Be Prepared Songtext
von Chiwetel Ejiofor

Mufasa has always shown too much restraint
When it comes to hunting
When I am King
The mighty will be free to take whatever they want
Because a hyena′s belly is never full

(Mufasa's far too powerful to challenge)
Mufasa is yesterday′s message
A clapped-out, distracted regime
Whose failings undoubtedly presage
The need for a different dream

Yes, leonine times are a-changin'
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
The cage 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...

(Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared, be prepared)
Be prepared...
(Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared, be prepared)
Be prepared!
(Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared, be prepared)
Be prepared (Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared-)
Be prepared!
(Be prepared, be prepared, be prepared, be prepared)

Yes our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!
