SHREK (voice over):
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.
On his birthday the little ogres parents sat him down
to talk just as all ogre parents had for hundreds of years before.
MOTHER OGRE:
Listen son, youre growing up so quickly
Growing up, bigger by the day
FATHER OGRE:
Although we want you here, the rules are very clear
MOTHER OGRE:
Now youre seven
FATHER OGRE:
Now youre seven
OGRE PARENTS:
So its time to go away
FATHER OGRE:
Your Mama packed a sandwich for your trip
MOTHER OGRE:
Your Papa packed your boots in case of snow
OGRE PARENTS:
Youre gonna make us proud, no backing up allowed
MOTHER OGRE:
Just keep walking
FATHER OGRE:
Just keep hawking
OGRE PARENTS:
And youll find somewhere to go
Its a big, bright, beautiful world
With happiness all around
Its peaches and cream
And every dream comes true
But not for you
Its a big, bright, beautiful world
With possibilities everywhere
And just around the bend
Theres a friend or two
But not for you
MOTHER OGRE:
Were ugly son which means that life is harder
People hate the things they cannot understand
FATHER OGRE:
And when they look at us they tend to make a fuss
MOTHER OGRE:
Burn our houses down
FATHER OGRE:
And chase us
OGRE PARENTS:
Off our land
FATHER OGRE:
Its important that you find a cozy cesspit
MOTHER OGRE:
A place no one would ever dare to tread
OGRE PARENTS:
And if they happen by, make sure you terrify them
MOTHER OGRE:
If you dont son
FATHER OGRE:
If you dont son
OGRE PARENTS:
Then youll surely wind up dead
MOTHER OGRE:
Goodbye
FATHER OGRE:
Goodbye
MOTHER OGRE:
Watch out for men with pitchforks
SHREK (voice over):
And so, the little ogre went off and found a muddy patch of swamp land far,
far away from the world that despised him.
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
Im happy where I am, all alone
Ive got all I need
So read the stinkin sign, haha
Keep your big, bright, beautiful world
I party on my own anyway
Doing 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 dont shine
I prefer a life like this
Its not that complicated
Sure Im fated to be lonely
And Im destined to be hated
If you read the books they say
Thats why I was created
But I dont care
Coz being liked
Is grossly overrated
Who needs a big, bright, beautiful world
Ive got my own little patch on the world
Its not a big, bright, beautiful world
But its mine
Alone, its mine
And its mine
All mine!
I have never heard of Shrek The Musical but I love this song!
