From the day we arrive on this planet/And blinking, step into the sun/There is 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! (repeat)

THE MORNING REPORT-Mufasa, Zazu, Simba, All

It's an honor and a privelege, 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 the beastly news

Yes, Yes, Zazu, get on with it!

In order that his majesty stands sturdy at the helm, aware of all the fauna's latest views!

Zazu! The Morning Report.

Er-yes, sire. The Morning Report!

Chimps are going ape/Giraffes remain above it all/Elephants remember though just what I can't recall/We haven't paid the hornbills/And the vultures have a hunch/Not everyone invited 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'd distort/On the morning report

What are you doing, son?

Pouncing!

Let an old pro show you how it's done

(All at same time)

The buffalo have got a beef about the season's grass/

Stay low to the ground

Warthogs have been thwarted in attempts to save their gas/

Yeah, stay low!!

Flamingoes in the pink and chasing secretary birds/

Saffron is the season's color seen in all the herds

Shh, not a sound/Take it slow, one more step

Moving down the rank and file to near the bottom rung/Far too many beetles are quite frankly in the dung

then..POUNCE!!

AAAAAAK!!

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 together)

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-Lionesses

Ahhhhiya, hiai, hiai, hai

We baba zingela siyo zingela baba [Oh, hunting, we are going hunting]

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 ta Mama wele le hay Tata mama wele tata Zingela aba (three times)

I JUST CAN"T WAIT TO BE KING-Young Simba, Young Nala, Zazu, All

I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!

I've never seen a king of beasts with quite so little hair

I'm gonna be the mane event, like no king was before. I'm burhsing up on looking down, I'm working on my ROAR

Thus far a rather uninspiring thing

Oh I just can't WAIT to be king!

No one saying do this! Now when I said that -

No one saying be there! What I meant was -

No one saying stop that! What you don't realize

No one saying see here! Now see here!

Free to run around all day! That's definitely out

Free to do it all my way!

I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart-to-heart

Kings don't need advice from little hornbills for a start!

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

Everybody look left

Everybody look right

Everywhere you look I'm

Standing in the spotlight!

Not yet!

All: Let every creature go for broke and sing

Let's her it in the herd and on the wing

It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

Oh, he just can't wait to be king!

Oh, I just can't wait

Just can't wait

To be king!

CHOW DOWN-Banzai, Shenzi, Ed, Banzai/Shenzi, All

He called us slobbering!

Said we were mangy!

Did I hear stupid?

Huh?

Tell us again, gee-

It's so incredible

That you're so rude

When you're so edible

When you are food!

It's time to chow down

Chow down! Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch chow down!

I'm chomping at the bit, baby!

My stomach's on a growl, son!

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 toasty brown

Chow down! Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch chow down!

Your ribs are lookin so tasty

Such chewy little chops, chums

Eat up!

Nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-na-na-na-nuh-nuh!

Now wasn't it her mom who ate your dad

And having parents eaten makes us mad

We're gonna settle up the score a tad

We never had a snack of such renown

Chow down! Chow down!

Uh! uh! Uh!

What, Ed? What is it?

Hey, did we order this dinner to go?

No!

Well, there it goes!

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

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty..

We're starved!

THEY LIVE IN YOU-Mufasa, Chorus

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala 

Night, and the spirit of life calling

Maemala

And a voice, just the fear of a child

Asking Maemala

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. (Repeat)

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

BE PREPARED- Scar, Hyenas, Banzai, Shenzi, Both, All

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 the chance of a lifetime

Be prepared for sensational news

A shining new era is tiptoeing nearer

And where do we feature?

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!

Yeah! Be prepared. We'll be prepared! For what?

For the death of the king

Is he sick?

No, fool, we're gonna kill him! And Simba, too

Great idea! Who needs a king?

No king, no king, la la la la la la

Idiots! There will  be a king!

But you just said-

I will be king! Stick with me and you'll never go hungry again!

Yeah, 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.

Ha ha, of course, quid pro quo, you're expected

to take certain duties onboard, 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                                     Oooh-lala-laaa                         

murkiest scam

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! Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared, be prepared!!
