Alan Menken — Call Me A Princess

[Verse 1] Call me a princess, I don't care Call me obsessed with nails and hair Only concerned with what to wear Shallow and so blase [Verse 2] Go ahead, call me "royal pain" I'm unimpressed with your disdain Let me repeat one sweet refrain Princesses get their way [Chorus 1] Other girls cook, but that's not relaxing Princesses make reservations Life's much too short and Lord, it's so taxing Ruling these darn Third World nations [Verse 3] Some say that when I nag a whine Nobody's voice is as shrill as mine Daddy thinks that I sound just fine He's in my royal sway [Chorus 2] Other girls study, why do they bother? I study how to grease up my father Fathers were born to pay And princesses get their way [Verse 4] Call me a princess, I don't mind Selfish disgrace to womankind People need hobbies - I unwind Watching how much I weigh [Verse 5] Other girls work for law degrees Some scrub the floor on hands and knees I'd rather have a facial, please Slather her face in clay [Chorus 3] Soon I'll get married - what could be sweeter? To some Salim or Abdullah Whoever he is, the two things he'll need are Earplugs and plenty of moola [Verse 6] Princesses write a check - it clears That's 'cause they spend those wonder years Running to Dad and faking tears Training him to obey Fresh outta cash? No problem, I drop a Snit and go running straight to my papa Then everything's okay Princesses get their way Believe it Princesses get their way
