Intro: [Am] [Dm]

I [Am]know that your powers of re[Dm]tention
Are as [Em]wet as a warthog's back[Am]side.
But thick as you are pay at[Dm]tention
My [Em]words are a matter of [Am]pride.

It's [Cm]clear from your vacant ex[Am]pressions,
The [Cm]lights are not all on up[Am]stairs.
But [G]we're talking kings, and suc[C]cessions,
Bm7flat5 [E7]
Even YOU can't be caught unawares...

So prep[Am]are for the chance of a [Dm]lifetime,
Be pre[G]pared for sensational [C]news...
A [Em]shining new [Am]era is [Dm]tip-toeing [G]nearer
<i&g[Em]t;And where [Am]do we feature?</i>
Just [Dm]listen to [G]teacher.

I [C]know it sounds sordid,
[C]/Bflat
But you'll be rewarded
When at [A7]last I am given my [Dm]dues,
Bm7flat5 [E]
And injustice, deliciously squared,
[Esus]Be [E]prep[Am]ared! [F]

<i>[E7]Yeah, be prepared, heh, heh,
[Am]We'll be prepared, heh.

For what?
[Dm]For the death of the king!
Why, [Em]is he sick?
No fools, we're gunna [Am]kill him...

And Simba too...

Great idea, who needs a king?
[Dm]No king, no king, la la la la [Em]la la!
Idiots! There will[Am] be a king!
Hey but you sa[Cm]id er--

I WILL BE KING!
[Am]Stick with me, and [Cm]you'll never go hungry again!
[Am]Yay, alright!
[G]Yeah,alright!
[C]Alright!

Long live the king,
Bm7flat5 [E]
Long live the king! </i>

It's [Am]great that we'll soon be connec[Dm]ted
With a [Em]king who'll be all time [Am]adored.
Of course, quid pro quo, you're expec[Dm]ted,
To [Em]take certain duties on [Am]board...

The [Cm]future is littered with [Am]prizes
And [Cm]though I'm the main addres[Am]see,
The [G]point that I [G7]must empha[C]size is,
Bm7flat5 [E]
YOU WON'T GET A SNIFF WITHOUT ME!

So pre[Am]pare for the coup of the [Dm]century
Be [G]prepared for the murkiest [C]scam
Me[Em]ticulous [Am]planning, [Dm]tenacity [G]spanning,
De[Em]cades of de[Am]nial
Is [Dm]simply why [G]I'll
Be [C]king undisputed,
[C]/Bflat
respected, saluted,
And [A7]seen for the wonder I [Dm]am.
Bm7flat5 [E]
Yes my teeth and ambitions are bared.
[Esus]Be [E]Pre[Am]pared!
Bm7flat5 [E]
Yes our teeth and ambitions are bared,
Be pre[Am]pared!

Outro (over 'wild laughter') [F] [E] [Am]
