"This Is The Thanks I Get?!" is a song, the fifth overall, in Disney's animated feature film Wish, sung by King Magnifico (Chris Pine).
The citizens of Rosas are close to revolting as they press Magnifico for greater transparency regarding what he is doing with their wishes. Magnifico goes back into his castle and vents about the ingratitude of his subjects, amid much complimenting himself on his good looks.
As part of "Wish Wednesdays", the song was fully released on October 25, 2023.[1]
I can't help it if mirrors love my face
It's genetics! Yeah, I got these genes from outer space
Peep the name, I'm magnificent
I put the "I" in "omnipotent"
I'm passionate, I'm not petulant
Someone praise me for my benevolence
Uh, just look, ha-ha
I'd give the clothes off Benito's back
If you really needed that
I'd be the first one to volunteer Henry
If your home were to crumble
Or if you werе in trouble
I let you live hеre for free
And I don't even charge you rent
I clean up all your messes
And I'm always there when you need to vent
I give and give and give and give
You'd think they'd all be content
And all I really want is just a little respect
And this is the thanks I get?
This is the thanks I get?
And this is the thanks I get?
And this is the thanks I get?
"You're so brilliant"
Ah, that's the least you could say
There's more, admit it
"You're cute and strong and bold and brave," thanks
See this kingdom? I built it up
And you still complain? Ungrateful much?
Mm, are you sure that you're not the prob?
I'd love to see you try and do my job, oh-ho!
I granted fourteen wishes last year
Come on, that's a high percent
And now you're questioning your king?
The disrespect I just underwent
You know I always got your back
Yeah, really though, it's no sweat
Since the day you were born and the day that we met
And this is the thanks I get?
This is the thanks I get?
And this is the thanks I get?
And this is the thanks I get?
I didn't wanna do this
I swore I'd never do this
But I'm hypnotized by how these pages flip
'Cause I refuse to have my power stripped
A potion, a spell, a summon, a curse?
Anything to make that light reverse
To this book, I don't wanna be tethered, but
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Brr, where was I? Oh, yeah
There's a traitor in this town
And still I remain unbent
Come out now, explain yourself
I'm sure it's all just an accident
Well, whoever finds them first
Now, that's a wish well spent
Honestly, keeping you safe should be worth every cent
And this is the thanks I get?
This is the thanks I get?
And this is the thanks I get?
This is the thanks I get?
Oh, this is the thanks I get?
