Be Prepared (The Lion King)

Be Prepared is a Disney song from The Lion King.

Lyrics

 * 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] (spoken): And where do we feature?
 * [Scar] (spoken): Just listen to teacher.
 * [Scar] (sung): I know it sounds sordid,
 * But you'll be rewarded
 * When at last I am given my dues!
 * And injustice deliciously squared
 * Be prepared!


 * [Hyenas] Yeah, be prepared.
 * We'll be prepared.
 * For what?
 * [Scar] For the death of the king.
 * [Hyenas] Why, is he sick?
 * [Scar] No, fools. We'll kill him. And Simba too!
 * [Hyenas] Great idea! Who needs a king? No king, no king, la la la la la la.
 * [Scar] Idiots! There will be a king!
 * [Hyenas] But you said...
 * [Scar] I will be king. Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again!
 * [Hyenas] Yay! All right!
 * Long live the king!
 * Long live the king!


 * [Hyenas] (sung): 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 htat I must emphasize is You won't get a sniff without me


 * So prepare for the coup of the centrury,
 * Be prepared for the murkiest scam (Oooh!)
 * 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 (Aaaaaaah!)
 * Respected, saluted (Aaaaaaah!)
 * And seen for the wonder I am (Aaaaaaah!)


 * Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared,
 * Be prepared!


 * Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared,
 * Be prepared!
