 Intro: |Am|%|Dm|%|

Am                         Dm
I know that your powers of retention
Em                     Am
are as wet as a warthog's backside
Dm
But, thick as you are, pay attention:
Em                    Am
My words are a matter of pride
Cm                       Am
It's clear from your vacant expressions
Cm                      Am
the lights ate not all on upstairs
G                          C
But we're talking kings and successions
Bm7b5                    E7
Even you can't be caught underwares

Am                       Dm
So prepare for the chance of a lifetime
G                    C
Be prepared for sensational news
Em         Am     Dm        G
A shining new era is tiptoeing nearer
Em           Am
And where do we feature?
Dm         G
Just listen to teacher!
C
I know it sounds sordid
 C/Bb
but you'll be rewarded
A7                Dm
when at last I am given mu dues
Bm7b5                 E
and injustice deliciously squared
Esus4 E   Am    F
Be    pre-pared!


(spoken)
E7                     Am
Yeah, be prepared, heh heh'. We'll be prepared, heh. For what?
Dm
For the death of the king.
Em
Why, is he sick?
Am
No, fool, we're gonna kill him. And Simba too.

Hey, big deal! Who needs a king?
Dm                              Em
No king, no king! La la la la la la.
Am
Idiots! There will be a king!
Cm
Hey, but you said, er...
Am                        Cm
I will be king! Stick with me and you'll never go hungry again!
Am     G                     C
Yay! Yeah, alright! Alright! Long live the King!
Bm7b5                            E
Long Live the King! Ha ha ha!


Am                              Dm
It's great that we'll soon be connected
Em                           Am
with a king who'll be alltime adored
Dm
Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
Em                     Am
to take certain duties on board
Cm                      Am
The future is littered with prizes
Cm                         Am
And though I'm the main addressee
G            G7         C
the point that I must emphasize is
Bm7b5                         E
you won't get a sniff without me!


Am                      Dm
So prepare for the coup of the cent'ry
G                     C
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
Em       Am          Dm     G
Meticulous planning, tenacity spanning,
Em         Am      Dm         G
decades of denial is simply why I'll
 C                  C/Bb
be king undisputed, respected, saluted
A7                    Dm
and seen for the wonder I am
Bm7b5                   E
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared.
Esus4 E  Am
Be    prepared!

Bm7b5                   E
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Am   F   E   Am
Be prepared!
