"Circle of Life" From the day we arrive on this planet And blinking, step into the sun There's more to see than can ever be seen More to do than can ever be done There is far too much to take in here More to find than can ever be found But the sun rolling high Through the sapphire sky Keeps great and small on the endless round It's the circle of life And it moves us all Through despair and hope Through faith and love Till we find our place On the path unwinding In the circle The circle of life It's the circle of life And it moves us all Through despair and hope Through faith and love Till we find our place On the path unwinding In the circle The circle of life "The Morning Report"
[Zazu:] It's an honor and a privilege, a duty I perform
With due sense of decorum and with pride
With deference and great respect very much the norm
Plus a hint of sycophancy on the side
To lay before my ruler all the facts about his realm
To fill him in on all the beastly news
[Mufasa:] Yes, yes, Zazu, get on with it!
[Zazu:] In order that His Majesty stands sturdy at the helm
Aware of all the fauna's latest views
[Mufasa:] Zazu! The morning report!
[Zazu:] Er-- yes, Sire-- the morning report
Chimps are going ape, giraffes remain above it all
Elephants remember, though just what I can't recall
Crocodiles are snapping up fresh offers from the banks
Showed interest in my nest egg but I quickly said "No thanks!"
We haven't paid the hornbills and the vultures have a hunch
Not everyone invited will be coming back for lunch
This is the morning report
Gives you the long and the short
Every grunt, roar, and snort
Not a tale I distort
On the morning report
[Mufasa:] What are you doing, son?
[Simba:] Pouncing
[Mufasa:] Let and old pro show you how it's done
[Zazu:] The buffalo have got a beef
About this season's grass [Mufasa:] Stay low to the ground
Warthogs have been thwarted
In attempts to save their gas
Flamingoes in the pink and [Simba:] Yeah, stay low!
Chasing secretary birds
Saffron is this season's color
Seen in all the herds [Mufasa:] Shh, not a sound
Moving down the rank and file Take it slow
To near the bottom rung One more step
Far too many beetles are
Quite frankly in the dung Then pounce!
Aaaaaak!
[Simba:] This is the morning report
Gives you the long and the short
Every grunt, roar, and snort
Not a tale I distort
On the morning report
[All:] This is the morning report
Gives you the long and the short
Every grunt, roar, and snort
Not a tale I distort
On the morning report
"The Lioness Hunt" We baba zingela siyo zingela baba Zingela siyo, zingela baba [Hunting, we are going hunting] Hi ba la qhubekeni siyo zingela [Let us go and hunt] Ta ta Mama wele le hay Ta ta mama wele tata Zingela baba Ta ta Mama wele le hay Ta ta mama wele tata Zingela baba Oo yay ye nibo (Repeat) "I Just Can't Wait to be King"
[Simba:] I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!
[Zazu:] I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
[Simba:] I'm gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my roar
[Zazu:] Thus far a rather uninspiring thing
[Simba:] Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
[Simba:] No one saying do this [Zazu:] Now when I said that--
[Nala:] No one saying be there What I meant was--
[Simba:] No one saying stop that What you don't realize--
[Both:] No one saying see here Now see here!
[Simba:] Free to run around all day That's definitely out--
[Simba:] Free to do it all my way!
[Zazu:] I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart-to-heart
[Nala:] Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start
[Zazu:] If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about
This child is getting wildly out of wing
[Simba:] Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Everybody look left
[Nala:] Everybody look right
[Simba:] Everywhere you look I'm--
[Both:] Standing in the spotlight
[Zazu:] Not yet
[All:] Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling
[Simba:] Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
[Nala:] Oh, he just can't wait to be king!
[Simba:] Oh, I just can't wait...
[Nala:] Just can't wait
[Both:] To be king!
"Chow Down"
[Banzai:] He called us slobbering!
[Shenzi:] Said we were mangy!
[Banzai:] Did I hear stupid?
[Ed:] Huh?
[Hyenas:] Tell us again-- gee
It's so incredible
[Shenzi:] That you're so rude
[Banzai:] When you're so edible
When you are food!
[Banzai:] It's time to chow down
[Hyenas:] Chow down!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down
[Shenzi:] I'm chompin' at the bit, baby
[Banzai:] My stomach's on the growl, son
[Hyenas:] Chow down!
Chow down!
You both been invited on a date
Two courses handed to us on a plate
We'll have you raw, won't be long to wait
Seeing you're already brown
Chow down!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down!
