I Am Their Queen

I Am Their Queen is a song sang by Lisa Simpson and the teachers and staff at Springfield Elementary School in "The President Wore Pearls". In the song, the staff give Lisa a make over, using her vanity to distract her from her work as a newly elected class president. The song is a parody of "Rainbow High" from the musical Evita which the entire episode references throughout. The episode was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Music (by Alf Clausen) And Lyrics (by Dana Gould). It is part of the twentieth track on the album The Simpsons: Testify.

Lyrics

Lisa:

You wanted to see me?

Edna Krabappel:

Actually, Lisa, I wanted you to see you. You're our president now. But you look like the First Lady of...Yaaaaaawn.

Lisa:

What would you change?

Teachers:

Eyes, pearls, smile, hairpoints,

Dress, voice, shoes, Swatch watch.

Lisa:

I may be the new girl,

But you can't brainwash me.

Just Osh Kosh B'gosh me

And then leave me be.

To fight for kid power

I must be heard not seen.

I have to lead wisely

Not just primp and preen.

Teachers:

Nails, dimples, ears, scrunchie,

Purse, lunchbox, teeth, Milhouse.

Lisa:

This beauting-up suits me,

There's beauty within me.

So let's Olsen Twin me,

Give them someone to love.

This grown-up makeover

Has made me a super tween.

For they are my people

And I am their queen!

Marge:

Oh, Lisa, you look so successful, like you're the wife of a businessman.

Homer:

I wish I could wear like a businessman. Then I'd have nice things.
