Raven862 asked about this song from The Lion King, so enjoy your request! I thought maybe Cedric could sing this as he makes another plan to take over the kingdom. And just for fun, let's imagine that he and his mother can understand Wormwood. And a quick question: has Cedric read this story?
Cedric: I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a sea beast'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
Wormwood: And where do I feature?
Cedric: 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!
Wormwood: Yeah, Be prepared.
Yeah-heh... I'll be prepared, heh.
...For what?
Cedric: For the replacement of the king.
Wormwood: Why? Is he gonna retire?
Cedric: No, fool- we're going to overthrow him. And the royal family too.
Wormwood: Great idea! Who needs a king?
No king! No king! La-la-la-la-laa-laa!
Cedric: Idiot! There will be a king!
Wormwood: Hey, but you said, uh...
Cedric: I will be king! ...Stick with me, and
you'll never go hungry again!
Wormwood: Yaay! All right! Long live the king!
Long live the king! Long live the king!
Winifred (emerging from the painting): That's my Ceddykins!
Cedric: Would you like to sing together, Mummy?
Wormwood and Winifred: It's great that we'll soon be connected.
With a king who'll be all-time adored.
Cedric: 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
Wormwood and Winifred: Oooh!
Cedric: Be prepared for the murkiest scam
Wormwood and Winifred: Oooh... La! La! La!
Cedric: Meticulous planning
Wormwood and Winifred: We'll have food!
Cedric: Tenacity spanning
Wormwood and Winifred: Lots of food
Cedric: Decades of denial
Wormwood and Winifred: We repeat
Cedric: Is simply why I'll
Wormwood and Winifred: Endless meat
Cedric: Be king undisputed
Wormwood and Winifred vocalizing over Cedric: Aaaaaaah...
Cedric: Respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I am
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!
All: Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!
