A Friendship Proposal
Developing Scarecrow Chapter 7
Notes: These original song lyrics are loosely based off of As Long As You're Mine from Wicked. Thank you to my friend Anna Dixon for helping me workshop these lyrics. In the universe of the Shrek play I was in with the Amato Center last summer these song lyrics represent the friendship that Scarecrow wants to form with the Wicked Witch.
We need to come together
for a common cause
but first we need to put aside
our differences and flaws
We were banished to the swamp
because Farquaad
saw our imperfections
We are united in
our feelings of rejection.
(Chorus)
We must stand strong
and stand up for our rights
all day and night long
Bridge
We started off as enemies long ago
I was full of fear and adverse to your flames
but now we march to the drummer
of a different name.
Let's march together
with pride
united for the cause the unites us
because in the end
I hope we can be friends.
Chorus repeat 2x
We have stormed the Duloc castle
and the battle has been won
Now I hope we can be friends
because together we can have a lot of fun.
