Be Prepared
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know that you powers of retention
Are wet as a warthog's backside
But thick as you are - Pay atention!
My words are a matter of pride.
It's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions!
Even you can't be caught unawears!
So prepare for the chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shiny new era is tiptoeing nearer
(And we're 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!
Banzai: Be prepared? We'll be prepared... For what?
Scar: For the death of the king!
Banzai: Why, is he sick?
Scar: No, fool, we gonna kill him, and Simba too...
Hyenas: Good idea, who needs the king?
No king, no king, lalalalalara...
Scar: Idiots! There will be a king!
Banzai: But you said...
Scar: I will be king! Stick with me... And you never go hungry again!
Hyenas: Yeah! All right, long live the king! Long live the king! Hahahaha!
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 long duties on board.
The future is littered with prizes,
And thought I'm the main adressee.
The point that I must emphasize is...
You won't get a sniff without me!!!
So prepare for the couple of the century
Be prepared for the murkies scam!
Meticoulous planning
Tenacity spainning
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!
