Be Prepared

I never thought hyenas essential
 They're crude and unspeakably plain
 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 injustice deliciously squared
 Be prepared
 Yeah, be prepared
 Yeah, 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 laa laa)
 Idiots, there will be a king
 (Hey, but you said, uh)
 I will be king
 Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again
 (Yeah, yeah-yeah)
 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
 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
