(spoken)
Once upon a time, there was a little oger who lived with his parents in a bog by a tree.
It was a pretty nasty place. But he was happy, because ogers like filth.
On his birthday the little ogers parents sat him down to talk,
just as all oger parents did for hundereds of years before.

MOTHER,
Listen son,
You're growing up so quickly.
Growing up
Bigger by the day

FATHER,
Although we want you here
The rules are very clear.

MOTHER,
Now you're seven

FATHER,
Now you're seven.

BOTH,
So it's time
To go away...

FATHER
Your Mama packed a sandwich
for your trip

MOTHER,
Your Pap packed your boots
In case of snow

BOTH,
You're gonna make us proud
No backing up aloud!

MOTHER,
Just keep walking

FATHER,
Just keep walking

BOTH,
and you'll find
somewhere to go

It's a big bright beautiful world
with happieness all around
It's peaches and cream
and every dream comes true

But not for you

It's a big, bright, beautiful world
with possiblities everywhere
and just around the bend
there's a friend or two...
But not for you...

MOTHER,
You're ugly son
which means that life is harder
People hate the things
They cannot understand

FATHER,
and when they look at us
They tend to make a fus

MOTHER,
Burn our houses down

FATHER,
and chase us

BOTH,
Off our land

FATHER,
It's improtant that you find a cozzy cesspit.

MOTHER,
A place no oner would ever dare to dread.

BOTH,
and if they happen by
Make sure you terrify them

MOTHER,
If you don't son

FATHER,
If you don't son

BOTH,
Then you'll surely wind up dead.

MOTHER,
Good-bye!

FATHER,
Good-bye!

MOTHER,
Watch out for men with pitch-forks!

CHORUS,
Ba, ba, ba, ba
Ba, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Ba, ba, ba, ba
Ba, ba, ba, ba
Ba, ba, ba, ba
It's a big bright beautiful world
Adventures at every turn
Dragens and kings
and so many things to do

It's a big bright beautiful world
Just hop aboard
and find true love
For every little chap there's a captive onjunue.

MAN,
For everyone, everyone, everyone
Yes everyone.
Everyone, everyone...

(Spoken) But not for you...

MOTHER & FATHER,
We're telling you what we were told
It' not that complicated.
You're faited to be lonely
and you're destined to be hated

ALL,
If you read the books they say
That's why you were created

MOTHER,
But don't dispare

FATHER,
Don't dispare

BOTH,
'Cause happiness
is grossly over rated.

WOMAN,
Not so close my darling, dear.
He may bight your little hand
You must never trust on oger
I hope you understand

WOMEN,
He'll grind you bones for his break stick
Your head on a post
squeeze the jelly from your eyes
Jelly from your eyes
Jelly to

ALL,
spread upon his toast!

Its a pathetic existance
Its a horrible life
It's a terrible, never ending
Hidious tale of dispare

(Music cuts off.)
(Music kicks back in)

SHREK,
Its a big bright beautiful world
with happiness all around
Its leaches and cream
Like a dream come true

It's a big bright beautiful world
with moss and willow trees everywhere
what I wouldn't give to keep living like I do.

It's a big bright beautiful world
as far as I can see
Its paradise
My future looks bleak
But the freak has turned out just fine

Its a big bright beautiful world
Its a big bright beautiful world
Its a big bright beautiful world

And it's mine
Alone, it's mine

And it's mine
Oh, mine!
