Be Prepared (Earth-923)

"Be Prepared" is one of the five songs written for The Lion King.

Lyrics
Scar: (spoken) Mufasa has always shown too much restraint when it comes to hunting. When I'm king, the mighty will be free to take whatever they want, because a hyena's belly is never full.

Shenzi: (spoken) Mufasa's far too powerful to challenge...

Scar: Mufasa is yesterday's message A clapped-out, distracted regime Whose failings undoubtedly pressage The need for a different dream

Yes leonine times are a-changing Which means that hyenas must too My vision is clear and wide-ranging And even encompasses you.

So prepare for the coup of the century Prepare 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 Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared Be prepared!

Hyenas: (chanting) Be prepared Be prepared Be prepared Be prepared

Scar: Be prepared

Hyenas: (chanting) Be prepared Be prepared Be prepared Be prepared

Scar: Be prepared

Hyenas: (chanting) Be prepared Be prepared Be prepared Be prepared

Scar: Be prepared Be prepared!

Scar/Hyena Clan: Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared Be prepared!
