The Emperor’s New School Lyrics
He’s on his way to the throne
He’s on his way to success
But he has to go to school
He’s got to ace that test
He’s an emperor to be
And he’s totally…
(You know it’s all about me!)
Exactly! Go, go!
He’s going to Kuzco Academy
He’s got to learn his ABC’s
Don’t try to stop him, to top him
To destroy him, right? Uh!
K-U-Z-C-O!
Kuzco, Kuzco, go, go!
He’s got the cool, he’s got the charm and the looks
And the hottie that can help him read those things called books!
He’s going to Kuzco Academy (Come on, Kuzco!)
And to fulfill his destiny
His friends are loyal, it’s royal
They’ll help him against the foil!
(Friends? I thought this was all about me! Ha ha!)
Spell my name again!
K-U-Z-C-O!
Kuzco, Kuzco, go, go!

Academy Briefing: Easy Breakdown
The Emperor’s New School serves as a direct spin-off from the Disney film The Emperor’s New Groove. In this series, Kuzco is told he isn’t officially the Emperor yet—he has to graduate from Kuzco Academy first. If he fails even one class, the villainous Yzma (disguised as Principal Amzy) becomes Empress.
The theme song perfectly captures Kuzco’s narcissistic yet lovable personality. It’s a high-energy pop-rap track that highlights the show’s premise: a spoiled royal forced to hit the books. It also introduces the supporting cast, including his “loyal” friends Pacha and Kronk, and his crush/tutor, Malina.
