This is a song about wanting more LGBTQ inclusion and representation in children’s movies, specifically Disney. It’s a parody, sure, but at its core, it’s a protest song about LGBTQ erasure.
{THOMAS]: Most kids walked through life but I sang and danced
I believed I was Tarzan, I never wore pants
[JON, spoken]: Excuse me?
[THOMAS, spoken]: Nothing
{THOMAS]: People around me could see
That Disney meant everything
And as I grew up
Disney did too
They bought every franchise from here to Batoo
Look at their assets, you'll see
[JON, spoken]: Damn!
[JON]: They bought everything
[THOMAS]: They've got bachelors and quiz shows a-plenty
[JON, spoken]: I'm a confirmed bachelor
[THOMAS]: They've got Groot and Black Panther and Thor
{JON, spoken]: And Captain America
[THOMAS, spoken]: And Captain America's ass
{THOMAS and JON, spoken]: Mmm
{THOMAS, spoken]: You want a new Star Wars movie? How about 20? And several TV shows. And a theme park
{JON, spoken]: Okay, yeah, I know
[THOMAS]: But who cares?
[JON]: No big deal
{THOMAS and JON]: I want more
[THOMAS]: I want a gay Disney prince
With footwork so thrilling
[JON]: I slay without killing
[THOMAS]: A rich boy
[JON]: Who still loves to werk
[THOMAS]: A man who spills tea
[JON]: Not the blood of enemies
[THOMAS]: Disney don't shoot straight
You're in the musical scene
[JON]: Time to toss out the princess and bring in a queen
[THOMAS and JON]: It's time to say, "Hey," to a gay Disney prince
[THOMAS]: Every prince in the past
{JON]: Just straight vanilla
[THOMAS]: Let's add rainbow sprinkles
[JON]: And a shot of tequila
[THOMAS]: A gay guy who's gaze would fit clean on a three dollar bill
A prince who will put every woman at ease
[JON]: Cause I won't try and kiss them while they are asleep
[THOMAS]: A guy who likes guys who is still humanized in his
[THOMAS and JON]: Film!
[THOMAS]: Yaaaas
{THOMAS]: I want a gay Disney prince
[JON]: He wants a gay Disney prince
Disney get some bad bitches
[THOMAS]: Try the gay stuff, it's delicious!
Please give us more than this bullsh
[JON]: Yeah, that's a bit screwy
[THOMAS]: Makes me say le-fooey
[JON]: Put me in a film
[THOMAS]: Gee, that would be swell
[JON]: I'm Peter Pan-sexual
[THOMAS]: No you're twinkerbell
It's just breeders in theatres I can't help but belt
Who is that prince I see?
Very straight, unlike me
[JON]: A whole new world
A bedazzling place you yearn to view
I'd be so gay up here
[THOMAS]: It's crystal queer
[JON]: Bless my hole, twerking on a pole
[THOMAS, spoken]: Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I got carried away, that's on me
[THOMAS]: If I only had you in my early years
I might have seemed less weird to my non-queer peers
But mature into parents, understanding and warm
Knowing hetero-ever-after doesn't have to be the norm
[JON]: If they'd have seen
[THOMAS]: Someone like me
[THOMAS and JON]: A gay Disney prince
