I Love Being A Princess
The Backyardigans Lyrics

The folks in my kingdom work hard everyday,
The people in my kingdom work hard every day.

Then go home to their dark little huts.
And they go home to their small and not-so-nice homes.

Some say a Princess should live like her people,
Some people say that a Princess should live like ordinary people.

But I reply, "What are you, nuts?"
But I think they're crazy for suggesting that.

I love being a princess,
I really enjoy being a Princess.

I love being a princess.
It's just so great being a Princess.

I love smiling regally
I love to smile like royalty.

While other people kneel.
While other people show me respect and bow down before me.

I love being a princess,
I can't stress enough how much I love being a Princess.

I love being a princess.
Seriously, being a Princess is amazing.

I wouldn't trade with anyone,
I wouldn't want to be anyone else.

I've got a sweet sweet deal.
Being a Princess is a really great deal for me.

I wear nice expensive clothes.
I get to wear really fancy and expensive clothes.

I sleep on the softest bed.
I get to sleep on the most comfortable bed in the kingdom.

I wear fancy jewelry.
I wear luxurious and expensive jewelry.

There's a crown upon my head.
And of course, I wear a crown on my head.

Everyone in Egypt Land must bow and do my bidding.
All the people in my kingdom must show me respect and do what I say.

If they don't I'll kick them out.
And if they refuse to obey me, I'll have them thrown out of the kingdom.

Try it...
They can try to defy me if they want to.

See if I'm kidding!
But they'll soon see that I'm not joking.

The lap of luxury,
I live in the finest and most luxurious surroundings.

That's where I hang out.
I like to spend my time in luxurious places.

A nice arrangement, folks,
Being a Princess is a great situation for me.

For me at least no doubt.
I'm certainly not going to doubt that I've got it good as a Princess.

I love never bothering to open my own door.
I love that I never have to open my own door, my servants do it for me.

And just because I feel like it,
And sometimes I'll do things just because I want to.

I will tell you more.
And I'll tell you even more about how pampered I am.

When I want a bite to eat,
When I'm hungry, my servants provide me with food.

My servants come and serve it.
My servants bring the food to me.

We only bring the best for her.
And my servants always make sure to bring me the very best.

Why? 'Cause I deserve it!
Because I'm a Princess and I deserve the very best.

We even come to fan her when she wants a gentle breeze,
My servants even fan me when I want a cool breeze.

But she never says thank you and she never ever says please.
But even though they do all this for me, I don't say please or thank you.

If she wants songs we'll even sing them.
And if I want them to, my servants will even sing me songs.

I've got the best servants in the kingdom.
My servants are the best in the whole kingdom.

If you want to dress like this, and wear a shiny crown,
If you want to be a Princess, like me, and dress like me with a shiny crown,

If you like how people look when they are bowing down,
And if you like people treating you with respect and bowing down to you,

If princess life is what you want, your choice is crystal clear,
Then it's clear that being a Princess is the life for you, and you should choose it.

Go find some other country, pal,
But if you don't like it here with me as the Princess,

'Cause I'm the princess here!
Then you can go find another country to live in, because I'm the only Princess here.

Great is your fame, o' princess.
You are famous and well-known, O Princess.

Long may you reign, o' princess.
May you reign for a long time, O Princess.

She's such a pain, that princess.
But sometimes you can be a bit of a pain, Princess.

I love being me!
But at the end of the day, I still love being me, and being a Princess.
