Listen son, you?re growing up so quick - ly.
Growing up, bigger by the day.
Although we want you here, the rules are very clear!
Now you?re seven,
Papa: Now you?re seven.
So its time to go away.
Your mama packed a sandwich for your trip
Your papa packed your boots incase of snow
You?re gonna make us proud; no backing up allowed
Just keep walking
Papa: Just keep walking
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!
We?re ugly son, which means that life is harder
People hate the things they cannot under - stand
And when they look at us, they tend to make a fuss,
Burn our houses down
And chase us
Off our land
Its important that you find a cozy cesspit,
A place no one would ever dare to tread
And if they happen by,
Make sure you terrify them
If you don?t, son
Papa: If you don?t, son
Then you?ll sure - ly wind up dead!
Goodbye!
Papa: Goodbye!
Watch out for men with pitchforks!
(Musical Interlude where Shrek grows up)
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!
