Be Prepared

Be Prepared - London Theatre Ensemble

I never thought hyenas essential

They're crude and unspeakably plain

But maybe they've a glimmer of potential

If allied to my vision and brain

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 erao

Is tiptoeing 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

And injustice deliciously squared

Be prepared

Be prepared

Yeah

We'll be prepared For what

For the death of the king

What he sick

No fool

And kill him and Simba

Too

Hey Great idea

Who needs a king

No king no king

La la la la

Idiots

There will be a king

But you said

I will be king

Stick with me and you'll never

Go hungry again

Yay all right

Long live the king

Long live the king

It it it it it

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

You won't get a sniff without me

So prepare for the coup of the century

Be prepared for the murkiest scam

Oooh La La La

Meticulous planning

Tenacity spanning

Decades 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

Yes

Our teeth and ambitions are bared

Be prepared

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
