Yeah she's amazing since in the musical & movie she's my favorite character if she was real I would be delighted because she is one my favorite other then donkey & puss in boots .
Daydreamers Club The thing is, in the dressing rooms, the speakers were HORRIBLE and would crackle and practically blow out whenever our Dragon sang. Don't get me wrong, her voice was amazing, but that's the version I'd get stuck in my head: distorted.
This is one of those few instances where the tour replacement is better than the original song. I always hated Donkey Pot Pie -- it's catchy, sure, but the lyrics are so stupid they make my head hurt. Nearly every single rhyme was forced and unnatural, and while what it lacked in emotion it could have made up for with humor, the whole thing was just painfully unfunny. Plus, having a whole chorus play a single character was just confusing. Forever, on the other hand, is a gorgeous and powerful belter with lyrics that are emotionally complex and not just nonsense. Dragon is one of my dream roles because of it.
I agree. When we played Shrek in High School we had a girl who played the dragon and she sang forever so beautifully, it was amazing! I started loving this song even more because of her! And I hate Donkey Pot Pie, too! It's the only song of the Broadway version that I don't like!
Marissa HV same here we did shrek in middle school and the one who played dragon sang it amazingly and maybe even better than this. And plus she sang it all ALONE
Donkey Pot Pie was honestly confusing to listen to. If I didn’t know any better, I’d have thought their iteration of Dragon had three heads or something with how different the voices sounded from each other.
Another day inside my keep I get no rest, I get no sleep ‘cause when I start to count my sheep You come around [Donkey: I-I’ll just come back a little later than, okay?] I draw my shades and lock my doors Still you come for what ain’t yours Like a hound dog on all fours You sniff around and around and around Chorus: You’re gonna stay You’re gonna stay You’re gonna stay Forever Forever [ I wish I could stay but forever sounds like a long time, and uh I got a hair appointment] Verse 2: Another knight, another name ( Backup: Another name) But all in all you’re all the same (You’re all the same) Foolish moth you want the flame that you fly around.

We're doing this in my school, and im so excited, the girl singing for the dragon is so talented. Our dragon puppet is rlly cool and looks almost exactly like the one in the movie ( smaller of course lol) it has a whole body, theres gonna be dancing skeletons around the theater IM SO EXCITED
I actually watched my sibling's school musical yesterday and it was this I really liked the dragon scene cause the dragon puppet looked really cool. And the singer was really good
My school district did shrek the musical this summer and this was by far my most favorite song. I prefer this over donkey pot pie, this shows a different side to dragons story and it has such powerful vocals and it’s just amazing in general. I’m in love with this song and with how our dragon sang this song. So amazing
First time I heard this number I laughed so hard I damn near choked. Most especially when she took that huge audible gulp of air at the end before belting out "Meeeeee!!!". OMG!!! 😂😂😂 Love love *LOVE* that it's a huge Dreamgirls parody.
It took me 3 years, in my school we did the jr version but it still includes the song and I have just realized it hahaha, I was like: wait a damn minute: I know that epic ending lol
may someone please explain to me why there are two song versions for the dragon??? like i love this song and when i watched the original broadway performance it was the donkey pot pie and i was very sad
It got changed once it left Broadway, because the people who wrote weren't satisfied with it. Donkey Pot Pie is the original song, and Forever is the replacement.
Donkey Pot Pie and the dragon sequence were the weakest parts of the Broadway production, and the producers knew it because they kept changing it around. I watched the DVD Broadway version first and for the first time with a Broadway musical I thought 'wtf is this?'. They were right to scrap it and change it to this. One person singing, one scaled dragon puppet that moves and has a character bop to the music and much more depth in the lyrics, which makes her a better character. When I saw this here in the UK, this sequence went from the worst to one of the best.
Another day inside my keep I get no rest, I get no sleep 'Cause when I start to count my sheep You come around (I'll just come back a little later then, okay?)

