(I never thought hyenas essential)
|
(They're crude and unspeakably plain)
|
(But maybe they've a glimmer of potential)
|
(If allied to my vision and brain)
|
|
I know that your powers of retention
|
Are as wet as a warthog's backside
|
But think as you are, pay attention
|
My words are a matter of pride
|
|
It's clear from your vacant expressions
|
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!
|
|
Yeah. Be Prepared.
|
We'll be prepared
|
...for what?
|
|
For the death of the king
|
|
Is he sick?
|
|
No, fool!
|
We are going to kill him...and Simba too.
|
|
Great idea!
|
Who needs a king?
|
No king, no king, la la la la la la
|
|
Idiots! There will be a king.
|
|
But you said...
|
|
I will be king!
|
Stick with me and you'll never go hungry again!
|
|
Yeah, all right!
|
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 addressee
|
The point that I must emphasize is
|
You won't get a sniff without me
|
|
So prepare for the coup of a century
|
|
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
|
(OOOOOO, la la la!)
|
Meticulous planning
|
(We'll have food!)
|
Tenacity planning
|
(Lot's of food!)
|
Decades of denial
|
(We repeat)
|
Is simply why I'll
|
(Endless meat)
|
Be king undisputed
|
(Aaaaaaaah!)
|
Respected, saluted
|
(Aaaaaaaah!)
|
And be seen for the wonder I am
|
(Aaaaaaaah!)
|
|
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
|
Be prepared!
|
|
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
|
Be prepared!
|
