Lyrics[]
Guards: Well, we've been cooped up in this castle,
So who cares what people say,
We haven't had a chance to dance since we were on Broadway, hey!
Guards should follow orders,
Brokers refinance,
But now we boys, let's make some noise! Pick up your heels and dance! Hey!
Balls were made for bouncing,
Picnics are for ants
Guards were made for guarding
But wouldn't you rather dance? Hey!
Ba ba ba da ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba da ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba, hey!
Background Information[]

- It resembles "Kossaks in Berlin" ("Казаки в Берлине"), a song performed in Soviet Russia during World War II.
- This number could be a reference to "The Knights of the Round Table" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
- The line "We haven't had a chance to dance since we were on Broadway" is most likely a reference to the Broadway musicals Wicked and The Wiz.
