My daughter has taken a liking to Shrek, and like most two year olds, likes to watch it repeatedly. That’s fine because I like to quote from it, “You cut me deep, Honey, you cut me real deep just now.”

So I thought I would just mention one of my favorite parts. You remember when Robin Hood attempts to rescue the princess against her wishes? I love that. I love the song too … here’s a transcript of that part:

Princess: What are you doing?
Robin Hood: Be still, mon cherie, for I am you savior! And I am rescuing you from this green (Kisses} beast.
Shrek: Hey! That’s my princess! Go find you own!
Robin Hood: Please, monster! Can’t you see I’m a little busy here?
Shrek: Look, pal, I don’t know who you think you are!
Robin Hood: Oh! Of couse! Oh, how rude. Please let me introduce myself. Oh, Merry Men.

Ta, dah, dah, dah, whoo.
I steal from the rich and give to the needy.
He takes a wee percentage,
But I’m not greedy.
I rescue pretty damsels
Man, I’m good
What a guy, Monsieur Hood
<Break it down>
I like an honest fight
and a saucy little maid
What he’s basically saying
is he likes to get—
Paid
So when an ogre in the bush
grabs a lady by the tush
That’s bad, that’s bad
When a beauty’s with a beast
it makes me awfully mad
He’s mad. He’s really, really mad
I’ll take my blade and
ram it through your heart
Keep your eyes on me, boys
‘cause I’m about to start!

At this point the wonderful fight scene as the princess kicks everyone’s butt … fun huh?
