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 injustice 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 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 Oooooo, 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! |
