Jeremy Irons - Be Prepared ф "Король Лев"

SCAR
spoken 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.

sung 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!

BANZAI
spoken Yeah! Be prepared.
We'll be prepared. For what?

SCAR
spoken For the death of the king!

BANZAI
spoken Is he sick?

SCAR
spoken No, fool! We're going to kill him... and Simba too!

SHENZI
spoken Great idea! Who needs a king?

BANZAI AND SHENZI
spoken No king, No king, nah nah nah nah nah nah!

SCAR
spoken Idiots! There will be a king!

BANZAI
spoken But you said...

SCAR
spoken I will be king!
Stick with me, and you'll never be hungry again!

BANZAI AND SHENZI
spoken Yay, all right!
Long live the king!
Long live the king!

HYENAS
sung It's great that we'll soon be connected
With a king who'll be all-time adored

SCAR
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

HYENAS
So prepare for the coup of the century

SCAR

Be prepared for the murkiest scam
Meticulous planning
Tenacity spanning
Decades of denial
Is simply why I'll
Be king undisputed
Respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I am

HYENAS
Ooooh!
We'll have food!
Lots of food
We repeat
Endless meat

SCAR
Yes my teeth and ambitions are bared

SCAR AND HYENAS
Be prepared!
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!
