My sister Kerissa works at a daycare, and besides children, she loves children’s music. Her class is referred to as 3B (the room number?) and they are having a party for which the theme is “Kingdom 3B”. Kerissa (or Miss Kerissa as her students call her) re-wrote a pop song especially for the occasion: Royals. You know the moment in one of Swoozie’s “Cheating in High School / College" videos when one teacher says to another “You’re a genius” - that was my initial thought for my sister when she introduced me to the song.
My Pink Princess by Kavita Ramchandran
*Her dress has been made purple on behalf of the Kingdom 3B Royals
Here are the lyrics:
V1
We walk with bubbles and duck tails
We try our best and never fail
to share toys
And when we walk we make no noise
In the halls to gym
We get compliments
bridge:
And every parent’s like
Kingdom 3B going down the hallway
Doing awesome, bet they’ve had a great day
They’re so cool
Setting examples in the school
And every teacher’s like
Kingdom 3B sitting in the classroom
On the brown line
No one had to ask them
Give applause;
They’re sitting criss-cross-applesauce
CHORUS:
And we’ll always be royals
It just runs in our blood
Having manners just ain’t enough
We gotta take it up a notch
May we be your rulers?
Call us kingdom 3B
And baby we’ll rule
And we’ll all bow regally
V2:
When chewing food our mouths are closed
We don’t drop crumbs upon our clothes
or the floor
And everyone who knows us knows
We push in our chairs
We always play fair
bridge + CHORUS
bridge 2:
Oh-uh-oh, oh-uh-oh, oh oh
Saying please and thank you
is something we know how to do
Oh-uh-oh, oh-uh-oh, oh oh
We know not to interrupt
And to stop when you say enough
CHORUS
