steep

Twenty-five mattresses she slept upon
One night she rolled over...
And momma was gone

So daddy was grumpy...

Me and my old man
A tale as old as dirt
A bitter distant father
In a tiny undershirt

Daddy up and left me
Left me good as dead
Now he lives in squalor
Sleeping seven to a bed

(spoken)
You abandoned me in those woods, daddy. Well I crawled out! And up! Oh, if only you could see me now, daddy...I'd invite you to the wedding but you have to be THIS tall to get in! Hahahahahaha!

(sung)
My bride-to-be is gorgeous
Her wedding dress, designer
The guest list will be major
Without a minor miner

Guards
La la la la la la la la la la la la la

FARQUAAD
Packs of royal lackeys
Playing violin

GUARDS
Strings of royal underlings

FARQUAAD & (GUARDS)
Who will not let you in!
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha!
Tricked out carriage!
(Tricked out carriage)
Twenty stallions!
(Twenty stallions)
With a coachman named Raoul
(With a coachman named Raoul)
Big reception!
(Big reception)
With a boy band!
(With a boy band)
And a royal deejay by the pool...

Yes! I can see my future
And so it shall be done
It's total domination
With some torture just for fun, hee hee!

'Cause I will have my wedding And I will have a queen!
And once I get that crown on
You will get the guillotine

And I'll punish you daddy
'Cause I'm all grown up And bigger than you'll ever know!

You're gonna pay daddy!
It's any day daddy!
I'm off to work
Heigh ho!

Make a Move
by Shrek The Musical Cast

Donkey:
(spoken)
There's something going on around here
I've been watching and the signals are clear
A nervous laugh when she brushes his skin
The sweaty palms, the big dopey grin...

(sung)
mmmmm...

(spoken)
With a giggle and a flip of her hair
I smell the pheromones in the air!
Making goo-goo eyes over their food
They need my help here in setting the mood!

Oh, you don't believe love is blind?
Well I've got some friends who think otherwise.

Blind Mice:
ahhhhh....

Donkey:
And here they are!
Direct from my imagination!

Blind Mice:
Three Blind Mice

Donkey:

Blind Mice:
Three blind mice
See how they run

Donkey:

You've gotta turn up the heat
You've gotta butter the pan

Donkey and Blind Mice:
You've gotta make a move
And don't be afraid!

Donkey:
Reach for her hand
Maybe give her a kiss

Donkey and Blind Mice:
She's waiting for a move to be made

But you have got to tell this girl what you are thinking deep down.
You may not get another chance!

When Words Fail
by Shrek The Musical Cast

[Shrek]
Princess.. I..
How's it going first of all?
Good?
Uh, it's good for me too.
I'm okay

I picked this flower
Right over there
Is where it grew
And I don't really like it
But it made me think of you
Because it's pretty
Is what I'm trying to say
And you are also pretty
But I like you anyway

So please accept this flower
With its petals and a stem
Which represent my feelings
And tells you how..
(spoken)
Oh man I'm in trouble

When words fail
What will I do?
When words fail
How will she know how I feel?
When words fail
Will I fail too?

Hello fair princess
Oh look the moon
Is out tonight
You remind me of that moon
Because it's big and bright
And by big I don't mean chubby
Obviously you're not fat
But your personality is biggish
Is what I meant by that

Sorry 'bout that fat thing,
I'm on the hefty side myself
I have to blame the gene pool
Which reminds me of...
Oh where I am going with this

When words fail
What will I do?
When words fail
How will she know how I feel?
When words fail
Will I fail too?

Do I have a snowball's chance?
Are my prospects just too grim?
I spent my life stuck in the mud
Now I'm crawling out on a limb

If words fail
She'll know what I mean
If words fail
She'll just take my hand
She sees me like no one else has
If words fail
She'll understand
She'll understand

Gonna Build A Wall
by Shrek The Musical Cast

I'm gonna build me a wall, I'll make it ten feet high.
See ya later pal, bye bye.
No one gettin' in so don't you even try.
A ten foot wall..

I'm gonna build me a wall, I'm gonna disappear.
What's the matter pal, am I not bein' clear?
Can't you take a hint, am I getting through at all?
Just get outta here..

I was told the world would despise me.
So I should have known, I should have guessed.
I thought these two might be different.
Well now I know, they're just like all the rest.

I'm gonna be what they want, I'm gonna be what they say.
Hey world, I'll do it your way!
You're looking for a monster, it's your lucky day.
I'll be what you want..

What a fool to think she might love me.
I opened my heart and let her walk through.
She wanted prince charming, I wanted my home back,
How lucky both our wishes came true..

