I know that your powers of retention

Are as wet as a warthog's backside

But thick as you are, pay attention

My words are a matter of pride



It's clear from your vacant expression

The lights are not all on upstairs

But we're talking kings and successions

Even you can't be caught unawares



So prepare for a chance of a lifetime

Be prepared for sensational news

A shining new era

Is tiptoeing nearer



And where do we feature?

Just listen to teacher

I know it sounds sordid

But you'll be rewarded

When at last I am given my dues!

And injustice deliciously squared

Be prepared!



[Hyenas] Yeah, we'll be prepared.

Be prepared for what?

[Scar] For the death of the king.

[Hyenas] Why, is he sick?

[Scar] No, fools. We'll kill him. And Simba too!

[Hyenas] Great idea! Who needs a king? No king, no king, la la la la la la.

[Scar] Idiots! There will be a king!

[Hyenas] Hey, but you said, uh...

[Scar] I will be king. Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again!

[Hyenas] Yay! All right!

Long live the king!

Long live the king!



It's great that we'll soon be connected

With a king who'll be all-time adored



Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected

To take certain duties on board

The future is littered with prizes

And though I'm the main addresse

The point htat I must emphasize is

You won't get a sniff without me



So prepare for the coup of the centrury

Be prepared for the murkiest scam (Oooh!)

Meticulous planning (We'll have food!)

Tenacity spanning (Lots of food)

Decades of denial (We repeat)

Is simply why I'll (Endless meat)

Be king undisputed (Aaaaaaah!)

Respected, saluted (Aaaaaaah!)

And seen for the wonder I am (Aaaaaaah!)



Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared

Be prepared!



Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared

Be prepared
