Donkey sings a traveling tune while he and Shrek walk to Duloc, much to Shrek’s dismay (Why me? Why me?). This song is littered with references to other Shrek movies, nursery rhymes in general, and other pre-existing musicals.
You’ve gotta take me with you! I am like a GPS… with fur!
[Shrek]
You know, this may turn into the longest day of my entire life
[Donkey]
Oh, I got the perfect remedy for that!
[Shrek]
Donkey, please, I am begging you!
[Donkey]
Sing a song
Yes a travel song
When you gotta go somewhere
Cause the fun is getting there
Yeah. Oh what the heck, I must confess
I love a road trip!
Sing a song
Hit the trail
Forget the maps. Forget the guides
Before ya know it, you've made strides with me
And I know all I need - all along
Is a path and a pal - and a song
So I'm singin'
And I'm pallin' with you
See? Makes the time go by faster
[Shrek]
Why me?
Why me?
[Donkey, spoken]
This is nice
[Shrek]
Tell me what was my crime?
[Donkey]
We are strolling
[Shrek]
He's as chatty as a parrot
More annoying than a mime
[Donkey]
Hey, look, a cat who's wearing boots!
That's crazy!
[Shrek]
Why me?
Why me?
A simple answer would be fine
[Donkey, soken]
Mmm, this is good cardio
[Shrek]
Won't someone please
Send me a sign?
[Donkey, spoken]
Oh look, a sign! Yunita Pal Avenue straight ahead!
What did I do to deserve this?
Honestly
This ass 'o mine is asinine
Why me?
[Donkey, spoken]
Oh man, what could be better than this?!
[Shrek]
Why me?
Why me?
A simple answer would be fine
Won't somebody please send me a sign?
[Donkey]
Sing a song!
Hit the road!
It's the way
To get around!
Before ya know it, you've
Gained ground with me!
[Shrek]
What did I do to deserve this?
Honestly
[Donkey]
And I know
All I need
All along is a path
And a pal
And a song
[Shrek]
This ass 'o mine
Is asinine
Why am I
So, I'm singin'
And I'm pallin'
With you
(spoken)
That'll do Donkey
That'll do