[Banzai:] Your ribs are looking so tasty
[Shenzi:] Such chewy little chops, chums
[Hyenas:] Eat up!
[Shenzi:] Now wasn't it her mom who ate your dad?
[Hyenas:] And having parents eaten makes us mad
[Banzai:] We're gonna settle up the score a tad
[Hyenas:] We've never had a snack of such renown
Chow down!
Chow down!
[Ed:] Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-
[Shenzi:] What, Ed? What is it?
[Banzai:] Hey, did we order this dinner to go?
[Shenzi:] No
[Banzai:] Well, there it goes!
[Hyenas:] I think we should begin the meal from scratch
So many juicy segments to detach
Be good as gold for you're as good as carved
[Shenzi:] Here, kitty kitty...
[Hyenas:] We're starved!
"They Live in You" Ingonyama nengw' enamabala Night And the spirit of life calling Mamela And a voice With the fear of a child asking Mamela Wait There's no mountain too great Hear these words and have faith Have faith They live in you They live in me They're watching over Everything we see In every creature In every star In your reflection They live in you They live in you They live in me They're watching over Everything we see In every creature In every star In your reflection They live in you Ingonyama nengw' enamabala "Be Prepared"
[Scar:] I never thought hyenas essential
They're crude and unspeakably plain
But maybe they've a glimmer of potential
If allied to my vision and brain
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?
[Scar:] 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!
[Banzai:] Yeah! Be prepared. We'll be prepared! For what?
[Scar:] For the death of the king
[Banzai:] Is he sick?
[Scar:] No, fool! We're going to kill him. And Simba, too
[Shenzi:] Great idea! Who needs a king?
[Hyenas:] No king, no king! La la la la la!
[Scar:] Idiots! There will be a king!
[Banzai:] But you said...
[Scar:] I will be king! Stick with me and you'll never go hungry again!
[Hyenas:] Yay, all right! 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
[Scar:] 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 [Hyenas:] Oooooo, la-la-la!
Meticulous planning We'll have food!
Tenacity spanning Lots of food
Decades of denial We 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!
[Hyenas:] Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared -
Be prepared!

[Timon:] Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase
[Pumba:] Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze
[Timon:] It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
[Simba:] Hakuna Matata?
[Pumba:] Yeah. It's our motto!
[Simba:] What's a motto?
[Timon:] Nothing. What's a-motto with you?
[Pumba:] Those two words will solve all your problems
[Timon:] That's right. Take Pumbaa here
Why, when he was a young warthog...
[Pumba:] When I was a young wart hog
[Timon:] Very nice
[Pumba:] Thanks
[Timon:] He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after every meal
[Pumba:] I'm a sensitive soul though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And oh, the shame [Timon:] He was ashamed
Thought of changin' my name What's in a name?
And I got downhearted How did ya feel?
Everytime that I...
[Timon:] Hey! Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!
[Pumba:] Oh. Sorry
[Timon:] Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze
[Simba:] It means no worries for the rest of your days
[Both:] It's our problem-free philosophy

[Scar:] Zazu, why am I not loved?
I am that rare and awesome thing
I'm every inch a king
Yet I feel a twinge of doubt
As I go walk about
[Banzai:] Hey, boss!
[Scar:] When my name is whispered through the pride
Is this talk of love or regicide?
[Shenzi:] Reggie who?
[Scar:] Tell me I'm adored
Please tell me I'm adored
[Banzai:] Hey, boss!
[Scar:] Oh, what is it?
[Banzai:] We got a bone to pick with you
[Shenzi:] There's no food, no water--
[Banzai:] Yeah. It's dinnertime, and there ain't no
stinkin' entrйes!
[Scar:] Oh, you and your petty complaints. You don't know what real hunger is.
Day after day it gnaws at the very core of my being
[Banzai:] I had that once. It was worms
[Scar:] No, no, no... it's like an itch... deep, persistent, profound...
[Banzai:] That's it-- worms! When they get really bad all you gotta do is... hunker
down and scoot
[Scar:] Thanks for the tip. Ingrates! If it weren't for me you'd be beating off
buzzards for your next bite!
Yeah, you're our savior, thanks a bunch
But how about some lunch?
It doesn't matter if it's fresh
I need a fix of flesh
My bones have moved to where they've never been
They are on the outside looking in
[Scar:] Are you blaming me?
