lyrics

Lyrics:

You see a villain by definition
Is a character evil pure
Whose actions and their motives are important to a plot
The opposition to a hero
They’re all together down right bad
Deliberately awful scoundrels
They’re the devil's diplomats
Inflictin’ harm with their slimy charm
They’re always tryin' to gain some prize
But their greedy little scams and schemes lead to their demise

Take Ursula, and her cursulas, and stealing mermaids’s voices
She just swam around takin' all their souls by manipalatin' all their choices
Stirred the seas, broke families cause she wanted some magic stick
But she got pierced in the guts by a broken mast of a broke down sailin' ship

Well old Prince John, in his royal house coat, was a sucker for the shillin'
He’d just suck his thumb when times got tough, was the whiniest of villains
He taxed the poor, put the town in jail, took everything they had
But he himself wound up in the slammer with the Sheriff of Nottingham

Now Scar and Jafar, in their nasty hearts had their hungers for the thrown
They wanted to be the most powerful rulers their kingdoms had every known
Both got what they wanted, but by means of their sleezy ways
Scar fell to the hiyenas, and Jafar, to an itty bitty living space
PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER!!!!
Itty bitty living space.....

You got Hades, Hook, The Queen of Hearts, Oogie Boogie, and old Sher Kahn
Cruella De Vil, Lady Tremaine, the list it goes on and on
Not matter the story, no matter the villain, the outcome is always the same
Cause a villain’s a villain’s a villain’s a villain’s, and villains they never change

Because a villain by definition
Is a character evil pure
Whose actions and their motives are important to a plot
The opposition to a hero
They’re all together down right bad
Deliberately awful scoundrels
They’re the devils diplomats
Inflictin’ harm with their slimy charm
They’re always tryin to gain some prize
But their greedy little scams and schemes lead to their demise
Their greedy little scams and schemes lead to their demise
Their greedy little scams and schemes always lead to their demiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssaahhhhhhhhh....
