This Is Our Story - Sutton Foster, Brian D'Arcy James, Shrek Ensemble

I waited all my life

Lived it by the book

Now I know that’s not my story

You take me as I am

Love me as I look

Standing here in all my glory

I am sweetness, I am bratty

I’m a princess, I’m a fatty

I’m a mess of contradictions in a dress

I am sassy, I am sappy

When I’m with you I am happy

This is my story

You laugh at all my jokes even though they’re crude

You don’t mind that I’m not classy

We make a perfect pair, radiant and rude

So in love and much too gassy

We are ogres, we are scary

We are donkeys, we are hairy

We have bold and brand new stories to be told

We will write them, we will tell them

You will hear them, you will smell them

This is our story

And that is how the little ogre came

To live on the swamp with a beautiful princess

And his best friend

And his best friend

And a gingerbread man

And a very handsome puppet

And an elf

And a fairy godmother

And a witch

And a cross dressin' wolf

And three pigs

What makes us special?

What makes us special?

What makes us special?

What makes us special?

Makes us strong

We are witches, we are fairies

We are weirdos

I’m an Aries

We’re a giant different sampler here to try

We are puppets, we are rabbits

We are hobbits with bad habits

We’re a screwy but delighted crazy stew

We are different and united

You are us and we are you

This is our story, this is our story

This is our story

God bless us, everyone

The end
