[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
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!
[Pre-Chorus]
So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer
And where do you feature?
Just listen to teacher
[Chorus]
I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!
[Interlude]
Yeah, be prepared! For what?
For the death of the king!
Why? 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!
I will be king!
(Long live the king!)
Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again!
[Verse 2]
It's great that you'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!
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
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!
Long live the king
