I'm gonna be a mighty king.
BE PREPARED
Simba
I'm gonna be a mighty king.
So enemies beware!
Zazu
Well, I've never seen a king of beasts...
With quite so little hair
Simba
I'm gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my ROAR!!
Zazu
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
Simba
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Zazu (speaking)
You've rather a long way to go,
young master, if you think...
Simba
No one saying do this
Zazu
Now, when I said that i…
Nala
No one saying be there
Zazu
What I meant was…
Simba
No one saying stop that
Zazu
Look, what you don’t realize…
Simba and Nala
No one saying see here
Zazu
Now see here!
Simba
Free to run around all day
Zazu
Well, that’s definitely out…
Simba
Free to do it all my way!
Zazu
I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart
Simba
Kings don’t need advice
From little hornbills for a start
Zazu
If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out!
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about... aaagh!
This child is getting wildly out of wing
Simba
Oh I just can't wait to be king!
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight
Zazu
Not yet!
Chorus
Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling
Simba and chorus
Oh I just can't wait to be king!
Scar:
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 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 the chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer
Hyenas:
And where do we feature?
Scar:
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!
(spoken)
Banzai:
Yeah, be prepared. Yeah-heh. We'll be prepared, heh... For what?
Scar:
For the death of the king.
Hyenas:
Why? Is he sick?
Scar:
No, fool, we're going to kill him. And Simba too.
Hyenas:
Great idea! Who needs a king?
No king! No king! La... la-la... la-laa-laa!
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!
Yaay! All right! Long live the king!
Long live the king! Long live the king!
Hyenas:
It's great that we'll soon be connected.
With a king who'll be all-time adored.
Scar:
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 the century
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
(Ooooh… La! La! La!)
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 (Aaaaaaaaah…)
Respected, saluted
(…aaaaaaaah…)
And seen for the wonder I am
(…aaaaaaaaaah!)
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
(Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!)
Be prepared!
Hyenas:
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!
