[edit] The Lion King
[edit] Circle Of Life
Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba [Here comes a lion, Father]
Sithi uhm ingonyama [Oh yes, it's a lion]
Nants ingonyama bagithi baba
Sithi uhhmm ingonyama
Ingonyama
Siyo Nqoba [We're going to conquer]
Ingonyama
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala [A lion and a leopard come to this open place]
[Chant repeats]
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's 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
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
[edit] I Just Can't Wait To Be King
Simba - I'm gonna be a mighty king So enemies beware!
Zazu - Well, I've never seen a king of beasts With quite so little hair
Simba - I'm gonna be the main event Like no king was before I'm brushing up on looking down I'm working on my ROAR
Zazu - Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
Simba - Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Zazu - You've rather a long way to go, young master, if you think...
Simba - No one saying do this
Zazu - Now when I said that, I--
Nala - No one saying be there
Zazu - What I meant was...
Simba - No one saying stop that
Zazu - Look, what you don't realize...
Simba and Nala - No one saying see here
Zazu - Now see here!
Simba - Free to run around all day
Zazu - Well, that's definitely out...
Simba - Free to do it all my way!
Zazu - I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart to heart
Simba - Kings don't need advice from little hornbills for a start
Zazu - If this is where the monarchy is headed Count me out! Out of service, out of Africa I wouldn't hang about... aagh! This child is getting wildly out of wing
Simba - Oh, I just can't wait to be king! Everybody look left Everybody look right Everywhere you look I'm Standing in the spotlight!
Zazu - Not yet!
Chorus - Let every 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
Simba & Chorus - Oh I just can't wait to be king! Oh I just can't wait to be king! Oh I just can't waaaaaait ... to be king
[edit] Be Prepared
Scar: 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 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
Shenzi: And where do we feature?
Scar: 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!
Hyenas: It's great that we'll soon be connected With a king who'll be all-time adored
Scar: 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
Hyenas: (Oooooo, la la la!)
Scar: Meticulous planning
Hyenas: (We'll have food!)
Scar: Tenacity spanning
Hyenas: (Lots of food)
Scar: Decades of denial
Hyenas: (We repeat)
Scar: Is simply why I'll
Hyenas: (Endless meat)
Scar: Be king undisputed
Hyenas: (Aaaaaaah!)
Scar: Respected, saluted
Hyenas: (Aaaaaaah!)
Scar: And seen for the wonder I am
Hyenas: (Aaaaaaah!)
Scar: Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared Be prepared!
Hyenas:Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
All: Be prepared!
[edit] 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 He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal He could clear the savannah after ev'ry meal I'm a sensitive soul though I seem thick-skinned And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And, oh, the shame Thoughta changin' my name And I got down hearted Ev'rytime that I...
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!
- Repeat*
Hakuna...it means no worries For the rest of your days It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
[edit] Can You Feel The Love Tonight?
Timon - I can see what's happening
Pumbaa - What?
Timon - And they don't have a clue
Pumbaa - Who?
Timon - They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line Our trio's down to two.
Pumbaa - Oh.
Timon - The sweet caress of twilight There's magic everywhere And with all this romantic atmosphere Disaster's in the air
Chourus - Can you feel the love tonight The peace the evening brings The world for once in perfect harmony With all its living things
Simba - So many things to tell her But how to make her see The truth about my past, impossible She'd turn away from me
Nala - 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?
Chorus - Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings The world, for once, in perfect harmony With all its living things
Timon - Can you feel the love tonight? You needn't look too far Stealing through the night's uncertainties Love is where they are And if he feels the love tonight In the way I do It's enough for this restless wanderer
Timon & Pumbaa - Just to be with you
[edit] The Lion King II: Simba's Pride
[edit] He Lives In You
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala Ingonyama nengw' enamabala Ingonyama nengw' enamabala Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Night And the spirit of life Calling
Oh, oh, iyo Mamela Oh, oh, iyo

Ingonyama nengw' enamabala Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
He lives in you He lives in me He watches over Everything we see Into the water Into the truth In your reflection He lives in you
[edit] We Are One
Simba: As you go through life you'll see There is so much that we Don't understand
Simba: And the only thing we know Is things don't always go The way we planned
Simba: But you'll see every day That we'll never turn away When it seems all your dreams come undone
Simba: We will stand by your side Filled with hope and filled with pride We are more than we are We are one
Kiara: If there's so much I must be Can I still just be me The way I am?
