Once upon a time,
there was a little
ogre named Shrek...
...who lived with his parents
in a bog by a tree.
It was a pretty nasty place,
but he was happy
because ogres like nasty.
On his birthday, the little ogre's
parents sat him down to talk,
just as all ogre parents had
for hundreds of years before.
Listen, son
You're growing up so quickly
Growing up
Bigger by the day
Although we want you here
The rules are very clear
- Now you're seven
- Now you're seven
- So it's time to go away
- So it's time to go away
Your mama packed a sandwich
for your trip
Your papa packed your boots
in case of snow
- You're gonna make us proud
- You're gonna make us proud
- No backing up allowed
- No backing up allowed
- Just keep walking
- Just keep walking
- And you'll find
- And you'll find
- Somewhere to go
- Somewhere to go
- It's a big, bright, beautiful world
- It's a big, bright, beautiful world
- With happiness all around
- With happiness all around
- It's peaches and cream
- It's peaches and cream
- And every dream comes true
- And every dream comes true
- But not for you
- But not for you
- It's a big, bright, beautiful world
- It's a big, bright, beautiful world
- With possibilities everywhere
- With possibilities everywhere
- And just around the bend
- And just around the bend
- There's a friend or two
- There's a friend or two
- But not for you
- But not for you
We're ugly, son
Which means that life is harder
No, no, no!
People hate the things
They cannot understand
And when they look at us
They tend to make a fuss
Burn our houses down
And chase us
- Off our land
- Off our land
It's 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
- If you don't, son
- Then you'll surely wind up dead
- Then you'll surely wind up dead
- Goodbye!
- Goodbye!
Watch out for men with pitchforks!
And so,
the little ogre went on his merry way.
And wherever he went,
crowds would welcome him
with festive torches and hatchets
and fun things like that.
But whenever the little ogre
tried to join in the fun...
...his new friends would suddenly
realize they had other things to do.
So the ogre did
what his parents had told him to.
He found a perfectly rancid swamp,
and there he stayed for many years,
all alone,
but very happy with how his life
had turned out.
Oh, come on. Not again. Aw...
Keep your big, bright,
beautiful world
I'm happy where I am, all alone
I've got all I need
So read the stinkin' sign!
Ow!
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 all teddy bears and unicorns
Take your fluffy fun
and shove it where the sun don't shine!
I prefer a life like this
It's not that complicated
Sure, I'm fated to be lonely
and I'm destined to be hated
If you read the books
they say it's why I was created
But I don't care
'Cause being liked
Is grossly overrated
Who needs
a big, bright, beautiful world?
I've got my own little patch
of the world
It's not a big, bright
beautiful world
But it's mine
All alone, it's mine
And it's mine
Yeah!
All mine!
Right this way!
- Aw!
- Ooh!
- Don't mind the mud.
- You'll get used to it.
This is not appropriate for wood.
I'm gonna bail
if we're in here for too long.
You know what? This bog...
- This place is a dump!
- It's awful.
- Take deep breaths, brother.
- He has panic attacks.
- This little piggy needs some Paxil.
