Children Be Prepared Lyrics

Be Prepared Lyrics

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!







Be prepared for what?



For the death of the king!



Why? Is he sick?



No, you fool, we're going to kill him... and Simba too!



Great idea! Who needs a king?



No king, No king, nah nah nah nah nah nah!



Idiots! There will BE a king!



But you just said...



I will be king!



Stick with me, and you'll never be hungry again!



YEA!!!!!! 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



(Ooooh!)



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



(Aaaaaaaaaah!)



Respected, saluted



(Aaaaaaaaaah!)



And seen for the wonder I am



(Aaaaaaaaaah!)







Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared



Be prepared!



Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared



Be prepared!