Kiara:Can I trust in my own heart Or am I just one part Of some big plan?
Simba: Even those who are gone Are with us as we go on Your journey has only begun
Simba: Tears of pain, tears of joy One thing nothing can destroy Is our pride, deep inside We are one
Simba: We are one, you and I We are like the earth and sky One family under the sun
Simba: All the wisdom to lead All the courage that you need You will find when you see We are one
[edit] My Lullaby
Zira: Sleep, my little Kovu Let your dreams take wing One day when you're big and strong You will be a king
Zira: I've been exiled, persucuted Left alone with no defense When I think of what that brute did I get a little tense
Zira: But I dream a dream so pretty That I don't feel so depressed 'Cause it soothes my inner kitty And it helps me get some rest
Zira: The sound of Simba's dying gasp His daughter squealing in my grasp His lionesses' mournful cry That's my lullaby
Zira: Now the past I've tried forgetting And my foes I could forgive Trouble is I knows it's pitty But I hate to let them live
Nuka: So you found yourself somebody who'd chase Simba up a tree
Zira: Oh, the battle may be bloody, but that kind of works for me
Zira: The melody of angry growls A counterpoint of painful howls A symphony of death, oh my! That's my lullaby
Zira: Scar is gone... but Zira's still around To love this little lad Till he learns to be a killer With a lust for being bad!
Nuka: Sleep, ya little termite! Uh-- I mean, precious little thing! Vitani: One day when you're big and strong Zira: You will be a king!
Zira: The pounding of the drums of war The thrill of Kovu's mighty roar
Nuka: The joy of vengeance Vitani: Testify! Zira: I can hear the cheering Nuka & Vitani: Kovu! What a guy!
Zira: Payback time is nearing And then our flag will fly Against a blood-red sky All outlanders: That's my lullaby!
[edit] Upendi
Rafiki: There's a place where the crazy moon Makes the monkeys sing and the baboons swoon And the sultry scent of the lotus bloom Will carry you away
Rafiki: Where the hippos swing from the jungle vines And the rhino rhumba in a conga line And the pink flamingoes are intertwined As the stars come out to play
Rafiki: In Upendi Where the passionfruit grows sweet And it's so divine That you lose your mind As it sweeps you off your feet In Upendi Without a worry or a care It just takes two To make it true Your heart will lead you there
Rafiki: You better watch your step 'cause the path is steep Better hold your breath cause the water's deep It's a long way down over Lovers' Leap But falling's half the fun!
Rafiki: In Upendi Where the passionfruit grows sweet And it's so divine That you lose your mind As it sweeps you off your feet In Upendi Without a worry or a care It just takes two To make it true Your heart will take you there
Rafiki: You can beat the bush like there's no tomorrow From Tanganyika to Kilimanjaro But you'll find Upendi wherever you are Oh underneath the sun
Rafiki & Chorus: In Upendi Where the passionfruit grows sweet And it's so divine That you lose your mind As it sweeps you off your feet In Upendi Without a worry or a care It just takes two To make it true Your heart will take you there Kiara: Upendi!
Rafiki & Chorus: Down In Upendi Way down In Upendi!
[edit] One Of Us
Deception Disgrace Evil as plain as the scar on his face
Deception (An outrage!) Disgrace (For shame!) He asked for trouble the moment he came
Deception (An outrage!) (He can't change his stripes) Disgrace (For shame!) (You know these Outsider types) He asked for trouble the moment he came (See you later, agitator!) Deception (An outrage!) (Just leave us alone!) Disgrace (For shame!) (Traitor, go back with your own!) He asked for trouble the moment he came (See you later, agitator!)
