Shrek The Musical Lyrics
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. Its 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 way 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!
Story of My Life Lyrics [Guard] (Spoken) Alright, when I call your name step forward. Pinocchio, the puppet. [Pinocchio] (Spoken) I'm not a puppet I'm a real boy. (Nose grows and he laughs) [Guard] (Spoken) That's your patch of mud down there. [Pinocchio] (Spoken) Oh, dopped on a swamp. Man, I tell you sometimes being a fairytale creature sucks pine sap. [Pinocchio] Life is disappointing, Whoa is what I know. Outted by my nose, That's just how it goes, For poor Pinocchio. Story of my life, 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. [Shoemaker's Elf] Strife is never ending. [Guard] (Spoken) Peter Pan! [Peter Pan] Banished from the town [Guard] (Spoken) Ugly Duckling! [Ugly Duckling] They dragged me from the pond. [Fairy Godmother] They pulled my magic wand. [The Three Little Pigs] They blew our condos down. [Guard]
(Spoken) Wicked Witch! [Wicked Witch] Life is but a witch hunt. [Mama Bear] Mama's in the mud, Mama's in distress. [Garden Gnome] They ridiculed my hat. [Three Little Pigs] They said that we were fat. [Big Bad Wolf] They tore my cotton granny dress, And called me a hot and tranny mess. [Guard] (Spoken) Sugar Plum Fairy! [All] Story of my life. Booted from ball Told to go away. [Humpty Dumpty] Tumbled off a wall [All] That's the story of my life. [Guard] (Spoken) You're late rabbit. [White Rabbit] That's the story of my life. [Guard] (Spoken) Have fun you guys [All] That's the story of my life. [Guard] (Spoken) And remember if we find you back in the kingdom you will be executed. [All] I always dreamed I'd get a happy ending.
[Wicked Witch] And this right here, Not how it goes. [All] I always dreamed I'd get an ever after. If this is it, It blows (x3) [Pinocchio] (Spoken) This is worse than that case of Dutch Elm Disease I caught in Tijuana. [All] Story of my life, All the wasted prayers. All the broken dreams. [The Three Bears] All the broken chairs. [All] All the damage done [The Three Bears] All the busted beds. [All] All the shattered falls [The Three Bears] Pourage on our heads. [All] That's the story of my life, yes sir. That's the story of my life, oi vei. That's the story of my, Life [Pinocchio] (Spoken) Crap!

I Know It's Today Lyrics YOUNG FIONA, (Spoken) Settle in girls. It's story time! Isn't this fun?

This is How A Dream Comes True Lyrics [Fiona] This is how a dream comes true. This is how I pictured him. Climbing in to rescue me. This was always mean to be. This is how a scene must go. Standing there the light just so. Then you smile and gaze at me. Take my hand on bended knee. Bended knee. Bended knee! So even though we only met. Somehow I always knew, it would look like this When dreams come true. [Donkey] Shrek! [Fiona] Hey, what are you doing? [Shrek] I have to save my ass. [Fiona] Easy im in heels! I've longed for this my whole life long. and now youre doing it all wrong! Got a rope a steed awaits. Thats what every story sates. Riding over rough terrain. Pass the dragon you have slayed. You have slayed you have slayed [Shrek] Its on my to do list. [Fiona] This is how I pictured it. More or less I must admit. Fluttering 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!
Who I'd Be Lyrics [Shrek] I thought 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, 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 dreamed I'd be a poet, Write a different story, One that told of glory, and wiped away the lies And to 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 my verse, Recite my joke, it'd fit in perfect timing. I'd share my heart, confess the things I learn, and do it all while rhyming. But then we learn. But then we learn. And Ogre always hides, an Ogre's fate is known And Ogre always stays in the dark and all alone So yes I'd be a hero and if my wish was granted My life would be enchanted, or so the stories say. Of course I'd be a hero, and I would scale a tower And save a hot-house flower, and carry her away But standing guard there'd be a beast, I'd somehow over whelm it, I'd get the girl, I'd take my 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 ogres fate is known. An ogre always stays [Donkey] In the dark and all alone [Fiona] All Alone (All at the same time) [Shrek] So yes i'd be a hero, and if my wish was granted my life would be enchanted or so the stories say. Of course id be a hero and I would scale a tower to save a haukhouse flower and carry her away! [Fiona] There are rules and there are strictures. I believe the story books i read by candle light [Donkey] Don't let me go, Don't let me go, Don't let me go [All] A perfect happy ending, thats how.... it.. should be!

