Be Prepared (From "The Lion King")

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?
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!
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
Ooooh!
Meticulous planning
Tenacity spanning
Decades of denial
We repeat 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!
