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 the chance of a lifetime,
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era is tip-toeing nearer
And where do we feature?
Just listen to teacher.
I know it sounds sordid,
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues,
Bm7flat5 E
Be prepared!
Yeah, be prepared, heh, heh,
We'll be prepared, heh.
For what?
For the death of the king!
Why, is he sick?
No fools, we're gunna kill him
And Simba too
No king, no king, la la la la la la!
Idiots! There will be a king!
Hey but you said er--
I WILL BE KING!
Stick with me, and you'll never go hungry again!
Yay, alright!
Yeah,alright!
Alright!
Long live the king,
It's great that we'll soon be connected
With a king who'll be all time adored.
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,
Bm7flat5 E
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.
Bm7flat5 E
Be Prepared!
Bm7flat5 E
Be prepared!
