Be prepared lyrics

Be Prepared Song Lyrics

Song from The Lion King

[Scar:]

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

[Shenzi:]

And where do we feature?

[Scar:]

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!

[Spoken]

[Banzai:] Yeah, Be prepared.

Yeah-heh... we'll be prepared, heh.

...For what?

[Scar:] For the death of the king.

[Banzai:] Why? Is he sick?

[Scar:] No, fool-- we're going to kill him. And Simba too.

[Shenzi:] Great idea! Who needs a king?

[Shenzi (and then Banzai):]

No king! No king! la--la-la--la-laa-laa!

[Scar:] Idiots! There will be a king!

[Banzai:] Hey, but you said, uh...

[Scar:] I will be king! ...Stick with me, and

you'll never go hungry again!

[Shenzi and Banzai:] Yaay! All right! Long live the king!

[All Hyenas:] Long live the king! Long live the king!

[Full song again]

[Hyenas: {In tight, crisp phrasing and diction}]

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 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

(Oooh!)

Be prepared for the murkiest scam

(Oooh... La! La! La!)

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

(Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo)

Be prepared!

[All:]

Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared

Be prepared!

Be Prepared 2019 Lyrics

Scar:(spoken)Mufasa has always shown too much restraint when it comes to hunting.
When I’m king, the mighty will be free to take whatever they want, because a hyena’s belly is never full.

Shenzi:(spoken) Mufasa’s far too powerful to challenge…

Scar: Mufasa is yesterday’s message
A clapped-out, distracted regime
Whose failings undoubtedly presage
The need for a different dream

Yes, leonine times are a-changing
Which means that hyenas must too
My vision is clear and wide-ranging
And even encompasses you

So, prepare for the coup of the century
Prepare 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!

Hyena Clan: Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared, be prepared
Be prepared, be prepared
(Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared, be prepared)
Be prepared
(Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared, be prepared)
Be prepared
(Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared, be prepared)

Scar/Hyena Clan: Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!