I remember watching the broadway when it was on in Sydney in 2020. They played this song instead of Donkey Pot Pie. I like it, it kind of makes the dragon a more sympathetic character, not just another mindless beast.
Its a good song, but i so prefer donkey pot pie tbh. Yes this is a nice song, but donkey pot pie has so many levels and depth to it. Donkey Pot Pie was a better song for donkey as well, I hate the bit he sings in this ngl..
All these people saying that this song is their favorite, and then there's me, like, "Hi. I'm pit. This song was a damn nightmare since _MY TEAM BAILED ON ME_ "
Another day inside my keep, I get no rest I get no sleep, because when I start to count my sheep, you come around. I draws my shades and lock my doors still you come for what ain't yours like a hound dog on all fours. You come around, around, and around
i have a tryout for shrek the musical, i sang this song so much today that my voice is raspy and my my said no more singing! good thing my tryouts are not tomorrow!
White CD Basically they didn’t write this song until after the soundtrack was recorded. When the show closed on Broadway they removed Donkey Pot Pie and wrote Forever, which has been in every production since. Although this recording Forever was later released as a bonus track on the original cast recording
No because the "round and around and around and around and a - " with the backing vocals and everything??? My favorite part. My whole favorite song.
the dragon in my cast is so great that this has been stuck in my head for two days
Yeah she's amazing since in the musical & movie she's my favorite character if she was real I would be delighted because she is one my favorite other then donkey & puss in boots .
+PxstelBerry you'r lucky if I did the musical I'd be the dragon/dragona
Yep. I have the same problem, when it's not freak Flag or Story of My Life.
atticusjackson100 All the songs get stuck in my haed

TYSM
The girl who plays the dragon at my school has an amazing voice and powerful vocal chords
We're doing this in my school, and im so excited, the girl singing for the dragon is so talented. Our dragon puppet is rlly cool and looks almost exactly like the one in the movie ( smaller of course lol) it has a whole body, theres gonna be dancing skeletons around the theater IM SO EXCITED
omg im auditioning for it tomorrow
Lmao we don't even have a dragon puppet cause our directors didn't want it taking the attention away from out actual dragon, who is a dead set legend
I actually watched my sibling's school musical yesterday and it was this
I really liked the dragon scene cause the dragon puppet looked really cool. And the singer was really good
We just finished our performances and this was one of my fave songs! We didn’t have a puppet only a person but the song was so awesome!!
THAT SOUNDS SO COOL
Doing this piece for my assessment piece. Only year 10 though, and it's a really hard piece to do, but so far, I'm going good.
How'd it go??
Friendship ended with donkey pot pie forever is my new best friend.
I'm trying out for dragon wish me luck
Alyssa Avila break legs
Alyssa Avila sameeeeee
Alyssa Avila hope it went well
How did it go? I auditioned for donkey too and got it, we start rehearsals in 2 and a half weeks
did u get it
I was cast as a dragon for my school and this song is so fun I miss it already
I'm gonna audition for the dragon... wish me luck!
I love how everyone is showing their appreciation for the dragons in their show
I love 'Donkey Pot Pie', but this song is SO amazing, I could care less that they replaced the original with this
My school district did shrek the musical this summer and this was by far my most favorite song. I prefer this over donkey pot pie, this shows a different side to dragons story and it has such powerful vocals and it’s just amazing in general. I’m in love with this song and with how our dragon sang this song. So amazing
First time I heard this number I laughed so hard I damn near choked. Most especially when she took that huge audible gulp of air at the end before belting out "Meeeeee!!!". OMG!!! 😂😂😂 Love love *LOVE* that it's a huge Dreamgirls parody.
I freaking knew I wasn’t the only one who thought the ending sounded similar to dream girls and I’m telling you lol.
Finally a musical song that actually really fits my vocal range
You must have an incredible range!
Anyone spot the dream girls referance👀 👌🏼
Andy Ex yesss
Andrew Exeter Bruh, I did!
YAS
always
It took me 3 years, in my school we did the jr version but it still includes the song and I have just realized it hahaha, I was like: wait a damn minute: I know that epic ending lol
BRUH THE “Staaaaaaay-ayyyy-ayyyyyyy-!” HAS ME ON LOOP
This was one of my favorite songs to play when my school did this musical
Man you'r lucky I want to do that but my role would be the dragon my nickname for her is dragona since she's a female & a dragon.
I love that probably half the people here are crying for help with this song because this is their role
This was everyone who was in the orchestra favorite piece
We all liked it so much we didn't even need to count we just knew when to come in
may someone please explain to me why there are two song versions for the dragon??? like i love this song and when i watched the original broadway performance it was the donkey pot pie and i was very sad
It got changed once it left Broadway, because the people who wrote weren't satisfied with it. Donkey Pot Pie is the original song, and Forever is the replacement.
1:57 is where the song gets good
Forever is better than donkey pot pie . Period .
My school just announced there doing this for the musical! This is amazing and for my senior part I wouldnt mind being dragon
This should of really been in the place of donkey pot pie
Forever is 1000% better than Donkey Pot Pie😫 the fact that there’s no professional recording kills me☹️
SAME
it's on itunes dawg
@@bluebottle9555it’s not :(
Donkeys into the thicc ones, nuff said

