The Lion King Music

LYRICS

[Simba:] I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware!

[Zazu:] Well I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair

[Simba:] I'm gonna be the main event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my roar

[Zazu:] Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing

[Simba:] Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

[Simba:] No one saying do this
[Nala:] No one saying be there
[Simba:] No one saying stop that
[Nala:] No one saying see here
[Zazu:] Now see here!
[Simba:] Free to run around all day
Free to do it all my way

[Zazu:] I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart

[Simba] Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start

[Zazu:] If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about
This child is getting wildly out of wing

[Simba:] Oh, I just can't wait to be king

Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight

[Animals:] Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling

[Simba:] Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

LYRICS

[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'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 when 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:] Yeah, be prepared!
We'll be prepared...for what?
[Scar:] For the death of the king
[Banzai:] Why? Is he sick?
[Scar:] No, fool, we're gonna kill him, and Simba, too
[Shenzi:] Great idea! Who needs a king?
[Banzai & Shenzi:] No king, no king, la, la, la, la, la, la
[Scar:] Idiots! There will be a king!
[Banzai:] But you said...
[Scar:] I will be king!
Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again
[Banzai & Shenzi:] Yay! All right! Long live the king!
[Hyenas:] Long live the king! Long live the king!

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!

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

[Hyenas:] Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!

Young Nala, Rafiki and Sarabi:

Hamela Hamela Hamela hamela Ha Ha

(Repeat until everyone joins)

All:

Hamela Hamela Hamela Hamela Ha ha

Scar:

Mufasa's death is a terrible tragedy.

But to lose Simba too?

For me it is a deep personal lose.

So it is with a heavy heart

That I assume the throne.

Yet out of the ashes of this terrible

tradgedy, we shall rise to greet the

dawning of a new era

In which lion and hyena will come

together in a great, and glorious

Future!

Hyenas:

(Cheer)

All (except the hyena's and scar)

Hamela Hamela Hamela

Hyena's: Hem

Hamela ha ha

(repeat till the end of the song)

Hyena's:

Hem!

Hem!

Hem!

Hem!

TIMON:
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase

Why, when he was a young warthog

PUMBAA:
When I was a young warthog

Very nice

PUMBAA (spoken):
Thanks

TIMON:
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after ev'ry meal

PUMBAA:
I'm a sensitive soul though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And, oh, the shame

TIMON:
Oh, the shame!

PUMBAA:
Thought of changin' my name

TIMON:
What's in a name?

PUMBAA:
And I got downhearted

LYRICS

Fatshe Leso lea ha la le la.

Fatshe Leso lea ha la le la

Shadowland, the leaves have fallen.

This shadowed land, this was our home.

The river's dry, the ground has broken.

So I must go, now I must go.

And where the journey may lead me,

let your prayers be my guide.

I cannot stay here, my family,

but I'll remember my pride.

Prideland, my land tearstained dry land.

Take this with you, fatshe leso.

And where the journey may lead me,

And where the journey may lead you,

Let this prayer be your guide.

Let this prayer be my guide.

Though it may take me so far away,

Though it may take you so far away,

I will remember my pride.

Always remember your pride.

Ngizobuyabo.

Ngizobuyabo.

And where the journey may lead you,

I will return, I will return. Besobo.

let this prayer be your guide.

Ngizobuyabo, I will return.

Though it may take you so far away,

Nigizobuyabo.

Always remember your pride.

Oh, ngizobuyabo.

Besobo, my people. Besobo

LYRICS

[Timon:] I can see what's happening
[Pumbaa:] What?

[Timon:] And they don't have a clue!

[Pumbaa:] Who?

[Timon:] They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line

Our trio's down to two

[Pumbaa:] Oh

[Timon:] The sweet caress of twilight
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air

[Chorus:] Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things

[Simba:] So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past?
Impossible!
She'd turn away from me

[Nala:] He's holding back, he's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the king I know he is
The king I see inside?

[Chorus:] Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things

Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Love is where they are

[Timon:] And if he falls in love tonight
It can be assumed
[Pumbaa:] His carefree days with us are history
[Timon & Pumbaa:] In short, our pal is doomed
