Hyena 1: Will you knock it off!
Look at you guys.
No wonder we are dangling at the bottom of the food chain.

Hyena 2: Man, I hate dangling.

Hyena 3: You know, if it were not for these lions  we’d be runnin’ the joint.

Hyena 2: Man, I hate lions.
...

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 are talking kings and successions.
Even you can’t be caught unaware.
So prepare for the chance of a lifetime.
Be prepared for sensational news;
a shining new era is tiptoeing nearer.

Hyenas: 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 1: Yeah, be prepared

Hyena 2 We’ll be prepared

Hyena 3: For what?

Scar: For the death of the king.

Hyena 1: Why? Is he sick?

Scar: No fool, we’re gonna kill him, and Simba too.

Hyena 2: Great idea. Who needs a king?

Hyenas: No king! No king! La, la, la, la, la, la.

Scar: Idiots! There will be a king.
Hyena 1: Hey, but you said ...

Scar: I’ll be king.
Stick with me and you’ll never go hungry again.

Hyenas: Long live the king!
Long live the king!
It’s great that we soon will be connected
with a king who’ll be all time adored.

Scar: Of course, quid pro quo!
You are expected to take certain duties on board.
The future is littered with prizes.
And though I am 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!
Meticulous planning, tenacity spanning!              Hyenas: We’ll have food, lots of food.
Decades of denial is simply why I’ll be king;                  We repeat:
undisputed, respected, saluted                                    endless meat!
and seen for the wonder I am.
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared.
Be prepared!

Hyenas: Yes our teeth and ambitions are bared.

All: Be prepared
