Freak Flag / Lyrics Listen up, puppet We spend out whole lives wishing we weren't so freakin' strange They make us feel the pain, but it's they who need to change The way they think, that is It's time to stop the hiding It's time to stand up tall Say hey world, I'm different, and here I am splinters and all Spliters and all Let your freak flag wave Let your freak flag fly Never take it down, never take it down Raise it way up high Let your freak flag fly Let it fly, fly, fly It's hard to be a puppet So many strings attached But it's not the choice you make It's just how you were hatched Let your freak flag wave Let your freak flag fly Never take it down, never take it down Raise it way up high Let your freak flag fly I'm proud to be a piggy I raise my furry fist Papa Bear, Papa Bear It's time a tell the world I'm a scientologist I did some time in jail I smell like sauerkraut I'm gonna shed my house coat Best thing you work it out Let your freak flag wave Let your freak flag fly Never take it down, never take it down Raise it way up high Yes, it all makes sense now We may be freaks, but we're freaks with teeth, and claws and magic wands And together, we can stand up to Farquaad Never take it down Raise it way up high! We've got magic We've got power Who are they to say we're wrong? All the things that make us special Are the things that make us strong What makes us special What makes us special What makes us special makes us strong Let your freak flag wave Let your freak flag fly Never take it down, never take it down Raise it way up high Let your freak flag fly Fly Fly Fly Fly I'm wood, I'm good, get used to it Fly
Yeah, I’d say a few people enjoyed this! Thank you for posting. My daughter played the Gingerbread Man in youth theatre and this brings me back. I loved those days. ❤
Merely just coming from a guy who's still learning before he can become a pride ally, but... Would this be an appropriate song to play during pride month?
Some groups of LGBT+ folks have already sung it for performances, sometimes with altered lyrics and sometimes as-is, so I'd say it is. If you can, it probably wouldn't hurt to ask the opinions of any specific people you're meeting or supporting during pride beforehand.
I'm still mad this song was cut out in my schools production. It was a competition piece and just ran too long. I still don't know why youd cut THIS of all the songs in the show.
Eddie: (entering) Delilah strict...! EXPOSE PART SONG, START FROM THE BEGINNING START: 0.00 END: 3MINS ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lu_rmGtH_TE.html Miss strict: Oh god, not you again.... Eddie: You're looking scrumptious tonight.... (she walks over to him. Then slaps him. Hard.) Miss strict: Are you satisfied, flagrante? Have you got what you desired? You're destroying all i've worked for With this frenzy you've inspired! Eddie: Ain't it funny how things happen? Can this really be by chance? After all the time gone by... ...we fin'lly made it to the dance. Miss strict: Too little, too late, flagrante! Eddie: You know i do believe the last time we were together was in a high school, very much like this. Miss strict: Correction. The last time we were together was in the back seat of your father's studebaker. You were such a bad boy... Eddie: And you were such a good girl -- on the outside. But i always knew there was a blazing inferno beneath the icy exterior. One day you were bound to melt, and when you did, i wanted to be there to lick up the puddle... I enjoyed the constant battles, Though the odds were none to slim. And i still recall those tussles 'Neath the bleachers in the gym. All the steam... All the sweat... Miss strict: There are some things we'd be better to forget.... Eddie: Do you remember french class, mon cher? Miss strict: Yes, i recall that french class affair. Eddie: Oh, to be wild and young. Miss strict: Exploring a foreign tongue. Eddie: I left ev'ry day from french class More certain than before, That under your je ne sais quoi -- I'd find l'amour! Tell me my love, does glee club ring a bell? Miss strict: Yes, i remember glee club, too well. Eddie: Reason gave way to rhyme. Miss strict: Rapture in four/four time. Eddie: There in the heat of glee club, Passions were expressed. For music, it never quite soothed -- Your savage breast! Expose', my love, Expose'. I remember it well; It was heaven and hell, The games that we'd play. Expose', my love, Expose'. Miss strict: You tore me apart. Eddie: You stomped on my heart. Both: Then cast me away. Expose'!

Thank you for this. My highschool is doing this, and I'm the voice of Toffee's father. I've been having trouble keeping in line with the script, and this is a big help. We barely ever do my part, so I don't have much reason to be at rehearsal. Meaning I won't have much time to think of the tune, and stay in line. This is a huge help, thank you so much!
My middle school is doing Shrek the musical for our Spring show, it’s the Jr version so it’s not exactly the same but I’m playing Fiona but I sort of wish I was a fairy tale creature because I love both of their songs especially this one
