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.
