Who I'd Be~Shrek

BEST SHREK SONG EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shrek]
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.

Or I could be a poet,
and write a different story:
One that tells of glory
and wipes 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 hothouse 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
An ogre always stays in the dark

[Donkey]
You're all alone

[Shrek and Fiona]
All alone

[Fiona]
So I know
He'll appear
Cuz 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 hothouse flower
And carry her away

[Donkey]
You need a pal
My calendar's open
You need a friend
You need me

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

Don't let me go~Shrek

One of THE BEST Shrek Songs Ever.

DONKEY:
Hey, hey, hey! You gotta let me go with you!
You don't know what it's like to be considered a freak!
Well maybe you do.
But that’s why we gotta stick together!
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, wha-wha-what, 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!
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!
So what do you say? You’re not responding...
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,
Stern and Trang,
Like Eng and Chang, attached at the hip
But not an old lady hip that might break
I’m gonna be on you like a fat kid on cake!

DONKEY (spoken):
Like Cupid and Psyche, like pop rocks and Mikey,
we’ll stick together like that Velcro stuff, I’m the fuzzy side; you’ll be the spiky.
Ooh! Like little kids and pajamas with those funny things at the bottom, you know, feeties.
Like donuts and… oh, what goes with donuts?

DONKEY:
Donuts and diabetes!

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 me go, Go! Go! Don't let me g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-go!

I know it's today~Shrek

YOUNG FIONA,
(Spoken)
Settle in girls. It's story time! Isn't this fun? It's like a sleep over,
but instead of a pillow fight, there is an insane dragon who incenterates things.
Now where were we? Oh right,

(Sung)
There’s a princess
In a tower
Oh my gosh, that’s just like me
Poor Rapunzel
Needs a haircut
But the witch won’t 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 don’t 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, he’ll 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 won’t be long now, I guarantee!
Day number…23.
I know its today
I know its today

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

(Sung)
There’s a princess
In a coma
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 White’s heart!

So I know, he’ll appear
And his armor will be blinding!
As shining as his perfect teeth
And then repose
He’ll propose
On one knee
And our prenupt will be binding!
About time we set the wedding date!
Day number…958.
I know it's today.
He’ll show up today....


FIONA:
...ay...
There’s a princess
Any princess
Take your pick, they’re all like me
Not exactly, I’m still waiting
they’re 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, he’ll appear
Though I seem a bit bipolar
And I’m a vandal now as well, though he won’t mind
I’m a find, I’m a catch
And a very gifted bowler!
It won’t be long now, I guarantee!
Day number…

Are you there God?
It’s me Fiona…

ALL FIONAS:
It’s me Fiona!

Now I know, he’ll 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 won’t be long now, I guarantee!

YOUNG FIONA
Day number 23

TEENAGE FIONA
Day number 958

FIONA:
Day number 4823

YOUNG FIONA
I know its today, oooo

TEENAGE FIONA
I know its today, oooo

FIONA,
I know its today, oooo

YOUNG FIONA
I know its today, oooo

TEENAGE FIONA
I know its today, oooo

FIONA,
I Know it's today

ALL FIONAS,
I know it's today!

This is our story~Shrek the Musical

[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

[SHREK, FIONA, & DONKEY]
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 by Shrek]
...And that is how the little ogre came to live on the swamp with a beautiful princess-

[Donkey butts in]
AND his best friend!

[Shrek correcting himself]
AND his best friend!

[Fairytale Creatures joining in]
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 the three pigs!

[Sung by all]
What makes us special
(What makes us special)
What makes us special
(What makes us special)
What make us special makes us strong!

We are witches
We are fairies
We are weirdos

[Shouted by Pinocchio]
I'm AN AIRES!

[All Singing]
We're a giant Whitman’s sampler here to try

We are puppets
We are rabbits
We are hobbits with bad habits
We're a screwy but reliant 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

[Gingy shouting]
GOD BLESS US EVERYONE!

[Sung by all]
THEEEEEEE EEEEENNND!!!

great.

Well, in rehearsal yesterday, something somewhat unfortunate happened. So on the Saturday before yesterday, I got an okay flapper dress for the musical. It fit all right; it only needed a few alterations, and the colors weren't that terrible. They weren't the best colors in the world, but they defenitely could be worse. I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me, so I put it on a hanger and put a tag with my name on it on the hanger and put it in on the rack for the dresses that needed alterations. So yesterday, I went to rehearsal and the dress that I had tried on the week before was on another girl's hanger and probably altered to her measurements. What's worse is that there was only one spare dress that's the color of a peanut that has a little mold on it. Kind of a gross light grey-brown-purple. And it has black fringe. I don't know who would put a dark accent on a light colored dress, but someone did. What's even worse is that it was at least six inches too big on me in every direction and I had to stand for like an hour to get it taken in. What's even WORSE is that the fabric is kind of fraying on some parts. Like, obviously fraying. It is THE most annoying thing EVER.