I am the dragon in my musical, it's amazing!
I'm Shrek in mine. I bet you did amazing
I loved singing this so much omg ❤
I guess I should take it as a compliment that she wants me to be the dragon in the upcoming musical? 😂
My theatre company is doing Shrek in a few days, and I can't stop bloody singing this! This song is so good!
My school is doing this play and I'm a Duloc Guard, but this song is amazing to hear on stage.
Shrek original Broadway Cast recording
This by far the best song from Shrek The Musical!!! Not a fan of Donkey pot pie though.
Awsome song from sherk the musical
dalek bieber sherk😂😂😂 im dying
This is about a million times better than Donkey Pot Pie in every single way 👌
Another day inside my keep

You come around
(I'll just come back a little later then, okay?)
I draw my shades and lock my doors
Still, you come for what ain't yours
Like a hound dog on all fours
You sniff around and around and around
You're gonna stay, you're gonna stay
You're gonna stay forever
(I wish I could stay, but forever sounds like a long time)
Forever (And... I got a hair appointment!)
Another knight, another name (Another name)
But all in all, you're all the same (You're all the same)
Foolish moth, you want that flame
That you fly around
The siren calls you from her beach (Ooh, woo-woo)
That pretty girl, that perfect peach (Ooh, woo-woo)
She is always out of reach (Ooh, no)
But I am around and around and around
You're gonna stay (You're gonna stay)
You're gonna stay (You're gonna stay)
You're gonna stay forever (Forever)
(Hey, not so close! And watch my tail!)
Forever (Forever)
(You got some real boundary issues, you know that?)
You think I like this job?
I'm a glorified babysitter (Baby, babysitter)
No one wants to rescue me
So yeah, I'm a little bitter
I'm not princess, no great beauty
No one ever, ever, ever, ever wants me
(You made her mad)
Rescue me (You're gonna die)
Come on baby, and rescue me, oh (Don't even try to come around)
'Round and around and around
And around and around and around
And around and around and a
Baby, hold on
Now, I got somethin' to say here
First of all, I am not a knight, I'm a donkey
And if you don't know that by now, you need to get your eyes checked
Secondly, that princess is not even my type! You know why?
I like a big, big girl
I like a big, big girl
Help me out, boys!
(He likes a big, big girl)
(He likes a big, big girl)
And as for you, I think you're bluffin'

