THE MADNESS OF KING SCAR-Scar, Banzai, Shenzi, Zazu, Nala

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!

S: When my name is whispered through the pride,

is this talk of love or regicide?

Shenzi: Reggie who?

S: Tell me I'm adored, please tell me I'm adored

B: Hey, boss!

S: Oh, what is it?

B: We got a bone to pick with you!

Sh: There's no food, no water-

B:Yeah. It's dinnertime and there ain't no stinkin entrees!

S: 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

B: I had that once. It was worms

S: No, no, no! It's like an itch...deep, persistent, profound....

B: That's it- worms! When they get reeeally bad all ya gotta do is....hunker down and scoot

S:Thanks for the tip. Ingrates! If it weren't for me you'd be beating off buzzards for your next bite!

Hyenas: 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

S: Are you blaming me?!

B/SH: Oh no, it's the lionesse

H/Zazu: You are so adored, oh, you are so adored

S: That's more like it!

H: But what I'd give for one more hit

of wildebeest kielbasa

or maybe hornbill on the spit

Z: Oh how I miss Mufasa!

S: Mufasa?! Mufasa?! How dare you! I told you NEVER to mention that name!

Z: Note taken. I shall never mention "m-m-m" again.

S:Even in death, his shadow looms over me...there he is! No! There he is! And there!

Z: Calm yourself, Sire, or you'll get another one of your splitting headaches!

S: 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?!

Z: Oh, pull yourself together, Sire!

S: Oh very well. Zazu? Zazu, zazu, zazu?

Z: Yes, Sire?

S: Nobody loved me, there's the rub. Not even as a cub! What did my brother have that I don't have?

Z: Do you want the short list or the long?

S: Whatever

Z: Well, he had adoring subjects S: No Z: A loving family S: No Z; A devoted queen

S: That's it! I need a queen!

Z: A what?

S: 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

S: Ah, Nala. Your timing couldn't have been more perfect. My, how you've grown

N: Scar, you have to do something. We're being forced to overhunt

S: She's got those assets feminine

N: You're the king, control the hyenas

S: I have to make her mine

N: You're destroying the pridelands

S: Nobility in every gene

N: if we stop now, don't you see...

S: She has to be my queen

N:there's still a chance for things to be alright again!

S: Come sweet Nala. It's written in the stars

N: What are you doing? Are you listening to me?

S: We'll create a host of little Scars

N: What are you talking about

S: Tell me I'm adored

N: Get away from me!

S: Tell me I'm ado-

Ah, Nala...you know how I loathe violence..One way or another, you will be mine.

N: Never, Scar. Never!

S: You belong to me. You all belong to me!

SHADOWLAND-Nala, Rafiki, Ensemble

Chorus: Fatshe lesu lea halalela, fatshe lsu 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

C: Prideland                                           N: 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

C: 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

C: Fatshe leso lea halalela                   Rafiki: (Chant)                                  

    Fatshe leso lea halalela                    N: Fatshe leso lea halalela

N: Beso bo, my people beso bo

ENDLESS NIGHT-Simba, Ensemble

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.

Whenever 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 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.

Whenever 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.

Ensemble: 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

S/E: 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 (repeat)

S: I know

Yes I know

The sun will rise

Yes I know

I know the clouds must clear

I know that the night must end...I know that the sun will rise

And I'll hear your voice deep inside

I know that the night must end

I know that the clouds must clear

The sun

The sun will rise

The sun

The sun will rise

CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT-Simba, Nala, Ensemble, Timon, Pumbaa

Timon: I can see what's happening               Pumbaa: What?

T: And they don't have a clue                       P: Who?

T: They'll fall in love and here's the bottom

line: our trio's down to two                           P: Oh

T: The sweet caress of twilight...there's magic everywhere

And with all this romantic atmosphere, disaster's in the air

Ensemble: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?

S/N: Can you feel the love tonight

The peace the evening brings

The world, for once, in perfect harmony with all its living things

S/N/E: Can you feel the love tonight

You needn't look too far

Stealing through the night's uncertainties

Love is where they are

N: And if he feels the love tonight

In the way I do

S: It's enough for this restless wanderer

S/N: Just to be with you

HE LIVES IN YOU-Rafiki, Simba, Ensemble

Ensemble: Ingonyama nengw' enamabala

Rafiki: Night and the spirit of life calling mamela

And a voice, just the fear of a child, answers mamela

Ubu khosi bo khokho

E: We ndodana ye sizwe sonke

R: Wait, there's no mountain too great

Hear these words and have faith

Have faith

He lives in you

He lives in me

He watches over

Everything we see

Into the water, into the truth

In your reflection

He lives in you

R/E:

He lives in you

He lives in me

He watches over

Everything we see

Into the water, into the truth

In your reflection

He lives in you

E: He lives in you, he lives in you, he lives in you, he lives in you

Simba: He lives in me

R/E: He watches over everything we see

into the water, into the truth

In your reflection

He lives in you

R/E/S:

He lives in you

He watches over

Everything we see

Into the water, into the truth

In your reflection

He lives in you
