BANZAI
He called us slobbering!
SHENZI
Said we were mangy!
BANZAI
Did I hear stupid?
ED
Huh?
BANZAI/SHENZI
Tell us again-gee
It's so incredible
SHENZI
That you're so rude
BANZAI
When you're so edible
BANZAI/SHENZI
When your food
BANZAI
It's time to chow down
BANZAI/SHENZI
Chow Down!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down
SHENZI
I'm chompin at the bit baby
BANZAI
My stomach's on the growl, son
BANZAI/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/SHENZI/ED
Seeing you're already toasty brown
chow down!
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chowdown!
BANZAI
Your ribs arre looking so tasty
SHENZI
Such chewy little chops, chums
BANZAI/SHENZI
Eat up!
SHENZI
Now wasn't it her mom who ate your dad?
BANZAI/SHENZI
And having parents eaten makes us made
BANZAI
We're gonna settle up the score a tad
BANZAI/SHENZI
We've never had a snack of such renown
Chow down!
Chow down!
ED
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-
SHENZI
What, Ed? What is it?
BANZAI
Hey, did we order this dinner to go?
SHENZI
No
BANZAI
Wel, there it goes!
BANZAI/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
Here, kitty kitty...
BANZAI/SHENZI
We're starved
Back
