Be Prepared Lyrics - Singles - Lion King

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! 

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! La la la la la la! 

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!
