[00:00:00] Overture -ORIGINAL CAST RECORDING

[00:00:05] SHREK (voice over):

[00:00:06] Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek,

[00:00:07] who lived with his parents in a bog by a tree.

[00:00:14] It was a pretty nasty place but he was happy because ogres like nasty.

[00:00:15] On his birthday the little ogre’s parents sat him down

[00:00:25] to talk just as all ogre parents had for hundreds of years before.

[00:00:27] MOTHER OGRE:

[00:00:43] Listen son, you’re growing up so quickly

[00:00:45] Growing up, bigger by the day

[00:00:45] FATHER OGRE:

[00:00:46] Although we want you here, the rules are very clear

[00:01:11] MOTHER OGRE:

[00:01:21] Now you’re seven

[00:01:21] FATHER OGRE:

[00:01:22] Now you’re seven

[00:01:22] OGRE PARENTS:

[00:01:23] So it’s time to go away

[00:01:31] FATHER OGRE:

[00:01:31] Your Mama packed a sandwich for your trip

[00:01:32] MOTHER OGRE:

[00:01:33] Your Papa packed your boots in case of snow

[00:01:33] OGRE PARENTS:

[00:01:34] You’re gonna make us proud, no backing up allowed

[00:01:35] MOTHER OGRE:

[00:01:35] Just keep walking

[00:01:36] FATHER OGRE:

[00:01:36] Just keep hawking

[00:01:37] OGRE PARENTS:

[00:01:37] And you’ll find somewhere to go

[00:01:38] It’s a big, bright, beautiful world

[00:01:39] With happiness all around

[00:01:39] It’s peaches and cream

[00:01:40] And every dream comes true

[00:01:41] But not for you

[00:01:42] It’s a big, bright, beautiful world

[00:01:43] With possibilities everywhere

[00:01:44] And just around the bend

[00:01:45] There’s a friend or two

[00:01:45] But not for you

[00:01:47] MOTHER OGRE:

[00:01:51] We’re ugly son which means that life is harder

[00:01:52] People hate the things they cannot understand

[00:01:53] FATHER OGRE:

[00:01:55] And when they look at us they tend to make a fuss

[00:01:56] MOTHER OGRE:

[00:02:04] Burn our houses down

[00:02:05] FATHER OGRE:

[00:02:06] And chase us

[00:02:07] OGRE PARENTS:

[00:02:07] Off our land

[00:02:07] FATHER OGRE:

[00:02:08] It’s important that you find a cozy cesspit

[00:02:09] MOTHER OGRE:

[00:02:09] A place no one would ever dare to tread

[00:02:10] OGRE PARENTS:

[00:02:11] And if they happen by, make sure you terrify them

[00:02:22] MOTHER OGRE:

[00:02:22] If you don’t son

[00:02:23] FATHER OGRE:

[00:02:23] If you don’t son

[00:02:24] OGRE PARENTS:

[00:02:24] Then you’ll surely wind up dead

[00:02:25] MOTHER OGRE:

[00:02:25] Goodbye

[00:02:25] FATHER OGRE:

[00:02:26] Goodbye

[00:02:26] MOTHER OGRE:

[00:02:26] Watch out for men with pitchforks

[00:02:31] SHREK (voice over):

[00:02:31] And so, the little ogre went off and found a muddy patch of swamp land far,

[00:02:33] far away from the world that despised him.

[00:02:45] There he stayed for many years,

[00:02:48] tucked away and all alone, which was just the way he liked it.

[00:02:53] SHREK:

[00:02:58] Keep your big, bright, beautiful world

[00:02:59] I’m happy where I am, all alone

[00:03:00] I’ve got all I need

[00:03:00] So read the stinkin’sign, haha

[00:03:01] Keep your big, bright, beautiful world

[00:03:02] I party on my own anyway

[00:03:02] Doing what I can with a one man conga line

[00:03:13] Yeah, your big, bright, beautiful world

[00:03:15] Is all teddy bears and unicorns

[00:03:17] Take your fluffy fun

[00:03:33] And shove it where the sun don’t shine

[00:03:34] I prefer a life like this

[00:03:35] It’s not that complicated

[00:03:38] Sure I’m fated to be lonely

[00:03:39] And I’m destined to be hated

[00:03:40] If you read the books they say

[00:03:40] That’s why I was created

[00:03:41] But I don’t care

[00:03:41] Coz being liked

[00:03:54] Is grossly overrated

[00:03:54] Who needs a big, bright, beautiful world

[00:03:55] I’ve got my own little patch on the world

[00:03:57] It’s not a big, bright, beautiful world

[00:03:58] But it’s mine

[00:04:02] Alone, it’s mine

[00:04:04] And it’s mine

[00:04:06] All mine!
