About

After the initial Broadway run of the musical, the writers of the show expressed dislike for the song “Donkey Pot Pie” that occurs when Donkey meets the Dragon for the first time.

Forever Lyrics

[DRAGON]
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, spoken]
I-I’ll just come back a little later than, okay?

[DRAGON]
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-e-ay-ay
Forever

[DONKEY, spoken]
I wish I could stay, but forever sounds like a long time

[DRAGON]
Forever

[DONKEY, spoken]
And, uh, I got a hair appointment

[DRAGON & (KNIGHTS)]
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 (Ooo, whoo-whoo)
That pretty girl, that perfect peach (Ooo, whoo-whoo)
She is always out of reach (Ooo, 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) You’re gonna stay-e-ay-ay
Forever

[DONKEY, spoken]
Hey, not so close, now watch my tail

[DRAGON & (KNIGHTS)]
(Forever)
Forever
(Forever)

[DONKEY, spoken]
You’ve got some real boundary issues, you know that?

[DRAGON & (KNIGHTS)]
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 no 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)
Oh, around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and ar -

[DONKEY, spoken]
Baby, hold on, now I’ve got something 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?

(sung)
Uh
I like a big, big girl
I like a big, big girl

(spoken)
Help me out, boys!

[KNIGHTS, sung]
He likes a big, big girl
He likes a big, big girl

[DONKEY & (KNIGHTS), sung]
And as for you? I think you’re bluffin’
Stompin’ around all huffin’ and puffin’
You want true love? Stop with the hatin’
(Unchain your heart)
He’s out there waiting
(He likes a big, big girl)
(He likes a big, big girl)

(spoken)
Well, I hope you learned somethin' valuable today
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be on my way
What’s wrong with you?
You got somethin' in your eye?

[DRAGON, sung]
I’m no princess, but he wants me
No great beauty, but he wants me

[DONKEY, spoken]
Say what?

[DRAGON]
No one ever, ever, ever, ever wanted me
So...
You’re gonna stay
You’re gonna stay
You’re gonna stay-e-ay-ay
Forever

[DONKEY, spoken]
I wasn’t talking about me specifically

[DRAGON]
I’m gonna love you forever
Oh, oh
You’re gonna stay with me
Forevermore
You’re gonna love...
...me!
