Be Prepared

Lyrics

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 the 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!
 Why? Is he sick?
 No, fool, we're gonna 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, uh...
 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! Long live the king!
 King, king, king, king, king, 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 (Ooh, 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
 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!
