Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Donkey)
(Puss and donkey ya'll)
She's into superstitions, black cats and voodoo dolls
I feel a premonition that girl's gonna make me fall (here we go)
She's into new sensations, new kicks and candlelight
She's got a new addiction for every day and night

She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain
She'll make you live her crazy life
But she'll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain

Upside inside out
Livin la Vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin la Vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la Vida loca
(Hey donkey that's Spanish)

I woke up in New York City in a funky cheap hotel
She took my heart and she took my money
She must have slipped me a sleeping pill
She never drinks the water and makes you order French champagne
(Shrek, Shrek, Shrek, Shrek, Shrek)
And once you've had a taste of her you'll never be the same
She'll make you go insane

Upside inside out
Livin la Vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin la Vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la Vida loca
(Com'on, oww, o she's livin la loca, break it down)

Upside inside out
Livin la Vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the of color mocha
She will wear you out
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la Vida loca




(Shrek, what'd you say)
Livin la Vida loca

Normally I get tired of dance party endings being overdone in movies

But with this movie, I genuinely do not care. The movie is such a masterpiece it rightfully EARNED its dance party ending.
This and Robots truly have the best dance-party endings of all time.

@skilledking7218

Most of the dance party at the ends are the same level of you getting cancer but Shrek 2 says no to that.

Donโ€™t forget slumdog millionaire.
