Intro: Mama: Listen son, you’re growing up so quick - ly. Growing up, bigger by the day. Papa: Although we want you here, the rules are very clear! Mama: Now you’re seven, Papa: Now you’re seven. Both: So its time to go away. Papa: Your mama packed a sandwich for your trip Mama: Your papa packed your boots incase of snow Both: You’re gonna make us proud; no backing up allowed Mama: Just keep walking Papa: 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 ev’ry dream comes true But not for you It’s a big bright beautiful world With possibilities ev’ry where And just a round the bend, There’s a friend or two But not for you! Mama: We’re ugly son, which means that life is harder People hate the things they cannot under - stand Papa: And when they look at us, they tend to make a fuss, Mama: Burn our houses down Papa: And chase us Both: Off our land Papa: Its important that you find a cozy cesspit, Mama: A place no one would ever dare to tread Both: And if they happen by, Make sure you terrify them Mama: If you don’t, son Papa: If you don’t, son Both: Then you’ll sure - ly wind up dead! Mama: Goodbye! Papa: Goodbye! Mama: Watch out for men with pitchforks! (Musical Interlude where Shrek grows up) Shrek: Keep your big bright beautiful world! I’m happy where I am All alone, I got what 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 a teddy bears and unicorns Take your fluffy fun and shove it where the sun don’t shine! I prefer a life like this; its not that complicated Sure I’m fated to be lonely and im destined to be hated If you read the books, they say it why I was created But I don’t care, cause bein’ liked, is grossly over-rated Who needs a big bright beautiful world Ive got my own little patch of the world Its not a big bright beautiful world But its mine All alone, its mine And its mine All Mine!
