Prolog (Inte med i filmen)
[Scar:]
- 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
[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!

[Hyena kören:]
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
[Hyena kören:]
Oooh!
[Scar:]
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
[Hyena kören:]
Oooh... La! La! La!
[Scar:]
Meticulous planning
[Hyena kören:]
We'll have food!
[Scar:]
Tenacity spanning
[Hyena kören:]
Lots of food
[Scar:]
Decades of denial
[Hyena kören:]
We repeat
[Scar:]
Is simply why I'll
[Hyena kören:]
Endless meat
[Scar:]
Be king undisputed
[Hyena kören:]
Aaaaaaah...
[Scar:]
Respected, saluted
[Hyena kören:]
...aaaaaaah...
[Scar:]
And seen for the wonder I am
[Hyena kören:]
...aaaaaaah!
[Scar:]
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
[Hyena kören:]
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
[Scar:]
Be prepared!
[Hyena kören:]
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared -
Be prepared!
