Ost. Lion King

Circle Of Life

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give

(Chorus)
In the Circle of Life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life

Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars

There's 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 the great and small on the endless round

(Chorus repeats)

On the path unwinding
In the Circle, the Circle of Life

I Just Cant Wait To Be King

[Simba:] I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware!
[Zazu:] Well, 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!
[Zazu: (Speaking)] You've rather a long way to go,
young master, if you think...
[Simba:] No one saying do this
[Zazu:] Now when I said that, I--
[Nala:] No one saying be there
[Zazu:] What I meant was...
[Simba:] No one saying stop that
[Zazu:] Look, what you don't realize...
[Simba and Nala:] No one saying see here
[Zazu:] Now see here!
[Simba:] Free to run around all day
[Zazu:] Well, 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
[Simba:] 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... aagh!
This child is getting wildly out of wing
[Simba:] Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight!
[Zazu: (Speaking, but in strict time)] Not yet!
[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
[Simba & Chorus:] Oh I just can't wait to be king!
Oh I just can't wait to be king!
Oh I just can't waaaaaait ... to be king!

Be Prepared

[Scar:]
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!
[Spoken]
[Banzai:] Yeah, Be prepared.
Yeah-heh... we'll be prepared, heh.
...For what?
[Scar:] For the death of the king.
[Banzai:] Why? Is he sick?
[Scar:] No, fool-- we're going to kill him. And Simba too.
[Shenzi:] Great idea! Who needs a king?
[Shenzi (and then Banzai):]
No king! No king! la--la-la--la-laa-laa!
[Scar:] Idiots! There will be a king!
[Banzai:] Hey, but you said, uh...
[Scar:] I will be king! ...Stick with me, and
you'll never go hungry again!
[Shenzi and Banzai:] Yaay! All right! Long live the king!
[All Hyenas:] Long live the king! Long live the king!
[Full song again]
[Hyenas: {In tight, crisp phrasing and diction}]
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
(Oooh!)
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
(Oooh... 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
(Aaaaaaah...)
Respected, saluted
(...aaaaaaah...)
And seen for the wonder I am
(...aaaaaaah!)
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
(Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Be prepared!
[All:]
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared

Hakuna Matata

[Timon:]
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
[Pumbaa:]
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
[Timon:]
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
[Both:]
It's our problem-free
Philosophy
[Timon:]
Hakuna Matata!
[Spoken section over background]
[Simba:] Hakuna matata?
[Pumbaa:] Yeah, it's our motto.
[Simba:] What's a motto?
[Timon:] Nothing! What's a motto with you? Ahh ha ha ha...
[Pumbaa: {Laughing}] You know what, kid?
These two words will
solve all your problems.
[Timon:] That's right! Take Pumbaa for example.
[Back into song]
[Timon:]
Why, when he was a young warthog...
[Pumbaa: {Italian counter-tenor range}]
When I was a young wart hoooog!
[Timon: {Speaking, cleaning ear}] Very nice.
[Pumbaa:] Thanks!
[Timon: {Singing}]
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after every meal
[Pumbaa:]
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!
Thoughta changin' my name
{Oh, what's in a name?}
And I got downhearted
{How did you feel?}
Ev'rytime that I...
[Timon: {Speaking}] Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!
[Pumbaa: {Speaking}] Oh... sorry.
[Pumbaa and 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
[Timon:]
Yeah, sing it, kid!
[Simba and Timon:]
It's our problem-free ...........
[Pumbaa:]
..................... philosophy...
[All three:]
Hakuna Matata!

Can You Feel The Love Tonight (MV Version)

[Timon:]
I can see what's happening
(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.)
[In a sarcastic mock-French accent]
Ze sweet caress of twilight
[Back to normal, but still sarcastic]
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air
[FS:]
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
Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Love is where they are
[Timon:]
And if he falls in love tonight
It can be assumed
[Pumbaa:]
His carefree days with us are history
[Timon and Pumbaa:]
In short, our pal is doomed
