Lyrics

Part 1[]

Tasha: The folks in my kingdom work hard every day... then go home to their dark, little huts.
Some say a princess should live like her people... but I reply:

(speaking) "What are you, nuts?!"

I love being a princess, I love being a princess,
I love smiling regally, while other people kneel!
I love being a princess, I love being a princess,
I wouldn’t trade with anyone, I’ve got a sweet, sweet deal.
I wear nice expensive clothes, I sleep on the softest bed.
I wear fancy jewelry, there’s a crown upon my head!
Everyone in Egypt land must bow and do my bidding,
If they don’t, I’ll kick them out, try it - see if I’m kidding.

I love being a princess, I love being a princess, the lap of luxury, that’s where I hang out.
I love being a princess, I love being a princess,
A nice arrangement, folks, for me at least - no doubt!

Part 2[]

Tasha: I love being a princess...

Austin, Pablo, and Tyrone:
She loves being a princess!

Tasha:
I love never bothering to open my own door!
I love being a princess...

Austin, Pablo, and Tyrone:
She loves being a princess!

Tasha:
And just because I feel like it, I will tell you more...
When I want a bite to eat, my servants come and serve it.

Pablo:
We only bring the best for her.

Tasha:
Why? Cause I deserve it!

Tyrone:
We even come to fan her when she wants a gentle breeze.

Austin:
But she never says 'thank you', and she never...ever says 'please'!

Tasha:
I ask for snacks, my servants bring them. I ask for drinks, my servants bring them.

Austin:
If she wants songs, we'll even sing them.

Tasha:
I've got the best servants in the kingdom!
If you want to dress like this and wear a shiny crown.
If you like how people look when they are bowing down...
If princess life is what you want, your choice is crystal clear:
Go find another country, pal, 'cause I'm the...princess here!

Tasha:
I love being a princess...

Austin, Pablo, and Tyrone:
She loves being a princess!

Tasha:
I love lounging on my couch and ruling royally!
I love being a princess, I love being a princess.
There's just one princess here and I love being me!

Tyrone:
Great is your fame, O Princess!

Pablo:
Long may you reign, O Princess!

Austin (speaking):
She's such a pain, that princess!

Tasha:
I love being me!
