Disney`s The Lion King 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! 

  

 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 

 (Oooh!) 

 Mericulous 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 

 Be prepared! 

  

 Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared 

 Be prepared
