Cinematic Adventures: Shrek

Sherwood Forest

Here's the next Shrek chapter with lyrics

The rays of the morning sun shined upon the cliff side as Princess Fiona finally emerged from the cave she inhabited the night before. Walking out of that very cave, the princess glanced toward the entire group who were still sleeping. Deciding to let them sleep in, she wandered off into the woods (a la Maria in 'The Sound of Music'). She made her way Snow White-like through the forest, marveling at the nature that surrounded her and began to sing.

Fiona (Sings):
[i]Good morning birds.[/i]
[i]Good morning trees![/i]
[i]Oh what a lovely day.[/i]
[i]The sun's so big,[/i]
[i]It hurt my eyes.[/i]
[i]But really – that's okay.[/i]

[i]A brand new day[/i]
[i]With things to do[/i]
[i]So many plans to make.[/i]
[i]I've had six cups[/i]
[i]Of coffee so[/i]
[i]I'm really wide awake![/i]

[i]I've always been a morning person.[/i]
[i]A morning girl – hooray![/i]

During the song, a blue bird flew toward a nearby branch to join in her song. The bluebird proceeded to whistle about, as the princess smiled and waltzed over belting 'Hooray' at a higher note. As the princess hit higher and higher notes, the bird twitted back struggling to not only keep up with her but mimicked her tune. Every challenging note, the bird strained to tweet higher. So overjoyed, Fiona sang louder and higher, holding that last horrible note. The bird trembled, its eyes bulged, it started to shake and convulse, while Fiona held her note...

*POP!*

The bird exploded in little blue feathers, nothing but its little legs perched upon the branch. Fiona was startled at first, eyeing guiltily toward the eggs the bird left behind in the nest. But then she shrugged and carefully picked up the three eggs, placing them in her basket. She only turned around very briefly when she noticed a deer, a buck, nibbling on some berries. She flitted over to it and sung.

Fiona (Sings):
[i]Good morning, Deer.[/i]
[i]Say have you heard,[/i]
[i]Today's my wedding day.[/i]

[i]I haven't met[/i]
[i]My husband yet,[/i]
[i]But I'm hopeful anyway.[/i]

[i]I'll wear a gown[/i]
[i]We'll have a ball[/i]
[i]And dance forever more.[/i]

[i](Dancing with the scared deer)[/i]
[i]He'll take me in[/i]
[i]His massive arms[/i]
[i]And spin me round the floor.[/i]

[i]I've always been a morning person![/i]
[i]A morning girl – [/i]

Fiona twirled the deer right off a cliff ('Oops!'). Having accidentally ripped off his antlers, she ditched them off the side.

Fiona (Sings):
[i]Hooray.[/i]

Suddenly, a rat scurried past Fiona from her left toward her right ('Huh.'). Intrigued, she spied another rat flying across ('Hmm...'). And just then, Pinkie Pie skipped on playing a pipe flute. Eventually, she collapsed along the ground completely exhausted.

"Hoo-wee... I got to lay off the sweets!" Pinkie sighed.

"Why, good morning Pinkie Pie!" Fiona greeted.

"Oh, good morning princess!"

"What are you doing?"

"I saw a bunch of rats following this Pied Piper guy a few nights ago when we first got here. I'm trying to get them to follow me, but... I can't quite get the tune right."
