When I Rule the World Lyrics

[Intro]
I rule the world, I-I rule the world
When I rule the world
I-I rule the world
I rule the world, I-I rule the world
When I rule the world
I-I rule the world

[Verse 1]
When I rule the world, then I'm gonna make you sweat
Dog collar 'round your neck, on your knees and scrub the deck
Oh there's a spot over there so I'll drag you by the hair
So scrub it, rub it, whip it, dry it, 'til I tell you to stop
When I'm on the throne, it's a total freak zone
You can call me mommy and I'll throw a dog a bone
Better bite on that bone, or you're never going home
So bite it, break it, hit it, lick it, 'til I tell you to stop

[Pre-Chorus]
When I... (When I rule the world, I, I rule the world)
Rule the world... (When I rule the world, I, I rule the world)
When I... (When I rule the world, I, I rule the world)
Rule the world, (When I rule the world, I, I rule the world) the world, the world

[Chorus]
When I rule the world, then you're the little girl
You should do as I say 'cause things are gonna be my way
I rule the world, so get down on your knees
Better do as I please, until I tell you to stop
[Verse 2]
When I rule the world, then I'm gonna make you work
Brring brring! Stay alert, keep on pushing 'til it hurts
Oh now look who's sorry, now they're answering to me
So, scrub it, rub it, whip it, dry it, 'til I tell you to stop
When I wear the crown, all the people bow down
I can be your daddy and you're gonna make me proud
If you don't, you'll be bound and thrown in the dog pound (woof!)
So, bite it, break it, hit it, lick it, 'til I tell you to stop

[Chorus]
When I rule the world, then you're the little girl
You should do as I say 'cause things are gonna be my way
I rule the world, so get down on your knees
Better do as I please, until I tell you to
Until I tell you to
Until I tell you to stop

[Bridge]
When I rule the world
I-I rule the world
When I rule the world
I-I rule the world
When I rule the world
When I rule the world
The world the world
[Chorus]
When I rule the world, then you're the little girl
You should do as I say 'cause things are gonna be my way
I rule the world, so get down on your knees
Better do as I please, until I tell you to stop
When I Rule the world...(so things are gonna be my way)
When I Rule the world...(so things are gonna be my way)
When I Rule the world...(so things are gonna be my way)
When I Rule the world...(so things are gonna be my way)


[Outro]
'Til I tell you to
'Til I tell you to
'Til I tell you to stop

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 [?]
