[00:00.00] 作词 : Elton John/Tim Rice[00:01.00] 作曲 : Elton John/Tim Rice[00:13.42]I never thought hyenas essential[00:18.58]They're crude and unspeakably plain[00:24.68]But maybe they've a glimmer of potential[00:30.18]If allied to my vision and brain[00:44.45]I know that your powers of retention[00:48.23]Are as wet as a warthog's backside[00:52.55]But thick as you are, pay attention[00:56.39]My words are a matter of pride[01:00.28]It's clear from your vacant expressions[01:04.25]The lights are not all on upstairs[01:08.14]But we're talking kings and successions[01:11.87]Even you can't be caught unawares[01:15.68]So prepare for a chance of a lifetime[01:19.69]Be prepared for sensational news[01:23.82]A shining new era[01:25.82]Is tiptoeing nearer[01:27.81]And where do we feature?[01:29.49]Just listen to teacher[01:31.75]I know it sounds sordid[01:33.38]But you'll be rewarded[01:35.42]When at last I am given my dues![01:39.17]And injustice deliciously squared[01:42.63]Be prepared![01:46.44]Yeah! Be prepared. We'll be prepared! For what?[01:50.02]For the death of the king[01:51.72]Is he sick?[01:52.74]No, fool! We're going to kill him. And Simba, too[01:55.54]Great idea! Who needs a king?[01:57.51]No king, no king! La la la la la![02:02.16]Idiots! There will be a king![02:04.18]But you said...[02:05.32]I will be king! Stick with me and you'll never go hungry again![02:12.81]Yay, all right! Long live the king![02:15.82]Long live the king![02:20.57]It's great that we'll soon be connected[02:24.50]With a king who'll be all-time adored[02:28.39]Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected[02:32.39]To take certain duties on board[02:36.38]The future is littered with prizes[02:40.35]And though I'm the main addressee[02:44.47]The point that I must emphasize is[02:48.12]You won't get a sniff without me![02:51.73]So prepare for the coup of the century[02:55.69]Be prepared for the murkiest scam[03:00.02]Meticulous planning[03:01.82]Tenacity spanning[03:03.79]Decades of denial[03:05.85]Is simply why I'll[03:07.67]Be king undisputed[03:09.74]Respected, saluted[03:11.63]And seen for the wonder I am[03:15.38]Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared[03:18.76]Be prepared![03:23.28]Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared[03:26.62]Be prepared![03:33.41]
