[00:00.00] 作词 : Elton John/Tim Rice[00:01.00] 作曲 : Elton John/Tim Rice[00:14.31]I never thought hyenas essential[00:18.95]They’re crude and unspeakably plain[00:25.16]But maybe they’ve a glimmer of potential[00:30.46]If allied to my vision and brain[00:35.31][00:44.77]I know that your powers of retention[00:48.55]Are as wet as a warthog’s backside[00:52.60]But thick as you are, pay attention[00:56.56]My words are a matter of pride[01:00.37][01:00.73]It’s clear from your vacant expressions[01:04.41]The lights are not all on upstairs[01:08.35]But we’re talking kings and successions[01:12.01]Even you can’t be caught unawares[01:15.54][01:16.11]So prepare for a chance of a lifetime[01:19.91]Be prepared for sensational news[01:24.22]A shining new era[01:26.02]Is tiptoeing nearer[01:28.04]And where do we feature?[01:29.76]Just listen to teacher[01:31.45][01:31.94]I know it sounds sordid[01:33.78]But you’ll be rewarded[01:35.79]When at last I am given my dues[01:39.57]And injustice deliciously squared[01:43.03]Be prepared![01:46.99][02:19.43]It’s great that we’ll soon be connected[02:23.23]With a king who’ll be all-time adored[02:26.71][02:27.03]Of course, quid pro quo, you’re expected[02:31.00]To take certain duties on board[02:34.92]The future is littered with prizes[02:38.86]And though I’m the main addressee[02:43.02]The point that I must emphasize is[02:46.79]You won’t get a sniff without me![02:50.09][02:51.45]So prepare for the coup of the century[02:55.30]Be prepared for the murkiest scam[02:57.44](Oooh... La! La! La!)[02:58.18]Meticulous planning[03:00.23]Tenacity spanning[03:02.30]Decades of denial[03:04.14]Is simply why I’ll[03:06.03]Be king undisputed[03:08.50]Respected, saluted[03:10.16]And seen for the wonder I am[03:14.32]Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared[03:17.38]Be prepared![03:22.05]Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared -[03:24.90]Be prepared!
