[Verse 1] I found a paper crown in the corner booth next to a spilled blue drink and a stack of old truths You said, "Wear it now" like it was no joke so I sat up straight and the whole room smoked [Pre-Chorus] One more spin one more grin I was ready to begin [Chorus] Paper cup crown on my head, on my head Paper cup crown I was born like that instead Paper cup crown keep it loud, keep it loud Paper cup crown make a fool look proud [Verse 2] The janitor laughed as he swept the floor but he nodded at me like he'd seen it before There was mustard on my sleeve and a card in my shoe I took my little throne and I looked right through [Pre-Chorus] One more spin one more grin I was ready to begin [Chorus] Paper cup crown on my head, on my head Paper cup crown I was born like that instead Paper cup crown keep it loud, keep it loud Paper cup crown make a fool look proud [Bridge] Maybe it's cheap maybe it's bent maybe it falls apart the minute I stand Still I held it high in the afternoon like a tiny sun in a rented room [Final Chorus] Paper cup crown on my head, on my head Paper cup crown I was born like that instead Paper cup crown keep it loud, keep it loud Paper cup crown make a fool look proud Paper cup crown yeah, I wore it proud
