[Music]

all right let's get those a sharpen in

those

remember just give me a minute look puss

I'm a little pressed for time I am not

believing what I have just witnessed

back there you and Fiona there was a

spark a spark inside her heart I thought

was long extinguished it was as if for

one moment Fiona had actually found her

true love I am her true love I ended her

curse you know of her curse by Day One

Way by Night another this shall be the

norm until you find true love's first

kiss and then take loves True

Form you even know the little rhyme it

is true you are the Guang you must prove

it to her how convince her go to her

when she's alone and tell her something

that only her true love will know no

about

what woo that's a whole lot of kitty

Shrek can we keep him
