be prepared

[Scar:]
I never thought hyenas essential:
They're crude and unspeakably plain,
But may be 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!

[Banzai:]
Yeah! Be prepared!
We'll be prepared. For what?

[Scar:]
For the death of the king!

[Banzai:]
Is he sick?

[Scar:]
No, fool! We're going to kill him... and Simba too!

[Shenzi:]
Great idea! Who needs a king?

[Banzai and Shenzi:]
No king, no king, nah nah nah nah nah nah!

[Scar:]
Idiots! There will be a king!

[Banzai:]
But you said...

[Scar:]
I will be king!
Stick with me, and you'll never be hungry again!

[Banzai and Shenzi:]
Yay, all right!
Long live the king!
Long live the king!

[Hyenas:]
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

[Scar and Hyenas:]
So prepare for the coup of the century,
Be prepared for the murkiest scam!

[Scar:]
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!

Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!

Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared -
