[Instrumental intro with onomatopoeias]

[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!

[high voices snickering|

[Hyenas: {In tight, crisp phrasing and diction}]
It's great that we'll soon be connected.

[Scar:] Oh, look, you're connected all right! (merge with previous?)

[Hyenas:] With a king who'll be all-time adored.
[Scar:] ???

[Scar:] Of course, quid pro quo, well, 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!

[Scars:] Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah aaaah, grrrr ah ah ah grrr

[Sigh] OK, that's just crazy. Sorry: I didn't mean to end the video that way.
