[A]
[Am] [D]
[A] I know that your powers of [C]
[G] retention [Em] are as [G] wet as a [Am] warthog's backside.
But thick as you [D] are, pay [Dm] attention.
[Em] My words are a matter [Am] of pride.
[C] It's clear [Cm] from your vacant [A]
expressions, [C] the lights [Cm] are not all on [Am] today.
[G] We are talking king [C] succession.
[B] Even you [E] can't report unawares.
[Am] So prepare for the chance [Dm] of a life.
[G] Be prepared for sensational [C]
news.
A shiny [Am] new era [Dm] has [G] tipped the wing nearer.
[Em] And where do [Am] we eat?
Just listen to teacher.
[C] I know it sounds sordid, but you'll be rewarded.
[A] When at last I have given [Dm] my dues.
[B] And injustice delicious [E]
is where.
Be [Am] prepared.
[F]
Yeah, be [Am] prepared.
We'll be prepared.
[D]
For what?
For the death of the [Em] king.
Why, is he sick?
No, [Am] fool, we're gonna kill him.
Simba too.
Wait, I see him.

Stick with [Cm] me and you'll never [Am] go hungry again.
[G] [C]
[Em] [Bm] [E]
You can keep him, but [Am] you'll pay back.
But soon they'll [Dm] have met a debt.
[Em] It won't be all that [Am] I've come.
Of course, good probe, well, [Dm] you're expected [G] to take certain [Am] duties on board.
[Cm] The future is [Am] littered with brides.
[Cm] And though I may [Am] have a fee,
[G] the point that I must [C]
emphasize is, [Em] you won't get a sniff without me.
So [Am] prepare for the [Dm] coup of the century.
[G] Be prepared for the [C] murkiest.
[Em] [Am] Meticulous planning, [Dm]
tenacity [G] spanning.
[Em] The [Am] case of denial [F] is simply [G] why I'll
[C] be king on this duty.
[Cm]
Respected, saluted, [A] and seen for the wonder [Dm] I am.
[Bm] Yes, my teeth and ambitions [E] are red.
