A scene from Shrek 2001
Charlie Reed

[The Proclaimers music playing a song I'm on My Way] [singing]

I'm on my way from misery to happiness today / Ah-hah (Ah-hah), ah-hah (Ah-hah) / I'm on my way from misery to happiness today / Ah-hah (Ah-hah), ah-hah (Ah-hah) / I'm on my way to what I want from this world / And years from now you'll make it to the next world / And everything that you receive up yonder / Is what you gave to me the day I wandered...| I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday / Ah-hah (Ah-hah), ah-hah (Ah-hah), yeah / I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday / Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah / I took the road that brought me to your home town / I took the bus to streets that I could walk down / I walked the streets to find the one I'd looked for / I climbed the stair that led me to your front door...| And now that I don't want for anything (Ooh) / I'd have Al Jolson sing "I'm sitting on top of the world"...| I'll do my best, I'll do my best to do the best I can / Ah-hah (Ah-hah), ah-hah (Ah-hah), yeah / I'll do my best, I'll do my best to do the best I can / Ah-hah, ah-hah, ah-hah, ah-hah / To keep my feet from jumping from the ground, dear / To keep my heart from jumping through my mouth, dear / To keep the past, the past and not the present / To try and learn when you teach me a lesson...| And now that I don't want for anything (Ooh) / I'd have Al Jolson sing "I'm sitting on top of the world"...| I'm on my way from misery to happiness today / Ah-hah (Ah-hah), ah-hah (Ah-hah), yeah / I'm on my way from misery to happiness today / Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah / I'm on my way to what I want from this world / And years from now you'll make it to the next world / And everything that you receive up yonder / Is what you gave to me the day I wandered / I'm on my way to what I want from this world / And years from now you'll make it to the next world / And everything that you receive up yonder / Is what you gave to me the day I wandered...| I'm on my way / I'm on my way / I'm on my way / I'm on my way / I'm on my way / I'm on my way / I'm on my way / I'm on my way... [song fades]