Born in grief Raised in hate Helpless to defy his fate Let him run Let him live But do not forget what we cannot forgive
And he is not one of us He has never been one of us He is not part of us Not our kind
Someone once lied to us Now we're not so blind For we knew he would do what he's done And we know that he'll never be one of us
He is not one of us
Deception
Disgrace
Deception
Disgrace
Deception
[edit] Love Will Find A Way
In a perfect world One we've never known We would never need to face the world alone
They can have the world We'll create our own I may not be brave or strong or smart But somewhere in my secret heart
I know Love will find a way Anywhere I go I'm home If you are there beside me
Like dark turning into day Somehow we'll come through Now that I've found you Love will find a way
I was so afraid Now I realize Love is never wrong And so it never dies
There's a perfect world Shining in your eyes And if only they could feel it too The happiness I feel with you
They'd know Love will find a way Anywhere we go We're home If we are there together
Like dark turning into day Somehow we'll come through Now that I've found you Love will find a way
I know love will find a way

[edit] Chow Down
He called us slobbering!
Said we were mangy!
Did I hear stupid?
Huh?
Tell us again-- gee It's so incredible
That you're so rude
When you're so edible
When you are food!
It's time to chow down
Chow down! Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down
I'm chompin' at the bit, baby
My stomach's on the growl, son
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 Seeing you're already brown Chow down! Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chow down!
Your ribs are looking so tasty
Such chewy little chops, chums
Eat up!
Now wasn't it her mom who ate your dad?
And having parents eaten makes us mad
We're gonna settle up the score a tad
We've never had a snack of such renown Chow down! Chow down!
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-
What, Ed? What is it?
Hey, did we order this dinner to go?
No
Well, there it goes!
I think we should begin the meal from scratch So many juicy segments to detach Be good as gold for you're as good as carved
Here, kitty kitty...
We're starved!
[edit] Endless Night
Where has the starlight gone? Dark is the day How can I find my way home?
Home is an empty dream Lost to the night Father, I feel so alone
You promised you'd be there Whenever I needed you Whenever I call your name You're not anywhere
I'm trying to hold on Just waiting to hear your voice One word, just a word will do To end this nightmare
When will the dawning break Oh endless night Sleepless I dream of the day
When you were by my side Guiding my path Father, I can't find the way
You promised you'd be there Whenever I needed you Whenever I call your name You're not anywhere
I'm trying to hold on Just waiting to hear your voice One word, just a word will do To end this nightmare
I know that the night must end And that the sun will rise And that the sun will rise
I know that the clouds must clear And that the sun will shine And that the sun will shine
I know that the night must end And that the sun will rise And that the sun will rise I know that the clouds must clear And that the sun will shine And that the sun will shine (Repeat to end)
I know Yes, I know The sun will rise Yes, I know I know The clouds must clear
I know that the night must end I know that the sun will rise And I'll hear your voice deep inside
I know that the night must end And that the clouds must clear The sun The sun will rise The sun The sun will rise
[edit] Madness Of King Scar
Zazu, why am I not loved? I am that rare and awesome thing I'm every inch a king Yet I feel a twinge of doubt As I go walk about
Hey, boss!
When my name is whispered through the pride Is this talk of love or regicide?
Reggie who?
Tell me I'm adored Please tell me I'm adored
Hey, boss!
Oh, what is it?
We got a bone to pick with you
There's no food, no water--
Yeah. It's dinnertime, and there ain't no stinkin' entrées!
Oh, you and your petty complaints. You don't know what real hunger is. Day after day it gnaws at the very core of my being
I had that once. It was worms
No, no, no... it's like an itch... deep, persistent, profound...
That's it-- worms! When they get really bad all you gotta do is... hunker down and scoot
Thanks for the tip. Ingrates! If it weren't for me you'd be beating off buzzards for your next bite!
Yeah, you're our savior, thanks a bunch But how about some lunch? It doesn't matter if it's fresh I need a fix of flesh My bones have moved to where they've never been They are on the outside looking in
Are you blaming me?
Oh no, it's the lionesses
You are so adored Oh, you are so adored
That's more like it
But what I'd give for one more hit Of wildebeest kielbasa Or maybe hornbill on the spit...
Oh, how I miss Mufasa
Mufasa?! Mufasa?! How dare you! I told you never to mention that name!
Note taken. I shall never mention "M-m-m" again
Even in death, his shadow looms over me There he is! No! There he is! And there!
Calm yourself, Sire, or you'll get another one of your splitting headaches!
I am perfectly fine! I'm better than Mufasa was I'm revered I am reviled I'm idolized I am despised I'm keeping calm I'm going wild!
