Lyrics
Fiona: There are things you don't know. You know, about me, about how rough I had it
Shrek: What, in that cushy tower of yours?
Fiona: Cushy? Are you kidding?
I had nothing, in that tower
Fighting boredom by the hour!
Princess Lonely, walking circles
I had only...
Bare essentials
Army cot
A hot plate and chamber pot
And every morning I would boil it
No choice, I had no toilet!
Just a view of devastation
Out one window, isolation
In my bedroom
And very little headroom
Twenty years, I sat and waited
I'm very dedicated
On the walls the days were added
Luckily, those walls were padded!
So...
I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat
Shrek: (spoken) Oh, you think so? That was a sad story, but
I've heard better, I'm just saying
'A' for effort, thanks for playing
Sad to see a princess suffer
But I had it rougher
Like that time a mob with torches burned my britches
See the scorches
You're just whiney
I had a flaming hiney!
As I fled I had to wonder
If I were torn asunder
Would an ogre go to heaven
Did I mention I was seven?
So...
I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I got you beat
I think I got you beat.
Fiona: No warm regards
Shrek: No Christmas cards
Fiona: And every day
Shrek: Was Hell on Earth day
Fiona: (spoken) Okay, top this!
I missed my prom!
Shrek: My dad and mom sent me away
It was my birthday
Fiona: (spoken) I was sent away on Christmas Eve
Ha ha!
Fiona: Bare essentials, army cot, a hot plate and a chamber pot. Shrek: No warm regards
Fiona: And every morning, I would boil it. No choice, I had no toilet! Shrek: No Christmas cards
