_ I never thought hyenas [Dm] essential. _
_ _ _ [Em] _ They're crude [Am] and unspeakably plain. _ _ _ _
_ Maybe they've [Dm] a glimmer of _ potential_
[B] _ _ _ allied to my [E] vision and brain.
_ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [A] I know [Am] that your powers of [D] retention
[Dm] _
_ [G] are as wet as a warthog's [Am] backside.
_ As thick as you are, [Dm] pay attention!
_ [Em] My words are a matter [Am] of pride.
_ [C] It's [Cm] clear from your vacant [A] expression
_ [C] the [Cm] lights are not all on [Am] us, eh? _
_ [G] We are talking kings [C] and successions.
Even [E] you can't be caught unawares. _
[Am] So prepare for the chance [F] of a lifetime.
Be [G] prepared for sensational [C] news.
_ A [Am] shining new era [G] is tiptoeing nearer.
[Em] And where [Am] do we feature?
[F] Just [G] listen to teacher.
[C] I know it sounds sordid, but you'll be rewarded
[A] when at last I am given [Dm] my dues.
[B] And injustice _ [E] deliciously squared. Be [Am] prepared!
_ _ [F] _
Yeah, be prepared.
[C] We'll be prepared.
[D] For what?
For the death of the king.
[Em] Is he sick?
No, fool, [Am] we're gonna kill him.
[A] Simba too.
[C] Great idea!
Who needs a [D] king?
No king, no king, [E] la la la [G] la la la!
Idiots!
[Am] There will be a king!
But you [Cm] said that_
I will be [A] king!
Stick with [Eb] me and you'll never [Am] go hungry again!
[G] A king!
_ [C] _
A [G] king!
A [B] king!
_ _ [E] _ _
_ [Am] It's great that we'll soon be [Dm] connected _
with [Em] a king who'll be all time [Am] adored. _
_ Of course, quid pro quo.
[Dm] You're expected _ [G] to take certain duties [Am] on board.
_ [Cm] The future is littered [Am] with prizes.
[Cm] And though I remain [Am] at a tee,
_ _ [G] the point that I must [C] emphasize is
you [E] won't get a sniff without me!
So [Am] come on, for the coup [Dm] of a century.
_ [G] Be prepared for the [C] murkiest scam.
_ _ [Em] [Am] Meticulous planning, [Dm] tenacity [G] spanning
[Em] decades [Am] of denial [Dm] is [G] strictly vile.
[C] The king on disputed respect
is dead salute [A] and seen for the wonder [Dm] I am.
_ [Bm] Yes, my teeth and ambitions [E] are fair.
[Am] Be prepared! _ _ _ _
[F] _ [Dm] Yes, our teeth and ambitions [Am] are fair.
Be prepared!