I tell myself I'm fine Yes I am, no you're not Yes I am, no you're not I tell myself I'm fine
No you're not, yes I am, no you're not Yes I am No you're not Yes, no, yes, no, who am I talking to...?
Oh, pull yourself together, Sire!
Oh, very well. Zazu? Zazu, Zazu, Zazu...?
Yes, Sire?
Nobody loved me, there's the rub, not even as a cub What did my brother have that I don't have?
Do you want the short list or the long?
Whatever!
Well, he had adoring subjects... a loving family... a devoted queen...
That's it! I need a queen!
A what?
A queen, man! A queen! Without a queen, what am I? A dead end, no line, no descendants, no future. With a queen, I'll have cubs... Immortality will be mine! Immortality will be mine!
Scar
Ah, Nala... Your timing couldn't have been more perfect. My how you've grown
Scar, you have got to do something. We're being forced to overhunt
She's got those assets feminine
You're the king. Control the hyenas
I have to make her mine
You're destroying the Pridelands
Nobility in every gene
If we don't stop now.. Don't you see...
She has to be my queen
...there's still a chance for things to be all right again...
Come, sweet Nala It's written in the stars
What are you doing? Are you listening to me?
We'll create a host of little Scars
What are you talking about?
Tell me I'm adored
Get away from me
Tell me I'm adored Oh, Nala... you know how I loathe violence... One way or another, you will be mine
Never, Scar. Never!
You belong to me You all belong to me
[edit] Morning Report
It's an honor and a privilege, a duty I perform With due sense of decorum and with pride With deference and great respect very much the norm Plus a hint of sycophancy on the side To lay before my ruler all the facts about his realm To fill him in on all the beastly news
Yes, yes, Zazu, get on with it!
In order that His Majesty stands sturdy at the helm Aware of all the fauna's latest views
Zazu! The morning report!
Er-- yes, Sire-- the morning report
Chimps are going ape, giraffes remain above it all Elephants remember, though just what I can't recall Crocodiles are snapping up fresh offers from the banks Showed interest in my nest egg but I quickly said "No thanks!" We haven't paid the hornbills and the vultures have a hunch Not everyone invited will be coming back for lunch
This is the morning report Gives you the long and the short Every grunt, roar, and snort Not a tale I distort On the morning report
What are you doing, son?
Pouncing
Let and old pro show you how it's done
The buffalo have got a beef About this season's grass Stay low to the ground Warthogs have been thwarted In attempts to save their gas Flamingoes in the pink and Yeah, stay low! Chasing secretary birds Saffron is this season's color Seen in all the herds Shh, not a sound Moving down the rank and file Take it slow
To near the bottom rung One more step Far too many beetles are Quite frankly in the dung Then pounce! Aaaaaak!
This is the morning report Gives you the long and the short Every grunt, roar, and snort Not a tale I distort On the morning report
This is the morning report Gives you the long and the short Every grunt, roar, and snort Not a tale I distort On the morning report
[edit] Shadowland
Fatshe leso lea halalela [The land of our ancestors is holy]
Fatshe leso lea halalela
Shadowland The leaves have fallen This shadowed land This was our home
The river's dry The ground has broken So I must go Now I must go
And where the journey may lead me Let your prayers be my guide I cannot stay here, my family But I'll remember my pride
Prideland I have no choice My land I will find my way Tear-stained Lea halalela Dry land Take this Take this prayer With you What lies out there Fatshe leso Lea halalela
And where the journey may lead you
Let this prayer be your guide
Though it may take you so far away
Always remember your pride
Fatshe leso lea halalela Fatshe leso lea halalela Fatshe leso lea halalela
And where the journey may lead you Let this prayer be your guide Though it may take you so far away Always remember your pride
And where the journey may lead you Giza buyabo, giza buyabo Let this prayer be your guide I will return, I will return Beso bo Though it may take you so far away Giza buyabo, I will return Always remember your pride Giza buyabo, oh giza buyabo
Beso bo, my people, beso bo
[edit] They Live In You
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Night And the spirit of life calling Mamela And a voice With the fear of a child asking Mamela
Wait There's no mountain too great Hear these words and have faith Have faith
They live in you They live in me They're watching over Everything we see In every creature In every star In your reflection They live in you
They live in you They live in me They're watching over Everything we see In every creature In every star In your reflection They live in you
