Lyrics : Rush Hour
Chorus:
You should know
Who runs this town
It is the Empress
Who wears the crown
Learn this, Hat Kid, better run and hide
Tried to steal from the queen, now you’re gonna die
Stick your hand in the jar, you’re gonna get fried
‘Cause no one gets away from the Empress tonight
Empress:
No mistakes, time to pay for your childish greed
This is what you get when you try to cross me
Looks like there never was honor among thieves
This is what you get for stealing from the queen!
Chorus:
You should know
Who runs this town
It is the Empress
Who wears the crown
You should know
Who runs this town
It is the Empress
Who wears the crown
Empress:
No mistakes, time to pay for your childish greed
This is what you get when you try to cross me
Looks like there never was honor among thieves
This is what you get for stealing from the queen!
Hat Kid:
Gotta run, I gotta go
Ticket’s punched, ride the metro
The cat’s got the claws out
Got no time left to pause now
Evading her power
Running through rush hour
Now I’ve done the crime
I’m taking back my time!
Empress:
Could have been something more staying at my side
Take the jewels like a fool, I take your hide
Lazy paws, do your job, now we’re out to ride
Show her who makes the trains run on time!
Make an example of every treachery
This is what you get when you try to cross me
Took a piece of the pie for your gluttony
But I’ll carve out what’s mine, no one steals from the queen!
Let’s do a test, see if you’ve got nine lives
Then take ‘em all, ‘til you’re paying the price
You should have known this wouldn’t be nice
You can’t escape from the Empress Eyes!
Chorus:

Hat Kid:
I’m taking back my time
I’m taking back what’s mine
I’m gonna board the train
I’m hopping down the line
So goodbye Empress
I’m reassigned
Chorus:
Sound the alarm, nobody gets away
Empress wants her head on a plate
Put on a bounty, we’d retire in days!
Saddle up, cats, we’re gonna get paid!
Hat Kid:
I’m taking back my time
I’m taking back what’s mine
I’m gonna board the train

Empress:
Could have been something more staying at my side
Take the jewels like a fool, I take your hide
Lazy paws, do your job, now we’re out to ride
Show her who makes the trains run on time!
When you take from the vault, you will grind to a halt
You will bow and exalt, or you’ll taste the asphalt
No one challenges the crown, turn the place upside down
You can’t hide from my eyes ‘cause the cats run the town
When you take from the vault, you will grind to a halt
You will bow and exalt, or you’ll taste the asphalt
No one challenges the crown, turn the place upside down
You can’t hide from my eyes ‘cause the cats run the town
Chorus:
