Music by Elton John
- Lyrics by Tim Rice
Performed by Jeremy Irons with Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin and
Jim Cummings
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 form your vacant expressions
the kights 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.
And where de 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!
It´s great that we´ll soon be connected
with a king who´ll be all-time adored
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
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
(Oooh!)
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
(Aaaaaah!)
respected, saluted
(Aaaaaah!)
and seen for the wonder I am
(Aaaaaah!)
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
Be Prepared!
Yes, out teeth and ambitions are bared
Be Prepared!
