The Circle of Life



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'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 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

I Just Can't Wait to Be King



I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware!

Well 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 brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my ROAR!

Thus far rather uninspiring thing

Oh I just can't wait to be king!

No one saying do this
No one saying be there
No one saying stop that
No one saying see here
Free to run around all day
Free to do it all my way

I think it's time at 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

Oh I just can't wait to be king

Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight!

Let evey 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

Oh I just can't wait to be king
Oh I jsut can't wait to be king
Oh I just can't wait....to be king!!

Be Prepared



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 sucessions
even you can't be caught unawares

so prepare for a chance of a lifetime
be prepared for sensational new
a shiny new era
is tiptoeing nearer

and where do we feature?

just listen to teacher.
I know it sounds sordid
but you'll be reawared
when at last I am given my dues
and injustice deliciously squared

BE PREPARED!

It's great that we'll soon be connected
with a king who be all time adored

or 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
meticulous planning
tenacity scanning
Decades of denial
Is simply while I'll
be king undisputed
respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I am
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared

BE PREPARED!

Hakuna Matata



Hakuna Matata
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata
Ain't no passing craze It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free
Philosophy
Hakuna Matata

When he was a young warthog
When I was a young warthog!!!
Very nice
Thanks

He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after every meal
I'm a sensitive soul
Though I seem thick skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood
Downwind

And oh the shame!
He was a shame
Thought of changing my name
Oh what's in a name?
And I got down-hearted
Then how did you feel???
Everytime that I----Hey PUMBAA!!!
Not in front of the kids
Oh sorry

Hakuna Matata
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata
Ain't no passing craze

It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free
Philosophy
Hakuna Matata!

Can You Feel the Love Tonight?



I can see what's happening
And they don't have a clue
They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two

The sweet caress of twilight
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disasters in the air

Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world for once in perfect harmony
With all it's living things

So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past? Impossible!
She'll turn away from me

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?

Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all it's living things

Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the nights uncertainties
Love is where we are

And if he falls in love tonight
It can be assumed
His carefree days with us are history
In short our pal is doomed
