I know that your powers of retention. Are as wet as a warthog's backside. But think 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 caught unawares! So prepare for the chance of a lifetime. Be prepared for sensational news. A shining new era is tip toeing nearer. And where do we feature? Just listen to teacher. I know it sound sordid but you'll be rewarded. When at last I am given my dues. And injustice deliciously squared! Be Prepared!

Yeah be prepared, we'll be prepared. For what? For the death of the king! Why is he sick? No fool we're gonna 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 uh?- I will be king! Stick with me and you'll never go hungry again! Yay! Long live the king! (Yeah! Alright! Long live the king!) 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'll have food.) Tenacity spanning. (Lots of food!) Decades of denial! (We'll 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!

I never thought hyenas essential. They're crude and unspeakably plain. But maybe they have a... glimmer of potential. If allied to my vision and Brain.

Da ciò che vi leggo negli occhi Io so già che il terrore vi squaglia. Non siate però cosi sciocchi, Trovate l'orgoglio, marmaglia! Son vaghe le vostre espressioni, Riflesso di stupidità, Parliamo di re e successioni, Ritrovate la lucidità! Il mio sogno si sta realizzando, È la cosa che bramo di più! È giunto il momento dell'insediamento... E noi che faremo? Seguite il maestro! E voi smidollati verrete premiati, L'ingiustizia è una mia gran virtù! Avrai gli occhi di Scar, sai perché? Sarò re!
 * -|Lyrics=

Sì, siamo pronti! Saremo pronti... Ma per cosa? Per la morte del re! Perché, è malato? Idiota! Lo uccideremo noi... e Simba con lui. Sì, buona idea! A che serve un re? Niente re, niente re, lalalalalala! Idioti! Un re ci sarà! Ehi, ma tu hai detto... Io sarò il re! Seguitemi e non soffrirete più la fame! Evviva! Lunga vita al re! (Sì! D'accordo! Lunga vita al re!) Lunga vita al re! Lunga vita al re!

Avremo la sua compiacenza, Sarà un re adorato da noi! Ma in cambio di questa indulgenza, Qualcosa mi aspetto da voi! La strada è cosparsa di omaggi Per me e anche per voi lacché, Ma è chiaro che questi vantaggi Li avrete soltanto con me! E sarà un grande colpo di stato, La savana per me tremerà! Il piano è preciso, (Con noi!) Perfetto e conciso, (Sei tra noi!) Decenni di attesa, (Tu con noi!) Vedrai che sorpresa! (Finirai!) Sarò un re stimato, Temuto ed amato, nessuno è meglio di me! Affiliamo le zanne perché... Sarò re! Affiliamo le zanne perché... Sarò re! From what I read in your eyes, I already know you're liquefied by terror. But you shouldn't be so foolish, Find your pride, you mob! Your expressions are so vague, Reflecting your stupidity, We are talking about kings and successions, Find your brightness! My wish is being fulfilled, That's what I desire the most! The time for my settlement has come... And what we're gonna do? Follow the teacher! You gutless will be awarded, Injustice is my greatest virtue! You'll get Scar's eyes, you know why? I'll be king!
 * -|Translation=

Yes, we are ready! We'll be ready... For what? For the king's death! Why, he's sick? Idiot! We'll kill him... and Simba with him. Yes, good idea! What is a king even needed for? No king, no king, lalalalalala! Idiots! There will be a king! Hey, but you said... I'll be the king! Follow me and you'll never suffer hunger again! Hooray! Long live the king! (Yes! Alright! Long live the king!) Long live the king! Long live the king!

We'll have his complacency, He well be a king adored by us! But, in excange for such indulgency, I'm expecting something from you! The road is covered with homages For me and for you lackeys too! But it's clear that such advantages Will be available only with me! It will be a great coup d'état, The savannah will tremble after me! The plan is precise, (With us!) Perfect and concise, (You're with us!) Decades of waiting, (You along us!) You'll see the surprise! (Will end up!) I'll be a valued king, Feared and loved, nobody is better than me! Let's sharpen our fangs because... I'll be king! Let's sharpen our fangs because... I'll be king!
