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 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!
