Perfect World Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There are despots and dictators - political manipulators
There are blue bloods with the intellects of fleas
There are kings and petty tyrants, who are so lacking in refinements
They'd be better suited swinging from the trees

[Verse 2]
He was born and raised to rule
No one has ever been this cool
In a thousand years of aristocracy
An enigma and a mystery, in Mesoamerican history
The quintessence of perfection, that is he!

Pre-Chorus
He's the sovereign lord of the nation
He's the hippest dude in creation
He's a hip cat in the emperor's new clothes
Years of such selective breeding, generations have been leading
To this miracle of life that we all know


[Chorus]
What's his name?
Kuzco, Kuzco (That's his name!)
Kuzco (He's the king of the world)
Kuzco, Kuzco (Is he hip or what?!)
Kuzco-oh-oh-oh (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
He's the sovereign lord of the nation
He's the hippest cat in creation
He's the alpha, the omega, A to Z
And this perfect world will spin, around his every little whim
'Cause this perfect world begins and ends with...

[Chorus]
What's his name?
Kuzco, Kuzco, Kuzco
Kuzco (That's his name!)
Kuzco, Kuzco (Is he hip or what?!)
Kuzco (Don't you know he's the king of the world?)
Kuzco, Kuzco, Kuzco (Oh yeah)
Kuzco-oh-oh-oh (Ow!)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
