## Song lyrics

I Love Being A Princess (1st)

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: "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!

I Love Being A Princess (2nd)

I love being a princess... She loves being a princess!

I love never bothering to open my own door!

I love being a princess…She loves being a princess!

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

We only bring the best for her Why? Cause I deserve it!

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

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

I ask for snacks, my servants bring them,

I ask for drinks, my servants bring them

If she wants songs, we'll even sing them

I 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!

I love being a princess... She loves being a princess!

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!

Great is your fame, O princess...

Long may you reign, O princess...

She's such a PAIN, that princess...

I love being me!

Three Presents For The Sphinx (1st)

We need...three presents,

we need...three presents

We need...three presents,

we need three presents for the Sphinx!

We gotta look...near and far

We gotta look...here and there

We gotta look...everywhere

To find three presents for the Sphinx!

To the hidden pyramid, we must go, there's a jewel inside that glints and glows

It's a perfect present for that lady fair

Uniqua is the Sphinx's name, and collecting presents is her game

We'll get her a jewel that's beyond compare

We need...three presents,

we need...three presents,

we need...three presents

We need three presents for the Sphinx!

We need three...presents...for...the Sphinx!

I Want River Back

I want my river back,

I want my river back

I sure do miss my water, Jack

I want my river back...

Used to be big, tall palm trees

Now there's nothing but dust!

Green grass blowing in the breeze

Now there's nothing but dust!

Great thick reeds up to my knees,

Egyptian birds and Egyptian bees,

Pharaohs going by on water skis...

Now there's nothing but dust!

I want my river back,

I want my river back

Fresh water's what I lack,

I want my river back...

For one thing I fell thirsty,

or another thing I feel hot

And some folks like to feel that way,

but I myself do not!

That's why we're off to see the Sphinx

To give her those gifts, ask what she thinks

She'll bring back the river and we'll have some drinks

We'll have our river back

I want my river back,

I want my river back

There's no time to stand and yack,

I want my river back...

Oh yeah, she wants her river back...

I want my river back

Don't give her any flack

I want my river back...

Three Presents For The Sphinx (2nd)

We need...two more presents,

we need...two more presents

We need...two more presents,

we need two more presents for the Sphinx!

We gotta look...up and down

We gotta look...on the ground

We gotta look...all around

To find two more presents for the Sphinx!

Two...more...presents...for the Sphinx!

Three Presents For The Sphinx (3rd)
We need...one last present,

we need...one last present,

We need...one last present,

only one last present for the Sphinx!

We gotta look...high and low

We gotta look...in and out

We gotta look...all about

To find one last present for the Sphinx!

To find one...last...present...for the Sphinx!

please and thank you

Please and thank you,

that's the secret of the Nile

Please and thank you

gets you practically anything you want with a smile

Even princesses should try to be polite,

please and thank you

they're just right,

so don't be rude

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?

How 'bout those three guys

who do the work for you?

Thank you guys for knowing

where the special gifts were hid! You're welcome!

And thank you guys for helping me

find them like you did! You're welcome!

And thank you guys for doing all that other

servant work! You're welcome!

And please forgive me

if I acted kinda like a jerk That's O.K.

Please and thank you

that's the secret of the Nile,

please and thank you

get you Practically anything you want with a smile

Egypt's nice when we all try

to be polite Please and thank you

are just right, you're welcome, too!