Oh no, it's the lionesses
You are so adored
Oh, you are so adored
[Scar:] That's more like it
But what I'd give for one more hit
Of wildebeest kielbasa
Or maybe hornbill on the spit...
[Zazu:] Oh, how I miss Mufasa
[Scar:] Mufasa?! Mufasa?! How dare you! I told you never to mention that name!
[Zazu:] Note taken. I shall never mention "M-m-m" again
[Scar:] Even in death, his shadow looms over me
There he is!
No! There he is!
And there!
[Zazu:] Calm yourself, Sire, or you'll get another one of your splitting
headaches!
[Scar:] I am perfectly fine!
I'm better than Mufasa was
I'm revered
I am reviled
I'm idolized
I am despised
I'm keeping calm
I'm going wild!
I tell myself I'm fine
Yes I am, no you're not
Yes I am, no you're not
I tell myself I'm fine
No you're not, yes I am, no you're not
Yes I am
No you're not
Yes, no, yes, no, who am I talking to...?
[Zazu:] Oh, pull yourself together, Sire!
[Scar:] Oh, very well. Zazu? Zazu, Zazu, Zazu...?
[Zazu:] Yes, Sire?
[Scar:] Nobody loved me, there's the rub, not even as a cub
What did my brother have that I don't have?
[Zazu:] Do you want the short list or the long?
[Scar:] Whatever!
[Zazu:] Well, he had adoring subjects... a loving family... a devoted queen...
[Scar:] That's it! I need a queen!
[Zazu:] A what?
[Scar:] A queen, man! A queen! Without a queen, what am I? A dead end, no line, no
descendants, no future. With a queen, I'll have cubs... Immortality will
be mine! Immortality will be mine!
[Nala:] Scar
[Scar:] Ah, Nala... Your timing couldn't have been more perfect. My how you've
grown
[Nala:] Scar, you have got to do something. We're being forced to overhunt
[Scar:] She's got those assets feminine
[Nala:] You're the king. Control the hyenas
[Scar:] I have to make her mine
[Nala:] You're destroying the Pridelands
[Scar:] Nobility in every gene
[Nala:] If we don't stop now.. Don't you see...
[Scar:] She has to be my queen
[Nala:] ...there's still a chance for things to be all right again...
[Scar:] Come, sweet Nala
It's written in the stars
[Nala:] What are you doing? Are you listening to me?
[Scar:] We'll create a host of little Scars
[Nala:] What are you talking about?
[Scar:] Tell me I'm adored
[Nala:] Get away from me
[Scar:] Tell me I'm adored
Oh, Nala... you know how I loathe violence... One way or another, you will
be mine
[Nala:] Never, Scar. Never!
[Scar:] You belong to me
You all belong to me
"Shadowland"
[Chorus:] Fatshe leso lea halalela [The land of our ancestors is holy]
Fatshe leso lea halalela
[Nala:] Shadowland
The leaves have fallen
This shadowed land
This was our home
The river's dry
The ground has broken
So I must go
Now I must go
And where the journey may lead me
Let your prayers be my guide
I cannot stay here, my family
But I'll remember my pride
Prideland I have no choice
My land I will find my way
Tear-stained Lea halalela
Dry land
Take this Take this prayer
With you What lies out there
Fatshe leso Lea halalela
And where the journey may lead you
Let this prayer be your guide
Though it may take you so far away
Always remember your pride
[Chorus:] Fatshe leso lea halalela
Fatshe leso lea halalela Fatshe leso lea halalela
[Nala:] And where the journey may lead you
Let this prayer be your guide
Though it may take you so far away
Always remember your pride
And where the journey may lead you Giza buyabo, giza buyabo
Let this prayer be your guide I will return, I will return
Beso bo
Though it may take you so far away Giza buyabo, I will return
Always remember your pride Giza buyabo, oh giza buyabo
Beso bo, my people, beso bo

[Timon:] I can see what's happening [Pumba:] What?
And they don't have a clue Who?
They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two. Oh.
The sweet caress of twilight
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air
[Chorus:] Can you feel the love tonight
The peace the evening brings
The world for once in perfect harmony
With all its living things
[Simba:] So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past, impossible
She'd turn away from me
[Nala:] He's holding back, he's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the king I know he is?
The king I see inside?
[Chorus:] Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
[Both:] Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Love is where they are
[Nala:] And if he feels the love tonight
In the way I do
[Simba:] It's enough for this restless wanderer
[Both:] Just to be with you