I Think I Got You Beat FIONA: 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.

I think I got you beat I think I got you beat yeah, yeah yeeeaaahh, I think I got you beat I think I got you beat. SHREK: (spoken)Oh you think so. That was a sad story but 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 torchers burned my britches See the scorches You're just whiney I had a flaming hiney As I fled I had to wonder If I were torn asunder Would an ogre go to Heaven Did I mention I was seven? So... I think I got you beat. yeah, yeah, yeah

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.

When Words Fail Lyrics [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

Morning Person (Reprise) Lyrics [Fiona] Good morning dawn Good morning day Good morning Morning Dove I had a long and sleepless night Pondering true love My fairy tale I know so well Must somehow gone awry Looks may be deceiving but, Feelings cannot lie. Do I love him? Last night I was uncertain But this morning This morning This morning (Spoken) Shrek, thank goodness. There is something I have to tell you. [Shrek] You dont have to tell me anything I heard enough last night [Fiona] Oh, you heard what I said? [Shrek] Every word! Especially, Who could love such a hideous ugly beast?
Gonna Build A Wall Lyrics Shrek 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 come 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) Lyrics Shrek: It's a big bright beautiful world With happiness all around. Its 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 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 fairytales 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.
Finale Lyrics [Fiona] I waited all my life Lived it by the book Now i know that's not my story You take me as i am Love me as i look Standing here in all my glory I am sweetness I am bratty I'm a princess I'm a fatty I'm a mess of contradictions in a dress I am sassy I am sappy When i'm with you I am happy This is my story [Shrek] You laugh at all my jokes Even though they're crude You don't mind that i'm not classy [Shrek & Fiona] We make a perfect pair Radiant and rude So in love and much too gassy We are ogres We are scary We are donkeys We are hairy We have bold and brand new stories to be told We will write them We will tell them You will hear them You will smell them This is our story [spoken] ...and that is how the little ogre came To live on the swamp with a beautiful princessAnd his best friend!
And his best friend! And a gingerbread man! And a very handsome puppet! And an elf! And a fairy godmother! And a witch! And a cross dressin' wolf! And three pigs! [sung] What makes us special (what makes us special) What makes us special (what makes us special) Makes us strong We are witches We are fairies We are wierdos I'm an aries! We're a giant different 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 We 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 Lyrics Fiona: This is by the book A picture perfect bride I got my happy ending In a fairytale the knott must get tied This is what i dreamed Finally it's real I knew what i might look like But i never thought how i might feel And there's more More More to the story What you so often see 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 beauty 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
I'm a Believer Lyrics I thought love was only true in fairy tales Meant for someone else but not for me. Love was out to get me (dum dum dum dum dum) That's the way it seems (dum dum dum dum dum) Disappointment haunted all my dreams. And then I saw her face Now I'm a believer. Not a trace Of doubt in my mind. I'm in love (oooooo) I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried I thought love was more or less a given thing It seems the more I gave the less I got, Oh Yeah What's the use in trying All you get is pain When I needed sunshine I got rain And then I saw her face, Now i'm a believer. Not a trace Of doubt in my mind. I'm in love (oooooo) I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried (the love) love was out to get (dum dum dum dum dum) that`s the way it seems (dum dum dum dum dum) dissapointment haunted all my dreams And then I saw her face, Now I'm a believer.
