#nowplaying The Lion King - Be Prepared

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 warthogs 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

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 in justice deliciously squared

Be prepared!

Yeah! Be prepared, we'll be prepared! For what?

For the death of the king

Is he sick?

No, fool! We're going to kill him and Simba, too

Great idea! Who needs a king?

No king, no king! La la 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'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

Meticulous planning [we have food]

tenacity spanning [lots of food]

Decades of denial [we repeat]

is simply why I'll [endless meat]

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!

OST of The Lion King (1994)

This is my favorite song from the movie. The melody and lyrics are so catchy, unfortunately this is the song of the antagonist, haha. Love the movie as well. Simba is so cool I wish I could marry him.

Look how handsome he is ^///^

Talking about The Lion King will be incomplete if I don't mention my favorite quote in this movie.

Adult Simba: I know what I have to do. But going back means I'll have to face my past. I've been running from it for so long.
[Rafiki hits Simba on the head with his stick]
Adult Simba: Ow! Jeez, what was that for?
Rafiki: It doesn't matter. It's in the past. 
Adult Simba: Yeah, but it still hurts.

"Oh yes, the past can hurt. But from the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it." - Rafiki (The Lion King, 1994)

(I pick this conversation from: here)

I tremble when I write down the quote above. Movie for kids can teach adults as well.
