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!      [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!      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!
