La Liberteeeeeee hey!
Shrek: Princess!
Robin Hood: hahaha!
Fiona: Wha, wha, what are you doing?
Robin Hood: Be still mon cherie! For I am your Savior! And I am rescuing you from this green, (makes kissing sounds) beast!
Fiona: Oh
Shrek: Hey! ThatÂ’s my princess! You find your own
Robin hood: Ah! Please, Monster! CanÂ’t you see IÂ’m a little busy, here?
Fiona: oh, look pal; I donÂ’t know who you think you areÂ…
Robin Hood: Oh! Of course how rude ah lala, please, let me introduce myselfÂ… Oh merrymen, hahahaha
Ta, da, da, da, da, da, 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, ha-ha, 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, that's bad, that's bad
When a beauty's with a beast it makes me awfully mad
He's mad, he's really mad
Now I'll take my blade and ram it through your heart
Keep your eyes on me, boys, 'Cause I'm about to staaa...
