 FS: From the day we arrive on the planet
 And, blinking, step into the sun
 There's more to see than can ever be seen
 More to do than can ever be done

 There's far too much to take in here
 More to find than can ever be found
 But the sun rolling high
 Through the sapphire sky
 Keeps great and small on the endless round

 It's the Circle of Life
 And it moves us all

 Through despair and hope
 Through faith and love

 Till we find our place
 On the path unwinding

 In the Circle
 The Circle of Life

 FS: It's The Circle of Life

 And it moves us all
 Through despair and hope
 Through faith and love

 Till we find our place

 On the path unwinding

 In the Circle
 The Circle of Life
 

I Just Can't Wait to be King
 
 

Simba: I'm gonna be a mighty king   So enemies beware!   Zazu: Well, I've never seen a king of beasts  With quite so little hair   Simba: I'm gonna be the mane event   Like no king was before   I'm brushing up on looking down   I'm working on my ROAR   Zazu: Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing   Simba: Oh, I just can't wait to be king!   Zazu: {Speaking} You've rather a long way to go, young master,       if you think...   Simba: No one saying do this   {Zazu: Now when I said that, I--}   Nala: No one saying be there   {Zazu: What I meant was...}   Simba: No one saying stop that   {Zazu: Look, what you don't realize...}   Simba and Nala: No one saying see here   {Zazu: Now see here!}   Simba: Free to run around all day   {Zazu: Well, that's definitely out...}   Simba: Free to do it all my way!   Zazu: I think it's time that you and I  Arranged a heart to heart   Simba: Kings don't need advice   From little hornbills for a start   Zazu: If this is where the monarchy is headed  Count me out!  Out of service, out of Africa  I wouldn't hang about... aagh!  This child is getting wildly out of wing   Simba: Oh, I just can't wait to be king!   Everybody look left   Everybody look right   Everywhere you look I'm   Standing in the spotlight!   Zazu: {Speaking, but in strict time} Not yet!   Chorus: Let every creature go for broke and sing    Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing    It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling   Simba & Chorus: Oh I just can't wait to be king!     Oh I just can't wait to be king!     Oh I just can't waaaaaait ... to be king!

 

Be Prepared

 Scar:

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 era
Is tiptoeing nearer

 Shenzi:
And where do we feature?

 Scar:
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!

 {Spoken}

 Banzai: Yeah, Be prepared. Yeah-heh... we'll be prepared, heh.
...For what?

 Scar: For the death of the king.

 Banzai: Why? Is he sick?

 Scar: No, fool-- we're going to kill him. And Simba too.

  Shenzi: Great idea! Who needs a king?

 Shenzi (and then Banzai):
No king! No king! la--la-la--la-laa-laa!

 Scar: Idiots! There will be a king!

 Banzai: Hey, but you said, uh...

 Scar: I will be king! ...Stick with me, and
you'll never go hungry again!

 Shenzi and Banzai: Yaay! All right! Long live the king!

 All Hyenas: Long live the king! Long live the king!

 {Full song again}

 Hyenas: {In tight, crisp phrasing and diction}
It's great that we'll soon be connected.
With a king who'll be all-time adored.

 Scar:
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
(Oooh!)
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
(Oooh... La! La! La!)
Meticulous planning
(We'll have food!)
Tenacity spanning
(Lots of food)
Decades of denial
(We repeat)
Is simply why I'll
(Endless meat)
Be king undisputed
(Aaaaaaah...)
Respected, saluted
(...aaaaaaah...)
And seen for the wonder I am
(...aaaaaaah!)

Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
(Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Be prepared!

 All:
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!
 

Hakuna Matata
 
 

Timon:   Hakuna Matata!   What a wonderful phrase   Pumbaa:   Hakuna Matata!   Ain't no passing craze   Timon:   It means no worries   For the rest of your days   Both:   It's our problem-free   Philosophy   Timon:   Hakuna Matata!   {Spoken section over background}   Simba:  Hakuna matata?   Pumbaa: Yeah, it's our motto.   Simba: What's a motto?   Timon: Nothing! What's a motto with you? Ahh ha ha ha...   Pumbaa: {Laughing} You know what, kid? These two words will   solve all your problems.   Timon: That's right! Take Pumbaa for example.   {Back into song}   Timon:   Why, when he was a young warthog...   Pumbaa: {Italian counter-tenor range}   When I was a young wart hoooog!   Timon: {Speaking, cleaning ear} Very nice.   Pumbaa: Thanks!   Timon: {Singing}   He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal   He could clear the savannah after every meal   Pumbaa:   I'm a sensitive soul, though I seem thick-skinned   And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind   And oh, the shame   {Timon: He was ashamed!}   Thoughta changin' my name   {Oh, what's in a name?}   And I got downhearted   {How did you feel?}   Ev'rytime that I...   Timon: {Speaking} Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!   Pumbaa: {Speaking} Oh... sorry.   Pumbaa and Timon:   Hakuna Matata!   What a wonderful phrase   Hakuna Matata!   Ain't no passing craze   Simba:   It means no worries   For the rest of your days  Timon:   Yeah, sing it, kid!   Simba and Timon:   It's our problem-free ...........   Pumbaa:   ..................... philosophy...   All three:   Hakuna Matata!

Can You Feel the Love Tonight
 
 

Timon:   I can see what's happening   (What?)   And they don't have a clue   (Who?)   They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line   Our trio's down to two.   (Oh.)   {In a sarcastic mock-French accent}   Ze sweet caress of twilight   {Back to normal, but still sarcastic}   There's magic everywhere   And with all this romantic atmosphere   Disaster's in the air   FS:   Can you feel the love tonight?   The peace the evening brings   The world, for once, in perfect harmony   With all its living things   Simba:   So many things to tell her   But how to make her see   The truth about my past? Impossible!   She'd turn away from me   Nala:   He's holding back, he's hiding   But what, I can't decide   Why won't he be the king I know he is   The king I see inside?   Chorus:   Can you feel the love tonight?   The peace the evening brings   The world, for once, in perfect harmony   With all its living things   Can you feel the love tonight?   You needn't look too far   Stealing through the night's uncertainties   Love is where they are   Timon:   And if he falls in love tonight   It can be assumed   Pumbaa:   His carefree days with us are history   Timon and Pumbaa:   In short, our pal is doomed
