Be Prepared Lyrics - Children

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! 

Be prepared for what? 

For the death of the king! 

Why? Is he sick? 

No, you fool, we're going to kill him... and Simba too! 

Great idea! Who needs a king? 

No king, No king, nah nah nah nah nah nah! 

Idiots! There will BE a king! 

But you just said... 

I will be king! 

Stick with me, and you'll never be hungry again! 

YEA!!!!!! 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 

(Ooooh!) 

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 

(Aaaaaaaaaah!) 

Respected, saluted 

(Aaaaaaaaaah!) 

And seen for the wonder I am 

(Aaaaaaaaaah!) 

Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared 

Be prepared! 

Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared 

Be prepared!
