"We Know Better" is a deleted song from the animated film, . The first part of the song can be found in the deluxe edition soundtrack.

The song is about Elsa and Anna as little girls complaining about all the things princesses are expected to do, claiming they "know better." The song follows their adolescence, from being close best-friends, to Anna growing into a beloved classic variation of a princess, and Elsa into a loner and feared out-cast, and the divide that grows between the two, despite Elsa's attempts to keep their bond alive.

(Baby crying)
Elsa (Age 4): Hello little baby, you're princess just like me
Bet you're thinking maybe it's a pretty cool thing to be
But soon you'll see that everyone expects a lot from you
They'll say that there are things a princess should and shouldn't do
But you and me, we, we know better

Elsa (age 7) and Anna (age 4):1, 2, 3 together, clap together, snap together
You and me together, knees together, freeze together
Up or down together, princess crown together
Always be together, you and me

1, 2, 3 together, clap together, snap together
You and me together, knees together, freeze together
Up or down together, princess crown together
Always be together, you and me

Elsa (age 9): They say a princess is full of charm and grace
They say she always knows her place
They say a princess wears pink and frilly clothes
They say she never laughs and snorts milk out her nose
They say she's calm, they say she's kind
They say she never speaks her mind or freezes nanny's big behind

Elsa and Anna (age 6): But you and me, we, we know better

Nanny: You girls are in so much trouble! Wait until I tell your father...
Anna: How come you can do that and I can't?
Elsa: I don't know, I wish you could though...

Anna (age 9): They say a princess is super duper sweet

Elsa (age 12): She doesn't fight; she doesn't sweat

Both: And you never see her eat

Anna: They say a princess doesn't climb and scrape her knee

Elsa: They say a princess wouldn't freeze her tutor's tea

Anna: They say she's poised

Elsa: They say she's fair

Both: She never mentions UNDERWEAR!

Anna: Or longs to see the world out there

Both: But you and me, we, have big ideas of our own
For the distant someday when we're grown

Elsa (age 15): When I'm queen

Anna (age 12): And I'm your right hand

Elsa: You'll get to travel

Both: Throughout the land

Anna: I'll tell them of my sister and the magic things she can do

Elsa: We'll take care of our people and they will love

Both: Me and you
No one can tell us what a princess should be
As long as we're together, you and me

(End of Recorded First Half)

Female Towns Person 1: They say the Princess has strange and freakish Powers

Male Towns Person 2: They say she conjure, ice and snow within the castle tow'rs

Male Towns Person 3: They say she was born admits a hurricane of ice

Female Towns Person 4: That's why her heart is frozen

Male Towns Person 5: But the sister really nice

Female Towns Person 6: But Elsa's cold

Male Towns Person 7: And awfully bold

Males Towns Person 8 & Female Towns Person 9: What's more she cannot be controlled!

All Towns People: She'll be our Queen or so we're told

(Under their Breath) But we know better

Queen: Anna if you love your sister, you're going to have to lead by example.

King: The Kingdom is relying on you!

Anna: Yes father.

King: Your sister is your burden as well.

Elsa: They say a princess, learns elegance in school

Teacher: Chin up, Eyes Bright!

Elsa: She's trained in etiquette and follows every rule!

Anna: Spoon on the right!

Elsa: They teach a Princess to

Elsa and Anna: (reciting like drones) Copy-Word-for-Word

Elsa: They teach a princess to

Elsa and Anna: Be-Seen-and-Never-Heard!

Elsa: They say she doesn't dare or dream
They say she doesn't plan or scheme
Or go to any big extreme
To reunite a princess team

Elsa and Anna: But you and me
We... WHEE! We...Know... Better!

Female Friend: Hi Anna!

Male Friend: C'mon!

Female Friend: Join us!

Elsa (age 18): Oh, great...!

Anna (Age 15): (to Elsa) Elsa please?
Try to be friendly
Just smile and say hi!
Don't be defensive
And look them in the eye!

Elsa: (whispering) These kids are jerk!

Anna: I know it's hard
But your temper makes it worst
They don't understand your gift

Elsa: Yeah... They think it's a curse!

Anna: (sigh)

Elsa: They want me to stay mild and meek
I'm supposed to turn the other cheek
But if one more kid calls me a...
Wait for it...

Boy: FREAK!

Anna: Elsa! What did you do...?
I'm so sorry!
(under her breath to Elsa) You should know better

Anna (age 19): They say a princess
One day will meet her prince
She must enhance her beauty

Elsa (age 22): And maybe try some mints

Anna: Hmmm... They say that he'll have royal blood in every vein
With noble brow and chiseled face

Elsa: And microscopic brain

Anna: They say he'll come along one day

Elsa: With Royal Inbred D.N.A

Anna: And change your life in every way

Elsa: But you and me

We know better...

I'm doing a parody of that song. This parody of that song still has the same title but it's about Cindy, Chapa, and Alanna complaining about all the things sidekicks are expected to do, claiming they "know better."

(Alanna(Age 4)giggling and laughing)
Chapa(Age 12) and Cindy (Age 15): Hello Alanna, you're a sidekick just like us
Bet you're thinking maybe it's a pretty cool thing to be
But soon you'll see that everyone expects a lot from you
They'll say that there are things a sidekick should and shouldn't do

Chapa sparks her hand, making Alanna giggle and laugh in delight at her sister's powers/gift.

Chapa and Cindy continue singing.

But you and us, we, we know better

Alanna (Age 5), Chapa (Age 13) and Cindy (Age 16):1, 2, 3 together, clap together, snap together
You and me together, knees together, shape shift and zap together
Up or down together, sidekick mask together
Always be together, you and me

1, 2, 3 together, clap together, snap together
You and me together, knees together, shape shift and zap together
Up or down together, sidekick mask together
Always be together, you and me

Chapa (Age 14): They say a sidekick is full of charm and grace
They say she always knows her place
They say a sidekick wears a mask and suit
They say she never laughs and snorts milk out her nose
They say she's calm, they say she's kind
They say she never farts or zaps her friend's behind

Chapa zaps Mika's behind making the latter gasp.

Chapa continues to sing and Alanna and Cindy join.


Chapa, Alanna (Age 6), and Cindy (Age 17): But you and us, we, we know better

Mika: You girls are in so much trouble! Wait until I tell Ray...
Alanna and Cindy: How come you can do that and we can't?
Chapa: I don't know, I wish you guys could though...

Alanna (Age 7): They say a sidekick is super duper sweet

Chapa (Age 15): She doesn't burp; she doesn't sweat

Chapa, Alanna and Cindy(Age 18): And you never see her eat

Alanna burps making Chapa and Cindy giggle and laugh and Alanna giggles and laughs as well.


Alanna: They say a sidekick doesn't jump on the couch or bed

Chapa: They say a princess wouldn't zap her friend's pillow

Chapa zaps Miles's pillow.


Cindy: They say she's brave

Alanna: They say she's fair

Alanna, Chapa and Cindy: She never mentions UNDERWEAR!

Cindy: Or longs to see the world out there

Alanna, Chapa and Cindy : But you and me, we, have big ideas of our own
For the distant someday when we're grown

Alanna(Age 8), Chapa(Age 16), Cindy(Age 19): When we're not sidekicks anymore and become superheroes

Cindy: I'll get to travel

Alanna, Chapa, and Cindy: Throughout the land

Alanna, Chapa, and Cindy: I'll tell them of my sisters and the cool things they can do

Chapa: We'll take care of our people and they will love

Alanna, Chapa, and Cindy: Us
No one can tell us what a sidekick should be
As long as we're together, you and me
