CIRCLE OF LIFE
RAFIKI
From the day we arrive on the 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
RAFIKI AND CHORUS
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
(spoken) 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
(spoken) Zazu! The morning report!
ZAZU
(spoken) Er - yes, Sire - the morning report
Chimps are going ape, firaffes remain above it all
Elephants remember, though just what I can't recall
Crocodiles are snapping up fresh offers from the banks
Showed interes 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 (sung) will be coming back from 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
(spoken) What are you doing, son?
YOUNG SIMBA
(spoken) Pouncing
MUFASA
(spoken) Let an old pro show you how it's done
ZAZU
(spoken) The buffalo have got a beef
About this season's grass
Warthogs have been thwarted
In attempts to save their gas
Flamingoes in the pink
Chasing secretary birds
Saffron is theis season's color
Seen in all the herds
Moving down the rank and file
To near the bottom rung
Far too many beetles are
(sung) Quite frankly in the dung
Aaaaaaaaak! MUFASA
Stay low to the ground
Shh, not a sound
Take it slow
One more step
Then pounce!YOUNG SIMBA
Yeah, stay low!
YOUNG 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
MUFASA AND ZAZU AND YOUNG 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
THE LIONESS HUNT
CHORUS
We baba zingela siyo zingela baba
Zingela siyo, zingela baba

I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO BE KING
YOUNG SIMBA
I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!
ZAZU
(spoken) Well I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
YOUNG 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
(spoken) Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
YOUNG SIMBA
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
YOUNG SIMBA
No one saying do this
YOUNG NALA
No one saying be there
YOUNG SIMBA
No one saying stop that
YOUNG NALA AND YOUNG SIMBA
No one saying see here
Free to run around all day
ZAZU
(spoken) Now when I said that --
(spoken) What I meant was --
(spoken) What you don't realize --
(spoken) Now see here!
(spoken) That's definitely out!
YOUNG SIMBA
Free to do it all my way
ZAZU
(spoken) I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart-to-heart
YOUNG NALA
Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start
ZAZU
(spoken) 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 (sung) wing
YOUNG SIMBA
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Everybody look left
YOUNG NALA
Everybody look right
YOUNG SIMBA
Everywhere you look I'm
YOUNG NALA AND YOUNG SIMBA
Standing in the spotlight
ZAZU
(spoken) Not yet!
YOUNG NALA, YOUNG SIMBA AND CHORUS
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
YOUNG SIMBA
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
YOUNG NALA
Oh, he just can't wait to be king!
YOUNG SIMBA
Oh, I just can't wait...
YOUNG NALA
Just can't wait...
YOUNG SIMBA AND YOUNG NALA
To be king!
CHOW DOWN
BANZAI
He called us slobbering!
SHENZI
Said we were mangy!
BANZAI
Did I hear stupid?
ED
(spoken) Huh?
BANZAI AND SHENZI
Tell us again -- gee
It's so incredible
SHENZI
That you're so rude
BANZAI
When you're so edible
BANZAI AND SHENZI
When you are food!
BANZAI
(spoken) It's time to chow down
BANZAI AND SHENZI
(spoken) Chow down!
(sung) Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down
SHENZI
I'm chompin' at the bit, baby
BANZAI
My stomach's on a growl, son
BANZAI AND SHENZI
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
BANZAI AND SHENZI AND ED
Seeing you're already toasty brown
Chow down!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down!
BANZAI
You're ribs are looking so tasty
SHENZI
Such chewy little chops, chums
BANZAI AND SHENZI
Eat up!
SHENZI
Now wasn't it her mom who ate your dad?
BANZAI AND SHENZI
And having parents eaten makes us mad
BANZAI
We're gonna settle up the score a tad
BANZAI AND SHENZI
We've never had a snack of such renown
Chow down!
Chow down!
ED
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-
SHENZI
(spoken) What, Ed? What is it?
BANZAI
(spoken) Hey, did we order this dinner to go?
SHENZI
(spoken) No.
BANZAI
(spoken) Well, there it goes!
BANZAI AND SHENZI
I think we should begin the meal from scratch
So many juicy segments to detatch
Be good as gold for you're as good as carved
SHENZI
(spoken) Here, kitty kitty...
BANZAI AND SHENZI
(spoken) We're starved!
THEY LIVE IN YOU
CHORUS
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
MUFASA
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
CHORUS
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
BE PREPARED
SCAR
(spoken) 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.
(sung) 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
(spoken) Yeah! Be prepared. We'll be prepared. For what?
SCAR
(spoken) For the death of the king!
BANZAI
(spoken) Is he sick?
SCAR
(spoken) No, fool! We're going to kill him... and Simba too!
SHENZI
(spoken) Great idea! Who needs a king?
BANZAI AND SHENZI
(spoken) No king, No king, nah nah nah nah nah nah!
SCAR
(spoken) Idiots! There will be a king!
BANZAI
(spoken) But you said...
SCAR
(spoken) I will be king! Stick with me, and you'll never be hungry again!
BANZAI AND SHENZI
(spoken) Yay, all right! Long live the king! Long live the king!
HYENAS
(sung) 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
HYENAS
So prepare for the coup of the century
SCAR
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
Meticulous planning
Tenacity spanning
Decades of denial
Is simply why I'll
Be king undisputed
Respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I amHYENAS
Ooooh!
We'll have food!
Lots of food
We repeat
Endless meat
SCAR
Yes my teeth and ambitions are bared
SCAR AND HYENAS
Be prepared!
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!

