Mad Jasmine

- Mad Jasmine -

I wear my blue harem pants, and I can really dance,
With a sword in my hand, I’m like a warrior princess.
I will not wait for some hero to come save the day…
My heart is hungry for romance, and when I prance,
The desert blazes hot; I am not, a damsel in distress!
All the people know my name, and I like it that way.
Mad Jasmine they call me, and I steal the show well,
You won’t take my kingdom; I will see you in Hell…
Evil wizards can’t match, the spell my eyes can cast!
I’m like a warrior princess from out the ancient past.
Regal as a queen, I need no genie’s lamp for magic,
My father was an idiot, and his rule was just tragic…
Everyone knows me as the power behind the throne.
Mad Jasmine they call me, and this land is my home!
   If you mess with it, I'll cut you down to the bone.
I have been in the depths of the cave full of wonder,
When the hero was afraid, I showed him how I sing.
My spirit flies faster than a flying carpet out of myth…
And when I put my mind to rhyme, there is thunder.
There is fire in my heart, and how hotly it does sting!
I’ll be the one, who grants my love his fondest wish.
Mad Jasmine they call me, the rose from the wastes,
I am as tough as leather, but as delicate as soft lace.
It is a whole new world, and I am up for adventure…
No palace can hold me back, from my bright future!
I am as cunning as any tiger; I’m a rose with thorns,
My feet have walked, on sand that so hotly warms…
When the hero complained, my resolve was intense.
Mad Jasmine they call me, and I protect my prince!
   Or maybe another princess, if I get the chance.
Baby come and kiss me, I promise I will not bite…
If you think the sun is blazing, hotter fires are inside,
This heart of mine, which I give to the one I desire!
I am no sleeping beauty and I never run at midnight.
There is nothing under the sea that beckons wide…
My love runs deeper, and my curiosity will not tire!
Mad Jasmine they call me, and you will not forget.
Forty thieves cannot deter my mind, once it is set…
This is no children’s story; this is just the way I am.
I say what I think; because I’m the princess, I can!
If you can love me for all that you can be my babe,
But you’ll never change me; this is how I’m made…
Arabian nights don’t have to be as bad as the days.
Mad Jasmine they call me, now go sing my praise!
