Courtney Reed, who plays Jasmine in the musical, performing Call Me a Princess

Call me a Princess is a song intended to be sung by Princess Jasmine in Aladdin. In her early development she was supposed to be a typical, spoiled, bratty princess, and this song focused in on that. The developers scrapped the idea along with this song to make Jasmine the headstrong, compassionate woman we know today. If this song wasn't deleted it would of been the first solo song sung by Jasmine, but now that title belongs to the song I've Got My Eyes on You.

The song was resurfaced in 2011 for the Aladdin musical, though the story behind the song has changed. Instead of Jasmine being a spoiled brat, the song was used by the princess to scare off suitors.

Lyrics

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

Go ahead, call me "royal pain"

I'm unimpressed with your disdain

Let me repeat one sweet refrain

Princesses get their way

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

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

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

Call me a princess,

I don't mind

Selfish disgrace to womankind

People need hobbies - I unwind

Watching how much I weigh

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

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

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 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
