"The Queen Sings" is a group song performed by the Evil Queen, Magic Mirror, Grumpy, Geppetto, Granny, Snow White and Prince Charming in ABC's Once Upon a Time musical episode, "The Song in Your Heart".
Story[]
Having discovered the Singing Spell is affecting her, the Evil Queen storms into her room, telling the Magic Mirror that she is being tortured and wants a way to end it. Singing, the Magic Mirror reveals that a wish by Snow and Charming is causing this, much to her annoyance. He then shows her several people the spell is affecting, ending with Snow and Charming finishing 'Powerful Magic'. In agony, the Queen yells for the mirror to stop showing her singing.
Lyrics[]
Evil Queen:
Mirror, mirror on the wall
I’m tortured by some spell
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Please, save me from this hell
Magic Mirror:
Snow and Charming made a wish
Now everything has changed
Evil Queen:
Oh great, you’re singing too
This whole thing is deranged
Magic Mirror:
A spell as strong as this
Won’t be easy to defeat
Your curse might not succeed
With your kingdom’s singing songs so sweet
Grumpy:
It’s time to work, let’s go
Not a thing to make me bristle
With a heigh, heigh, heigh and a ho, ho, ho
I’ll mine that mine and whistle
Geppetto:
He’s really not a toy
There’s a lifetime to enjoy
The happy things
he’s got no strings
‘Cause he’s my real boy
(Jiminy Cricket chirps)
Granny:
La la
Princess on her way
La la, though I’m old and gray
Happy times are here to stay
Snow White & Charming:
Seems we found a lucky break
Now let our song show the powerful magic… we can make!
Evil Queen: Enough!
