I don't own the tune or characters!
To tune of 'Be Prepared' from the Lion King.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[Magneto:]
I know that your powers of mutation
Are as good as the x-men's multiplied
But powerful as you are, pay attention
My words are a matter of pride
It's clear from your plotting expressions
The lights are all on upstairs
But we're talking mutants and evolution
So 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
[Mystique:]
And where do we feature?
[Magneto:]
Just listen to teacher
I know it sounds grimy
But you'll be rewarded
When at last we are given our dues!
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!
[Toad:] Yeah, be prepared.
We'll be prepared.
For what?
[Magneto:] For the acceptance of mutants.
[Toad:] Why, are the humans accepting us?
[Magneto:] No, fool. We'll kill them. And the X-Men too!
[Toad:] Great idea! Who needs humans? No humans, no humans, la la la la la la.
[Magneto:] Idiot! There will be some humans!
[Toad:] But you said...
[Magneto:] There will be slaves. Stick with me, and you'll never have to do housework again!
[Toad:] Yay! All right!
Long live Magneto!
Long live Magneto!
[Toad & Mystique:]
It's great that we'll soon be associated
With a leader who'll be all-time adored
[Magneto:]
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 anywhere without me
So prepare for the overthrow of the century
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
Painstaking planning
Firmness spanning
Decades of denial
Is simply why we'll
Be unquestionable
Respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder we are
Yes, my powers and dreams are bared
Be prepared!
[All:]
Yes, our powers and dreams are bared
Be prepared!
