Donkey attempts to persuade Shrek into letting him guide him on his quest to find Lord Farquaad in Duloc.[Donkey]

Hey, hey, hey! You gotta let me go with you

You don't know what it's like to be considered a freak

Well maybe you do

But that's why we gotta stick together

[Shrek]

Donkey!

[Donkey]

No, no, no! Don't speak, don't speak, don't speak

Just hear me out! I might surprise you

I'll be a friend, when others despise you

Don't roll your eyes! Stop with the mopin'

You need a pal! My calendar's open

I'll bring you soup, when you feel congested

I'll bail you out, when you get arrested

I got your back, wha-wha-what, when things get scary

And I'll shave it, when it gets hairy

Don't let me go

Don't let me go

Don't let me go

You need me

You need me

I'll treat you right, and never act shoddy

If you kill a man, I'll hide the body

So what do you say?

You're not responding

I think we're bonding

Don't let me go

Don't let me go

Don't let me go

You need me

You and me, we belong together

Like butter and grits

Like kibbles and bits

Like yin and yang

Sturm and Drang

Like Eng and Chang, attached at the hip

But not an old lady hip that might break

I'm gonna be on you like a fat kid on cake

Like Cupid and Psyche, like pop rocks and Mikey

We'll stick together like that Velcro stuff

I'm the fuzzy side; you'll be the spiky

Oh! Like little kids and pajamas

With those funny things at the bottom, you know, feeties

Like donuts and, oh, what goes with donuts?

Donuts and diabetes

Don't let me go

Don't let me go

Don't let me go

Don't let me go

Hold me, hug me

Take me, please

Na-na-na-na-na-na, please don't let me go

I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you

I need you, I need you, I need you

I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you

I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you

Don't let me go

Go, go don't let me go