Gonna build me a wall, a perfect place to hide.
Hey world, stay on your side.
The best way to conquer they say is to divide.

Gonna build a wall.
Gonna be what they say.
Gonna hide in my heart.

Gonna build a wall...

Big Bright Beautiful World (Reprise)
by Shrek The Musical Cast

SHREK: It's a big, bright, beautiful world
With happiness all around
It's peaches and cream, if a dream comes true
It's a big, bright, beautiful world
With possibilities everywhere
If true love is blind, maybe you won't mind the view
I know I'm not the handsome prince for whom you've waited
I don't have a fancy castle and I'm not sophisticated
A princess and an ogre, I admit, is complicated
You've never read a book like this
But fairy tales should really be updated
It's a big, bright, beautiful world
I see it now, I'll let it in
I'll tear down a wall and clear a spot for two
To be with you

This Is Our Story

I am happy.
This is my story.

You laugh at all my jokes.
Even though they're crude.
You don't mind that I'm not classy.

We are ogres.

I'm AN AIRES!
we're a giant Whitman sampler here to try

We are puppets
we are rabbits
we are hobbits with bad habits
we're a screwy but delighted crazy stew
we are different
and united
you are us
and we are you

This is our story
this is our story
this is our story

GOD BLESS US EVERYONE!

The End

More To The Story
by Shrek The Musical Cast

This is by the book
A picture perfect bride
I got my happy ending
In a fairy tale the not must get tied
This is what I dreamed
Finally it's real
I knew what I would look like
But I never thought how I might feel

And there's more more more to the story
What you so often read
Isn't always so
There's more more to the story
Now I know

Every princess is a beauty
Every dragon must be cruel
Big goes with bad
And royal goes with duty
We play our parts
We follow every rule

This is by the book
I knew it from the start
The ogre tries to hurt you
But I never knew they meant in the heart
And there's more more more to the story
What you so clearly see
Isn't' always so
There's more more to the story
Now I know, now I know

What you so fondly told
Isn't always so
There's more more to the story

Now I know this is by the book
I got my happy ending

Forever
by Shrek The Musical Cast

Verse 1:
Another day inside my keep
I get no rest, I get no sleep
'cause when I start to count my sheep
You come around
[I-I'll just come back a little later than, okay?]

I draw my shades and lock my doors
Still you come for what ain't yours
Like a hound dog on all fours
You sniff around and around and around

Chorus:
You're gonna stay
You're gonna stay
You're gonna stay
Forever
Forever
[ I wish I could stay but forever sounds like a long time, and uh I got a hair appointment]

Verse 2:
Another knight, another name ( Backup: Another name)
But all in all you're all the same (You're all the same)
Foolish moth you want the flame that you fly around.
The siren calls you from her beach (ooooo, woo woo)
That pretty girl, that perfect peach (ooooo, woo woo)
She is always out of reach (ooooo, no)
but I am around and around and around

Chours:
You're gonna stay (You're gonna stay)
You're gonna stay (You're gonna stay)
You're gonna stay
[Hey not so close, now watch my tail]
Forever (Forever)
Forever
[You've got some reall boundary issues you know that?]

You think I like this job?
I'm a glorified babysitter (baby, babysitter)
No one wants to rescue me. So yeah I'm a little bitter
So yeah, I'm a little bitter
I'm not princess, no great beauty
No one ever, ever, ever, ever wants me
(You made her mad)
Rescue me
(You're gonna die)
Come on baby and rescue me
(Don't even try to come around round and round round and round round and round)
Oh round and around and around and around and around and around and around and around

[Wait a minute now hold on, now I've got something to say here]
[First of all, I am not a Knight, I'm a donkey. ]
[And if you don't know that by now you nee to get your eyes checked]
[Secondly, that princess is not even my type, you know why?]

{Donkey Sings}

I like a big, big girl
I like a big, big girl
[Help me out boys]
(He likes a big, big girl)
(He likes a big, big girl)
And as for you, I think you're bluffin'
Stompin' around all huffin' and puffin'
You want to love stop with the hatin'
(Unchain your heart)
He's out there waiting
(He likes a big, big girl)
(He likes a big, big girl)
[Well I hope you learned something valuable today]
[Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way]

[What's wrong with you, you got something in your eye?]
{Dragon Sings}
I'm no princess, still he wants me [laugh]
No great beauty, but he wants me [say what?]
No one ever, ever, ever, ever wanted me
so

You're gonna stay
You're gonna stay
You're gonna stay
Forever [Wasn't talking about me specifically]
I'm gonna love you Forever
You're gonna stay with me
Forever more
You're gonna love
Me
