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
Shenzi:

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!
Hyena:

Yeah! We prepared! We will be prepared, for what?
Scar:

For the death of the king!
Hyena:

Why? Is he sick?
Scar:

No, you fool, we’re gonna kill him… And Simba too!
Hyena:

Great idea! Who needs a king?
Hyenas:

No king, No king, lah lah
Lah lah lah lah!
Scar:

Idiots! There will BE a king!
Hyena:

Hey, you just said…
Scar:

I’m will be king
Stick with me, and you’ll
Never be hungry again!
Hyenas:

YEA!!!!!! Long live the king!

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!

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
(Aaaaaaaaaah!)
Respected, saluted
(Aaaaaaaaaah!)
And seen for the wonder I am
(Aaaaaaaaaah!)
Yes my teeth and ambitions
Are bared
Be prepared!

Hyenas:

Yes, our teeth and
Ambitions are bared
Be prepared!