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way
What's wrong with you? You got somethin' in your eye?
I'm no princess, but he wants me
No great beauty, but he wants me (Say what?)
No one ever, ever, ever, ever wanted me, so
You're gonna stay, you're gonna stay
You're gonna stay forever
(I wasn't talking about me specifically!)
I'm gonna love you forever, oh-oh
You're gonna stay with me forevermore
You're gonna love me
Who else is trying out for dragon and for dragon listening to do this song like 24/7.
I didn't seen Shrek the musical and i didn't seen it when I was so young in my old school
So catchy! I love it!!
Julianne Crider same! Even though I'm one of the backup singers in the play, I can't help but sing the dragon's part!
This song is so clever. I definitely enjoy it more than Donkey Pot pie And could listen to the chorus for eternity.
Saw my cousin's high school production of Shrek the Musical and this song definitely stole the show.
this is for the people who need the lyrics ;;

Chorus:
You’re gonna stay
You’re gonna stay
You’re gonna stay
Forever
Forever
[ I wish I could stay but forever sounds like a long time, and uh I got a hair appointment]
Verse 2:
Another knight, another name ( Backup: Another name)
But all in all you’re all the same (You’re all the same)
Foolish moth you want the flame that you fly around.
The siren calls you from her beach (ooooo, woo woo)
That pretty girl, that perfect peach (ooooo, woo woo)
She is always out of reach (ooooo, no)
but I am around and around and around
Chours:
You’re gonna stay (You’re gonna stay)
You’re gonna stay (You’re gonna stay)
You’re gonna stay
[Hey not so close, now watch my tail]
Forever (Forever)
Forever
[You’ve got some reall boundary issues you know that?]
You think I like this job?
I’m a glorified babysitter (baby, babysitter)
No one wants to rescue me. So yeah I'm a little bitter
So yeah, I’m a little bitter
I’m not princess, no great beauty
No one ever, ever, ever, ever wants me
(You made her mad)
Rescue me
(You’re gonna die)
Come on baby and rescue me
(Don’t even try to come around round and round round and round round and round)
Oh round and around and around and around and around and around and around and around
This is by far the best song that Dragon sings, in my humble opinion.
I like donkey pot pie and all but they made it sound like dragon had three heads and Forever has more of her character
My school's doing this show right now and I'm playing trumpet in the pit. This is the best song to play by far!
I remember watching the broadway when it was on in Sydney in 2020. They played this song instead of Donkey Pot Pie. I like it, it kind of makes the dragon a more sympathetic character, not just another mindless beast.
I’m playing violin 2 for this musical 💕
Its a good song, but i so prefer donkey pot pie tbh. Yes this is a nice song, but donkey pot pie has so many levels and depth to it. Donkey Pot Pie was a better song for donkey as well, I hate the bit he sings in this ngl..
It's so good!!
Last year my school then Shrek the musical and it was an amazing experience!!!!! Hearing this song makes me so happy!!!
Yassss track dragon!
This is my jam
Dreamgirls at the end🤣😂🤣
I love how there are a few references to other shows in this haha!

Another day inside my keep, I get no rest I get no sleep, because when I start to count my sheep, you come around. I draws my shades and lock my doors still you come for what ain't yours like a hound dog on all fours. You come around, around, and around
my schools doing this full musical this year we have amazing singers
Cats 2019 khumba milo Murphy law kidz bop movie music soundtrack
i have a tryout for shrek the musical, i sang this song so much today that my voice is raspy and my my said no more singing! good thing my tryouts are not tomorrow!
We had 3 girls playing the dragon. I think it worked out well
Amazing
doing this show and we've made the knights elderly.
Why is this song different on the soundtrack? This was my favorite song
White CD I think it might be because it's a recorded version? Not sure though
White CD Basically they didn’t write this song until after the soundtrack was recorded. When the show closed on Broadway they removed Donkey Pot Pie and wrote Forever, which has been in every production since. Although this recording Forever was later released as a bonus track on the original cast recording
I have to do Dragon for my musical.
Spread the gospel jesus DIED for us so repent and spread the word of God
I like the song too.
Love it😜😜😜😜😘😘😘
