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 warthogs 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!   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   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!
