Lion King - Be Prepared Lyrics
I never thought hyenas essentialThey're crude and unspeakably plainBut maybe they've a glimmer of potentialIf allied to my visishiton and brainI know that your powers of retentionAre as wet as a warthog's backsideBut thick as you are, pay attentionMy words are a matter of prideIt's clear from your vacant expressionsThe lights are not all on upstairsBut we're talking kings and successionsEven you can't be caught unawaresSo prepare for a chance of a lifetimeBe prepared for sensational newsA shining new eraIs tiptoeing nearerAnd where do we feature?Just listen to teacherI know it sounds sordidBut you'll be rewardedWhen at last I am given my dues!And injustice deliciously squaredBe prepared!Yeah! Be prepared. We'll be prepared! For what?For the death of the kingIs he sick?No, fool! We're going to kill him. And Simba, tooGreat idea! Who needs a king?No king, no king! 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!Yay, all right! Long live the king!Long live the king!It's great that we'll soon be connectedWith a king who'll be all-time adoredOf course, quid pro quo, you're expectedTo take certain duties on boardThe future is littered with prizesAnd though I'm the main addresseeThe point that I must emphasize isYou won't get a sniff without me!So prepare for the coup of the centuryBe prepared for the murkiest scamOooooo, la-la-la!Meticulous planningWe'll have food!Tenacity spanningLots of foodDecades of denialWe repeatIs simply why I'llEndless meatBe king undisputedRespected, salutedAnd seen for the wonder I amYes, my teeth and ambitions are baredBe prepared!Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared -Be prepared!
