Shrek: The Musical Soundtrack Lyrics
Shrek and Cast - Big Bright Beautiful World Lyrics
[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 Papa packed your boots in case of snow.
[Both:]
You're gonna make us proud. No backing up allowed!
[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 fuss.
[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 tread.
[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.
Adventure's at every turn! Dragons 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 fated 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.
WO [Man:]
Not so close my darling, dear, He may bight your little hand.
You must never trust on ogre. I hope you understand.
WOMEN,
He'll grind you bones with a brick, 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 existince.
Its a horrible life. It's a terrible,
never ending hidious tale of despair.
(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 looked 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! All alone,
it's mine! And it's mine. All mine!
