Be Prepared

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 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 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 in justice 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're going to kill him and Simba, too

Great idea! Who needs a king?

No king, no king! 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!

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 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

Meticulous planning tenacity spanning

Decades of denial is simply why I'll

Be king undisputed respected, saluted

And seen for the wonder I am

Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared-

Be prepared!

Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared-

Be prepared!
