"Can You Feel the Hype Tonight?"

Can you see what's happening
With "Lion King" of late?
The marketing people have guaranteed
Our pocketbooks they rape.

The sweet caress of profits
'Cause Simba's everywhere.
And if you don't purchase him for your kids
They'll cry, tear out your hair!

Refrain:
Can you feel the hype tonight
Created for that flick?
The Disney way, it's total overkill
And really makes you sick.

So many ways to push it,
On tapes and sing-a-long,
And on the radio, there's Elton John,
He's every other song.

They think the tunes are catchy,
"Hakuna Matata"
It means "no worries"--up until the day
The Oscars vote them "Blah!"

[Repeat refrain]

Can you feel the hype tonight?
You needn't look so fine.
Disney claims this film's its greatest one,
Hype will make it shine!

And if you think it's bad today,
You can rest assured
That when the videos hit the marketplace
Its hype will be absurd.

[Repeat refrain]
