CIRCLE OF LIFE
Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba
Sithi uhm ingonyama
Nants ingonyama bagithi baba
Sithi uhhmm ingonyama
Ingonyama
Siyo Nqoba
Ingonyama
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (Verses Continue throughout song)
Woman:
From the day we arrive on the planet,
And blinking, step into the sun
There is more to see then can ever be seen,
More to do then can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find then can ever be found
But the sun rolling high, through a sapphire sky
Keeps great and small through 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, in the path unwinding
In the circle, the Circle of life
THE MORNING REPORT
Zazu:
Checking in with the morning report!
Mufasa:
Fire Away!
Zazu:
Chimps are going ape, Giraffes remain above it all
Elephants remember, though just what I can't recall
Crocodiles are snapping up fresh offers fr0om the banks
Showed intrest 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 that I distort
On the morning report
Mufasa:
What are you doing son?
Simba:
Pouncing
Mufasa:
Let an old pro show you how it's done
Zazu:
The buffalo have got a beef
About this season's grass (Mufasa to Simba) Stay low to the ground
Warthogs have been thwarted
In attempts to save their gas
Flamingoes in the pink and (Simba to Mufasa) Yeah, okay, stay low to the ground, right!
Chasing secretary birds
Saffron is this season's color
Seen in all the herds (Mufasa to Simba) Shh, not a sound
Moving down the rank and file (Mufasa to Simba) Take it slow
To near the bottom rung (Mufasa to Simba) One more step
Far too many beetles are
Quite frankly in the dung (Mufasa to Simba) Then —
-Zazu squawks-
Simba:
This is the morning report, gives you the long and the short
Every grunt, roar and snort, not a tale that I distort
On the morning report!
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 onna be the main event, like no king was before
I'm brushing up, I'm 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:
Now what I meant was-
Simba:
No one saying stop that
Zazu:
Look, what you don't realize-
Nala and Simba:
No one saying see here!
Zazu:
Now see here!
Simba:
Free to run around all day!
Zazu:
Well that's definately out
Simba:
Free to do it all my way!
Zazu:
I think it's time that you an 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, Iwouldn'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 spotlight!
Animals:
Let every creature go for broke and sing
Lets hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be king Simba's finest fling!
Simba:
Oh I just can't wait to be king! (x3)
BE PREPARED
Scar:
I never thought hyenas essential, they're crude and unspeakably plain
But maybe they've a glimmer of potential
If allied to my vision and brain
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
(Ooh!)
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
(Ooh... 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
(Aaaaah...)
Respected, saluted
(...aaaaah...)
And seen for the wonder I am
(...aaaaah!)
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
(Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo)
Be prepared!
Hyenas:
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!
HUKUNA MATATA
Timon:
Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase
Pumba:
Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze
Timon and Pumba:
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It's our problem-free
philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
Timon:
Why, when he was a young warthog
Pumba:
When I was a young wart hoooog!
Timon:
Very nice.
Pumba:
Thanks!
Timon:
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could clear the savannah after every meal
Pumba:
I'm a sensitive soul, though I seem thick-skinned, and it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And oh, the shame
Timon:
He was ashamed!
Pumba:
Thought of changin' my name
Timon:
Oh, what's in a name?
Pumba:
And I got downhearted
Timon:
How did you feel?
Pumba:
Everytime that I-
Timon:
Pumbaa! Not in front of the kids!
Pumba:
Oh... sorry.
Timon and Pumba:
Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze
Simba:
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
Timon:
Yeah, sing it, kid!
Timon and Pumba:
It's our problem-free
philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna matata
Simba:
It means no worries
For the rest of your days.
Timon and Pumba: It's our problem-free
philosophy
Hakuna Matata
CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT?
Timon:
I can see what's happening
Pumba:
What?
Timon:
And they don't have a clue
Pumba:
Who?
Timon:
They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trios down to two
Pumba:
Oh
Timon:
(French accent, first line only) The sweet caress of twilight
There's magic in the air, and with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air
Woman:
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 tel 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?
Woman:
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 they fall in love tonight
It can be assumed
Pumba:
His carefree days
With us are history
Timon and Pumba:
In short our pal,
Is doomed
These were done a bit differently then then the others, so I cannot take 100 credit for them. I have typed the majority of the verses from memory (yes I have seen TLK1 a million times and are one of those people who sing along to the songs) but I have checked them with another site just to make sure. (Mostly just the Swahili in the begining) Definately getting ready to put The Little Mermaid lyrics up, so those are probably the next to be posted. Anyways, I hope you liked the lyrics and take a looksie at some of my other works.
