Lyrics
Banzai:
- He called us slobbering!
Shenzi:
- Said we were mangy!
Banzai:
- Did I hear stupid?
Ed:
- Huh?
Shenzi & Banzai:
- Tell us again-- gee
- It's so incredible
Shenzi:
- That you're so rude
Banzai:
- When you're so edible
Shenzi & Banzai:
- When you are food!
Banzai:
- It's time to chow down
Shenzi & Banzai:
- Chow down!
- Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down
Shenzi:
- I'm chompin' at the bit, baby
Banzai:
- My stomach's on the growl, son
Shenzi & Banzai:
- Chow down!
- Chow down!
- You both been invited on a date
- Two courses handed to us on a plate
- We'll have you raw, won't be long to wait
- Seeing you're already brown
- Chow down!
- Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down!
Banzai:
- Your ribs are looking so tasty
Shenzi:
- Such chewy little chops, chums
Shenzi & Banzai:
- Eat up!
Shenzi:
- Now wasn't it her mom who ate your dad?
Shenzi & Banzai:
- And having parents eaten makes us mad
Banzai:
- We're gonna settle up the score a tad
Shenzi & Banzai:
- We've never had a snack of such renown
- Chow down!
- Chow down!
Ed:
- Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-
Shenzi:
- What, Ed? What is it?
Banzai:
- Hey, did we order this dinner to go?
Shenzi:
- No
Banzai:
- Well, there it goes!
Shenzi & Banzai:
- I think we should begin the meal from scratch
- So many juicy segments to detach
- Be good as gold for you're as good as carved
Shenzi:
- Here, kitty kitty...
Shenzi & Banzai:
- We're starved!
