The Lion King
Music: Elton John, Johnny Noble
Lyrics: Tim Rice, Leleiohaku
Circle of Life
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 that 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

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 mane 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!
No one saying do this
NALA:
No one saying be there
SIMBA:
No one saying stop that
NALA:
No one saying see here
ZAZU:
Now see here!
SIMBA:
Free to run around all day
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
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
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 wait to be king!

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
SCAR & (HYENAS):
So prepare for the coup of the century
(Oooh!)
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
(Oooh! La! La! La!)
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
ALL:
Be prepared!
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!

Hakuna Matata
TIMON:
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
PUMBAA:
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
TIMON:
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
BOTH:
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
TIMON:
Why, when he was a young warthog
PUMBAA:
When I was a young warthog!
TIMON:
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after every meal
PUMBAA:
I'm a sensitive soul, though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
PUMBAA & (TIMON):
And oh, the shame
(He was ashamed!)
Thoughta changin' my name
(Oh, what's in a name?)
And I got downhearted
(How did you feel?)
Ev'rytime that I...
BOTH:
Hakuna Matata!
What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata!
Ain't no passing craze
SIMBA:
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
ALL THREE:
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
CHORUS:
Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna--!
SIMBA:
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
ALL:
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!

Can You Feel the Love Tonight
TIMON:
I can see what's happening
And they don't have a clue
They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two
The sweet caress of twilight
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air
CHORUS:
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
Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Love is where they are
TIMON:
And if he falls in love tonight
It can be assumed
PUMBAA:
His carefree days with us are history
BOTH:
In short, our pal is doomed

Hawaiian War Chant (Tahuwa-Huwai)
TIMON & (PUMBAA):
Luau!
If you're hungry for a hunk of fat and juicy meat
Eat my buddy, Pumbaa, here because he is a treat
Come on down and dine
On this tasty swine
All you have to do is get in line!
Are you achin'
(Yup, yup, yup)
For some bacon?
(Yup, yup, yup)
He's a big pig
(Yup, yup)
You can be a big pig, too
Oi!

Circle of Life (Elton John)
From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
Some say eat or be eaten
Some say live and let live
But all are agreed as they join the stampede
You should never take more than you give
CHORUS:
In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life
Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with the scars
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 the great and small on the endless round
CHORUS:
In the circle of life
It's the wheel of fortune
It's the leap of faith
It's the band of hope
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life
On the path unwinding
In the circle, the circle of life

I Just Can't Wait to Be King (Elton John)
Way beyond the water hole
A little down the line
The jungle and the plains and peaks
Are scheduled to be mine
I'm gonna be the ruler
Of most everything around
From the grandest of the mountains
To the humble common ground
My reign will be a super-awesome thing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
I'm going to be a noble king
And scrupulously fair
I only need a little time
Perhaps a little hair
I'm gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my roar
The fauna and the flora gonna swing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
CHORUS:
No one saying do this
No one saying be there
No one saying stop that
No one saying see here
Free to run around all day
I'll be free to do it my way
No one saying do this
No one saying be there
No one saying stop that
No one saying see here
Free to run around all day
Free to do it my way
The time has come
As someone said
To talk of many things
This may be true
But I would rather stick to talking kings
It's easy to be royal
If you're already leonine
It isn't just my right
Even my left will be divine
The monarchy is waiting to go zing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Oh, I just can't wait to be king

Can You Feel the Love Tonight (End Title)
There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you
CHORUS:
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight?
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours
CHORUS:
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight?
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