(sung) Why...when he was a young warthog
PUMBA
When I was a young warthog
TIMON
(spoken) Very nice
PUMBAA
(spoken) Thanks.
TIMON
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after ev'ry meal
PUMBA
I'm a sensitive soul though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
PUMBAA
And, oh, the shame
Thought of changin' my name
And I got downhearted
Ev'rytime that I...TIMON
He was ashamed
What's in a name?

THE MADNESS OF KING SCAR
SCAR
(spoken) Zazu, why am I not loved?
(sung) 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
(spoken) Hey, boss!
SCAR
When my name is whispered through the pride
Is this talk of love or regicide?
SHENZI
(spoken) Reggie who?
SCAR
Tell me I'm adored
Please tell me I'm adored
BANZAI
(spoken) Hey, boss!
SCAR
(spoken) Oh, what is it?
BANZAI
(spoken) We got a bone to pick with you.
SHENZI
(spoken) There's no food, no water -
BANZAI
(spoken) Yeah. It's dinnertime, and there ain't no stinkin' entrees!
SCAR
(spoken) 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
(spoken) I had that once. It was worms.
SCAR
(spoken) No, no, no...it's like an itch...deep, persistent profound...
BANZAI
(spoken) That's it -- worms! When they get really bad all you gotta do
is...hunker down and scoot
SCAR
(spoken) Thanks for the tip. Ingrates! If it weren't for me you'd be beating off
buzzards for your next bite!
HYENAS
(sung) Yeah, you're our saviour, 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
(spoken) Are you blaming me?
BANZAI AND SHENZI
(spoken) Oh, no, it's the lionesses
HYENAS AND ZAZU
You are so adored
Oh, you are so adored
SCAR
(spoken) That's more like it
HYENAS
But what I'd give for one more hit
Of wildebeest kielbasa
Or maybe horbill on the spit...
ZAZU
(spoken) Oh, how I miss Mufasa
SCAR
(spoken) Mufasa?! Mufasa?! How dare you! I told you never to mention that name!
ZAZU
(spoken) Note taken. I shall never mention "M-m-m" again.
SCAR
(spoken) Even in death, his shadow looms over me
There he is!
No! There he is!
And there!
ZAZU
(spoken) Calm yourself, Sire, or you'll get another one of your splitting
headaches!
SCAR
(spoken) I am perfectly fine!
(sung) I'm better than Mufasa was!
I'm revered
I am reviled
I'm idiolized
I am despied
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
(spoken) Oh, pull yourself together, Sire!
SCAR
(spoken) Oh, very well. Zazu? Zazu, Zazu, Zazu...?
ZAZU
(spoken) Yes, Sire?
SCAR
(spoken) Nobody loved me, there the rub, not even as a cub
What did my brother have that I don't have?
ZAZU
(spoken) Do you want the short list or the long?
SCAR
(spoken) Whatever!
ZAZU
(spoken) Well, he had adoring subjects...a loving family....a devoted queen...
SCAR
(spoken) That's it! I need a queen!
ZAZU
(spoken) A what?
SCAR
(spoken) 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
(spoken) Scar
SCAR
(spoken) Ah, Nala...Your timing couldn't have been more perfect. My, how you've
grown.
NALA
(spoken) Scar, you have got to do something. We're being forced to overhunt.
SCAR
(sung) She's got those assets feminine
NALA
(spoken) You're the king. Control the hyenas
SCAR
(sung) I have to make her mine
NALA
(spoken) You're destroying the Pridelands.
SCAR
(sung) Nobility in every gene
NALA
(spoken) If we stop now...Don't you see...
SCAR
(sung) She has to be my queen
NALA
(spoken) ...there's still a a chance for things to be all right again...
SCAR
(sung) Come, sweet Nala
It's written in the stars
NALA
(spoken) What are you doing? Are you listening to me?
SCAR
(sung) We'll create a host of little Scars
NALA
(spoken) What are you talking about?
SCAR
(sung) Tell me I'm adored
NALA
(spoken) Get away from me
SCAR
(sung) Tell me I'm adored
(spoken) Oh, Nala...you know how I loathe violence...One way or another, you
will be mine
NALA
(spoken) Never, Scar... Never!
SCAR

You all belong to me

ENDLESS NIGHT
SIMBA
Where has the starlight gone?
Dark is the day
How can I find my way home?
Home is an empty dream
Lost to the night
Father, I feel so alone
You promised you'd be there
Whenever I needed you
Whever I call your name
You're not anywhere
I'm trying to hold on
Just waiting to hear your voice
One word, just a word will do
To end this nightmare
When will the dawning break
Oh endless night
Sleepless I dream of the day
When you were by my side
Guiding my path
Father, I can't find the way
You promised you'd be there
Whenever I needed you
Whever I call your name
You're not anywhere
I'm trying to hold on
Just waiting to hear your voice
One word, just a word will do
To end this nightmare
CHORUS
I know that the night must end
And that the sun will rise
And that the sun will rise
I know that the clouds must clear
And that the sun will shine
And that the sun will shine

Yes, I know

I know that the night must end
And that the clouds must clear
The sun
The sun will rise

They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two
PUMBA
(spoken) What?

TIMON
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?
SIMBA AND NALA
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
SIMBA, NALA AND CHORUS
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
SIMBA AND NALA
Just to be with you.
