The Selfish Song is the fourth and final song from the VeggieTales episode King George and the Ducky.
Lyrics
Melvin (Pa Grape): So, King George... whadja learn today?
King George (Larry the Cucumber): What'd I learn? Lemme tell ya! Today... I learned...
(music starts)
That bein' selfish… doesn't pay
I tried it... just the other day
I wanted to be happy
I thought it was the way, but it weren't!
Louis (Bob the Tomato): I think you mean "wasn't," it "wasn't" the way...
King George: Well, now I know just what to do
Before I think about me, I'd better think about you
So send the message out to every boy and girl
There's no better way to make a really yucky world...
(Pause as Thomas (Junior Asparagus), Melvin and Louis join King George. They glance at each other, then start again.)
King George: Than being selfish!
Others: Selfish, ooooh...
King George: It doesn't pay! I tried it...
Others: He tried it – just the other day!
King George: Uh huh! I wanted to be happy
Others: He thought it was the way
King George: But it weren't
Others: (repeat – fading out) Weren't (6x)
King George: (repeat – fading out) No it weren't!
(Louis drops out of the group and tries to insert the correct word, "wasn't," but no one listens)
Louis: Wasn't.
