Soundtrack Album: Shrek
Swamp karaokу dance party Text
(Right after Donkey says "I can't breathe! I can't breathe!" after singing his version of "I'm a Believer" at the end of "Shrek", an iris opens, revealing Shrek holding a microphone.)

Shrek: Hi, everybody! And welcome to the "Shrek in the Swamp Karaoke Dance Party"! (Turn on his karaoke machine and gentle pop music starts playing) I'm gonna take things down a little bit, with one of my personal favorites.

(Shrek turns to Fiona and starts singing to her)

♪Don't go changing, to try and please me.♪

♪You've never let me down before. Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm.♪

(The music becomes more upbeat and the camera zooms away from Fiona as it flips upside down, with Fiona on her back singing with her own microphone.)

Fiona: ♪I made it through the wilderness.♪

(Camera switches to Pinocchio scratching two records with a DJ system, then back to Fiona.)

♪(Rolls over and lays on her stomach) You know I made it through.♪

(Camera cuts back to Pinocchio scratching two records with a DJ system, then back to Fiona.)

♪Didn't know how lost I was until I found you.♪

Donkey (Off-screen): Yeah!

(We switch over to Donkey wearing sunglasses, with Dragon swinging her tail behind Donkey to the rhythm.)

Donkey (Rapping): ♪I like big butts and I cannot lie! You other brothers can't deny!♪

♪And when a girl walks in with an itty-bitty waist and a round thing in your face, you get... (Dragon's tail whacks Donkey, sending him flying out of the shot.)♪

(The next shot has Thelonious singing with his own mic to the gentle music)

Thelonious: ♪Feelings.♪

(To the five trumpet blares, the next shot has Robin Hood and his merry men popping up from the bottom of the screen.)

Robin Hood: ♪It's fun to stay at the...♪

Robin Hood and his merry men: ♪Y-M-C-A!♪

Robin Hood: ♪(Winks at the screen during his closeup) It's fun to stay at the...♪

Robin Hood and his merry men: ♪Y-M-C-A, ay!♪

(Robin Hood slides on his knees and chuckles, then we switch to Gingy singing, with the Three Blind Mice singing backup.)

Gingerbread Man: ♪Do you really want to hurt me?♪

(Does a spin) Oh!

♪Do you really want to make me cry?♪

Three Blind Mice: ♪Ah, ah, ah, ah!♪

(We cut to Lord Farquaad holding a lit match while he's still inside Dragon's stomach)

Lord Farquaad (Panicking): Staying alive! Staying alive!

(We cut to outside, where Dragon holds Donkey's mic to her stomach)

Ho, ho, ho, ho!

Big Bad Wolf: ♪Who let the dogs out?♪

Three Little Pigs: ♪Who? Who, who, who?♪

Big Bad Wolf: ♪Who let the dogs out?♪

Three Little Pigs: ♪Who? Who, who, who?♪ (Yahoo!

Donkey: Say, get up! And dance to the music!

All Fairytale Creatures: ♪Dum-dum, dum-dum, ba-dum.♪

Donkey: Come on, everybody, now!

All: ♪Dance to the music!♪

Donkey: Aw, yeah!

All: ♪Dance to the music!♪

(Donkey chuckles, then we cut back to Pinocchio.)

Pinocchio: ♪All we need is a drummer!♪

(We cut to a dwarf holding Magic Mirror from behind him)

Magic Mirror: ♪For people who only need a beat.♪

Magic Mirror and Dwarf: ♪Yeah!♪

Donkey: (Pops up from the bottom of the screen) Hey, break it down, green girl!

(We cut to Fiona doing a killer drum solo)

Donkey (Off-screen): Thelonious, my man!

(The next shot has Thelonious singing with his own mic, this time with Gingy being held in his other hand.)

Thelonious: ♪I'm gonna add some bottom.♪

Gingerbread Man: ♪So that the dancers just won't hide!♪

Donkey (Off-screen): Yo, take it, Shrek!

(We see Shrek playing the pipe organ, with Snow White and Cinderella singing next to him.)

Shrek, Cinderella, and Snow White: ♪You might like to hear my organ.♪

Donkey: ♪I said ride Sally ride.♪

(We see Pinocchio DJing one last time, then we see Shrek and Fiona singing to each other, with Robin Hood in the background singing along with them.)

Shrek, Fiona, and Robin Hood: ♪I can't see me loving nobody but you, for all my life.♪

(The camera zooms out as the three sing the line, "for all my life". Then the camera starts slowly pulling away as the entire "Shrek" cast dances to the camera.)

All: ♪Dance to the music!♪

Donkey: Shrek, you ain't dancing, yet.

All: ♪Dance to the music!♪

Donkey: Aw, yeah!

(Then, the camera is above the characters' heads and pulls away into the sky during the final part of the song.)

All: ♪Dance to the music!♪

Donkey: Now, that's how I like it!

All: ♪Dance to the music!♪

Donkey: Everybody!

All: ♪Dance to the music! (So happy together)...♪

♪Dance to the music! (So happy together)...♪♪

(As the song ends, Donkey does a moonwalk right into Pinocchio)

(On the final note, the screen switches to a black background.)

Donkey (Voice-over): Hey, Pinocchio, you wanna watch that nose, man?

(Everyone laughs off-screen)
