Shrek The Musical Cast - I Know It's Today Lyrics

YOUNG FIONA,
(Spoken)
Settle in girls. It's story time!

(Sung)
Theres a princess
In a tower
Oh my gosh, thats just like me
Poor Rapunzel
Needs a haircut
But the witch wont set her free
She passes time by singing
Like someone else I know
As years go by she sits and waits
As years go by? Uh oh
A torturous existence
I dont remember this part!
She wishes she were dead?
Skip ahead skip ahead!
But in the end Rapunzel finds a millionaire
The prince is good at climbing and braiding golden hair!

So I know, hell appear
Cause there are rules and there are strictures
I believe the storybooks I read by candlelight
My white knight, and his steed
Will look just like these pictures!
It wont be long now, I guarantee!
Day number23.
I know its today
I know its today

TEENSAGE FIONA:
(Spoken)
Oh here's a good one! It's a classic!

(Sung)
Theres a princess
In a comma
Glad its her instead of me.
Pretty maiden
In a glass box
How I wonder does she pee?
Blah blah blah, poison apple
Boring boring evil queen
Filler filler, been there, read that!
Seven shorties on the scene.
Skip ahead, skip ahead
But in the end the princess wakes up with a start
The prince is good at kissing
And melting Snow Whites heart!

So I know, hell appear
And his armor will be blinding!
As shining as his perfect teeth
And manly Hose
Hell propose
On one knee
And our prenupt will be binding!
About time we set the wedding date!
Day number958.
I know its today.
Hell show up today....


FIONA:
...ay...
Theres a princess
Any princess
Take your pick, theyre all like me
Not exactly, Im still waiting
theyre living happily
Ever after better get here
I want love in seconds flat
No one needs these middle bits
Oops, did I do that?

Cut the villains, cut the vamping
Cut this fairytale
Cut the peril and the pitfalls
Cut the puppet and the whale
Cut the monsters, cut the curses
Keep the intro, cut the verses
And the waiting, the waiting, the waiting, the waiting
The waiting!

But I know, hell appear
Though I seem a bit bipolar
And Im a vandal now as well, though he wont mind
Im a find, Im a catch
And a very gifted bowler!
It wont be long now, I guarantee!
Day number

Are you there God?
Its me Fiona

ALL FIONAS:
Its me Fiona!

Now I know, hell appear
Cause there are rules and there are strictures
I believe the storybooks I read by candlelight
My white knight, my knight and his steed
Will look just like these pictures!
It wont be long now, I guarantee!
