Please and Thank You
The Backyardigans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uniqua:
Please and thank you, that's the secret of the Nile

Boys:
Please and thank you gets you practically anything you want with a smile

Uniqua:
Even princesses should try to be polite, please and thank you they're just right, so don't be rude

Tasha:
Please and thank you are not things I usually say
But since you insist I'll start to say them much more often as of today
Who exactly should I say these phrases to?

Uniqua:
How 'bout those three guys who do the work for you?

Tasha:
Thank you guys for knowing where the special gifts were hid!

Boys:
You're welcome!

Tasha:
And thank you guys for helping me find them like you did!

Boys:
You're welcome!

Tasha:
And thank you guys for doing all that other servant work!

Boys:
You're welcome!

Tasha:
And please forgive me if I acted kinda like a jerk

Boys:
That's O.K.

Girls:
Please and thank you that's the secret of the Nile, please and thank you get you

Boys:
Practically anything you want with a smile





All: Egypt's nice when we all try to be polite
Please and thank you are just right, you're welcome, too!
