Zazu, why am I not loved?

I am that rare and awesome thing

I'm every inch a king

Yet I feel a twinge of doubt

As I go walk about



Hey, boss!



When my name is whispered through the pride

Is this talk of love or regicide?



Reggie who?



Tell me I'm adored

Please tell me I'm adored



Hey, boss!



Oh, what is it?



We got a bone to pick with you



There's no food, no water--



Yeah. It's dinnertime, and there ain't no

stinkin' entres!



Oh, you and your petty complaints. You don't know what real hunger is.

Day after day it gnaws at the very core of my being



I had that once. It was worms



No, no, no... it's like an itch... deep, persistent, profound...



That's it-- worms! When they get really bad all you gotta do is... hunker

down and scoot



Thanks for the tip. Ingrates! If it weren't for me you'd be beating off

buzzards for your next bite!



Yeah, you're our savior, thanks a bunch

But how about some lunch?

It doesn't matter if it's fresh

I need a fix of flesh

My bones have moved to where they've never been

They are on the outside looking in



Are you blaming me?



Oh no, it's the lionesses



You are so adored

Oh, you are so adored



That's more like it



But what I'd give for one more hit

Of wildebeest kielbasa

Or maybe hornbill on the spit...



Oh, how I miss Mufasa



Mufasa?! Mufasa?! How dare you! I told you never to mention that name!



Note taken. I shall never mention "M-m-m" again



Even in death, his shadow looms over me

There he is!

No! There he is!

And there!



Calm yourself, Sire, or you'll get another one of your splitting

headaches!



I am perfectly fine!

I'm better than Mufasa was

I'm revered

I am reviled

I'm idolized

I am despised

I'm keeping calm

I'm going wild!



I tell myself I'm fine

Yes I am, no you're not

Yes I am, no you're not

I tell myself I'm fine



No you're not, yes I am, no you're not

Yes I am

No you're not

Yes, no, yes, no, who am I talking to...?



Oh, pull yourself together, Sire!



Oh, very well. Zazu? Zazu, Zazu, Zazu...?



Yes, Sire?



Nobody loved me, there's the rub, not even as a cub

What did my brother have that I don't have?



Do you want the short list or the long?



Whatever!



Well, he had adoring subjects... a loving family... a devoted queen...



That's it! I need a queen!



A what?



A queen, man! A queen! Without a queen, what am I? A dead end, no line, no

descendants, no future. With a queen, I'll have cubs... Immortality will

be mine! Immortality will be mine!



Scar



Ah, Nala... Your timing couldn't have been more perfect. My how you've

grown



Scar, you have got to do something. We're being forced to overhunt



She's got those assets feminine



You're the king. Control the hyenas



I have to make her mine



You're destroying the Pridelands



Nobility in every gene



If we don't stop now.. Don't you see...



She has to be my queen



...there's still a chance for things to be all right again...



Come, sweet Nala

It's written in the stars



What are you doing? Are you listening to me?



We'll create a host of little Scars



What are you talking about?



Tell me I'm adored



Get away from me



Tell me I'm adored

Oh, Nala... you know how I loathe violence... One way or another, you will

be mine



Never, Scar. Never!



You belong to me

You all belong to me
